Simone O’Brien’s story is one of the most powerful and heartbreaking domestic violence cases in Australia — and one of the most inspiring survivorship journeys in the world.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Simone sits down with Your Trauma Talks to share the night that changed her life forever: when someone she trusted brutally attacked her, leaving her with life‑threatening injuries, permanent trauma, and a long road to recovery.

Simone opens up about:

• The early warning signs she didn’t realize were red flags
• The violent attack that nearly took her life
• The surgeries, rehabilitation, and emotional rebuilding that followed
• How domestic violence affects the brain, body, and identity
• Why silence protects abusers — and storytelling protects survivors
• Her mission to educate, advocate, and save lives through awareness

Today, Simone is an international speaker, survivor advocate, and a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves. Her courage is reshaping conversations around domestic violence, coercive control, and survivor empowerment.

This episode is a reminder that trauma doesn’t define you — your strength does.
