In this episode, we sit down with the remarkable Jo Cooper; an Australian singer/songwriter, storyteller, and passionate social impact advocate whose courage changed laws and lives.

Jo made national headlines after a five-and-a-half-year legal battle to keep her beloved dog, Angus, in her Sydney apartment. What began as a personal fight became a landmark case - Cooper v The Owners - Strata Plan No 58068 - that led to a historic court ruling protecting the rights of apartment residents across NSW.

But Jo’s story doesn’t stop there. She’s the founder of The Good Warrior, a movement created to combat systemic abuse and empower people to speak up. She’s now advocating for the national implementation of Claire’s Law in Australia - an important step to protect individuals from domestic violence by providing access to vital information about a partner’s history.

This conversation is raw, powerful, and deeply inspiring - a story of justice, resilience, and the unstoppable strength of one woman who refused to back down.
