Too Opinionated Interview: Audrey Hyams Romoff


Listen Later

In The Ripple Eclipse: Turning the Tide of Inherited Trauma, Audrey Hyams Romoff masterfully navigates between two seemingly disparate worlds: the glamorous, high-stakes realm of celebrity public relations and her ongoing struggle to break free from the grip of inherited trauma. With unflinching candour, wit, and a veteran storyteller's ear for dramatic moments, Hyams Romoff expands the lexicon of silent suffering, introducing a new way to describe how pain ripples across generations and obscures joy. For over thirty years, Hyams Romoff has been a fixture on Canada's cultural landscape, running the renowned agency OverCat Communications and shaping the public image of A-list clients, including Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katy Perry, will.i.am, Isabella Rossellini, Timothy Olyphant, and Shania Twain. Audrey grew up in the shadow of silence—her mother and grandmother survived the Holocaust but never spoke of it. One of Auschwitz's youngest survivors, her mother was emotionally unreachable. Her father became her lifeline. At forty-five, tragedy struck: her parents were found dead together in their garage. Her mother's suicide was clear; her father's death remains a mystery. From that darkness, she emerged with a vow: to confront the trauma that impacted four generations of women in her family. Audrey's titular metaphor, "ripple eclipse," neatly captures how trauma, particularly one as profound as surviving Auschwitz, is not confined to the person who endures it. Instead, its impact ripples outward, affecting children, grandchildren, and generations beyond.
