Ep 9 "A Night Out Shouldn’t End Like This"

🚨 Trigger Warning: This episode includes open discussion about sexual assault, victim-blaming, and safety concerns for women. Please listen with care. 🚨

This week on The Ripple Effect, Katie and Shane pick up right where they left off – diving into one of the most important and emotional topics to hit Irish social media in recent weeks: the experience and brave testimony of Chloe Koyce.

Katie opens the episode with raw honesty about her own emotional reaction to Chloe’s video, while Shane calls out what really pissed him off – the blatant victim-blaming and the deeply embedded societal standards that force women to explain every single move they make just to feel safe… and still be doubted.

This isn’t just a “chat” – it’s a reckoning.
💬 What does safety mean for women today?
💬 Why are victims still expected to justify their trauma?
💬 And how can we support women in a world that still doesn't always believe them?

This episode is powerful, emotional, and necessary.
If you’re a parent, a partner, a friend, or simply someone who cares – you need to hear this.

Because silence helps no one. And being “on her side” isn’t enough – we need action. We need change.
