Today Jan is joined again by Shari to continue their conversation on how to build healthy relationships while being aware of and dealing with negative behaviors. Like many episodes of this show it all boils down to the fact that there needs to be more accessible services for children and adults who are suffering from sexual abuse, rape, and trafficking, and Jan and Shari are the type of people, in conjunction with their nonprofits (The Jan Broberg Foundation and The Shuniya Foundation), to make that a reality.

Today Jan is joined by Heather who is here to give voice to her story of abuse, rape, and appeasement throughout her years because she refuses to be ashamed or be responsible for the trauma done to her, it's her job to move past the abuse, grow, and to do her best to not pass her trauma onto her children. That's why Heather is here, to give voice to a story all too similar so that others might reach out and find their space to tell their story.

Today the Broberg sisters are joined by lifelong bestie Caroline Hanson Pearson to bring this series of episodes to a close. Don't worry though, there will be more content related to Jan's story, not to mention a couple of interviews we've been holding onto. As for this episode prepare for a bit of a laugh 'n cry as the girls unravel the combined events from Ep. 9 of A Friend of the Family and how time really flowed.

In this special episode, Jan Broberg revisits the day Elisabeth Smart was found 20 years ago, highlighting the issue of child sexual abuse and shedding light on the fact that perpetrators can often be people closest to the victim.
Drawing from her own experiences as a survivor of child sexual abuse, Jan shares the impact such abuse can have on a person's life, and the importance of speaking out and seeking help.
Jan shares valuable insights on how to recognize signs of child sexual abuse, how to prevent it from happening, and how to support survivors of such abuse.

Our PurposeΒ
Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg exists to change the way trauma is understood, discussed, and healed. It is the primary public-facing voice of theβ¦

Why It Matters?Β
Trauma narratives are often fragmented, sensationalized, or oversimplified. Survivors are either ignored or reduced to their worst moments. Trauma Interrupted reframes trauma as a human experience, not an identity, and recovery as a collective responsibility, not an individual burden.Β
The podcast is not just storytelling, it is movement-building media.Β
