Have you ever wondered what the difference is between coaching and counseling? In today's conversation, Katie is delving into this topic with seasoned coach and trained therapist, Julie Parker.  The rapid growth of the coaching industry brings with it a concern for the lack of adequate training for those holding space for trauma. We discuss the nuances of the coaching profession, the critical distinctions between coaching and traditional counseling, and why it's paramount for coaches to be not only trauma-informed but also to understand the scope of their practice.

Our words matter. And when it comes to trauma-informed care, it is one of our most accessible things to begin shifting.  In today's episode, Katie's in conversation with guest Rachel Archambault where they dive deep into the power of language in trauma-informed care. Rachel, a Broward County speech and language pathologist and survivor of the mass violence incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, joins us to shed light on the important role of language in trauma-informed care. This episode discusses the uncomfortable truth behind phrases like "get over it" and "everything happens for a reason," and delves into more empathetic alternatives that honor our full emotional spectrum. By sharing her journey, Rachel underscores that trauma-informed care is a journey, not a destination, impacting not just professionals but everyone.

There are survivors among us. Underreported statistics show that someone in the United States experiences sexual violence every 68 seconds (source: RAINN).  We can no longer assume survivors are in the minority when we know it is the majority of us. With knowing this reality, how can we focus on creating spaces that promote healing for us all? In today’s episode, Katie is in conversation with her dear colleague Zabie Yamasaki. In this conversation, Katie and Zabie honor the origins of trauma informed care, discuss the importance of intersectional inclusion and spaces for survivors to remember themselves and explore the importance of self-consent. When we prioritize trauma-informed care and integrate it into our everyday lives, we can promote a culture of consent for people to show up and honor themselves, their safety and capacity.

If we know how pervasive and insidious trauma is, then why wouldn't we want to ensure we are utilizing an approach that minimizes harm as much as possible?  If we know that trauma is our bodies doing exactly what they are meant to do to keep us safe, then why wouldn't we utilize an approach that reconnects us back to our sense of safety and care?  In today's episode, Katie is sharing five reasons why we need to prioritize trauma-informed care. These reasons are helpful reminders for us to reenergize our commitment to showing up in this practice. Whatever your why is for doing this work, this podcast episode is a gentle reminder we are not in this alone.

Trauma-informed care is both an individual and collective approach. It is about going within to shift not only how we see but relate to ourselves and others. It’s about embracing our wholeness. But what if our wholeness includes identities and cultures that have been intentionally marginalized and colonized? In today's episode, Katie is in conversation with coach and trainer, Shirin Eskandani about how trauma-informed care and decolonization are tandem practices. As an experienced coach and coach trainer, Shirin shares how she is creating a more ethical, decolonized, and trauma-informed future for the coaching industry. This episode reminds us that the road to a decolonized, trauma-informed future is an ongoing journey of collective learning and unlearning.

This is a pause week on the podcast as Katie gets ready to celebrate her wedding!  Instead of a full episode, today is more of a reminder and invitation for all of us to practice the pause. Practicing the pause is a way for us to literally press pause and slow things down. In a culture of unnecessary urgency and being surrounded by our own stress and witnessing collective trauma, we can all benefit from this practice. In this invitation, Katie shares a little about this simple but powerful, trauma-informed micropractice. We will be back November 21st with an all new episodes!
