Can sexual trauma, with all its resulting shame, pain, and rage, really be turned into…art? Jan and guest Fior Baptiste (musician, screen writer) discuss reclaiming their light after the darkness of abuse. Fior shares not only the details of her personal journey, but also her will to create, and to find some benefit that can be found in expressive arts. She says “The trauma is gonna mess with me on a residual level and I need some balance. The way I balance is through my art.” Fior has no shortage of poetic wisdom to share on the healing journey. “I spent years trying to snuff out my own light because I didn’t want any more darkness to find it.” If that sounds like what you're going through, this episode will give you reason to believe in yourself again—here's two honest souls resisting the darkness and shining the light of strength and hope.

What do we do about pedophiles? Are there different kinds of pedophiles? How should we treat non-offending ones? How do people become pedophiles? In this episode, we take a wide look at the issue with Andrew Gold, creator and host of famous podcast On the Edge, where he interviews famous and controversial figures “on the edge” of society. In episode 6, Andrew interviewed Silas, a pedopile in Germany, and then went on a quest to understand the current mental climate around pedophilia in Europe. Now, Jan talks to Andrew about his ongoing research into how offending and non-offending pedophiles are treated, and the cultural shifts that have to happen in order for us to deal with this issue.

Helen Clonts’s childhood challenges included neglect, enforced shame, and a suicide attempt. She was abandoned, and then went through the foster care system in Honduras. She was adopted into a U.S. family, and then her adopted father passed away. Through all this, she experienced sexual abuse. Then, one day at a time, she built an indomitable will to heal and give her children better lives. As she moves forward in her healing journey, she is trying to share her story, a crucial step in recreating a better childhood. Listen for all of the ways she found to take strengthening steps, and to find and implement boundaries in her life. She made a final decision to believe that she is worth the effort, and that she would take the time, spend the money, and do whatever she needed to do to find her health. To feel like we're worth it, that we deserve to be happy, healthy and whole, is often the hardest part for survivors.

Today’s episode is Part II of our conversation with Jeff Buehener, author of The Sultan’s Seven Secrets. He discusses how he seized control of his life and how you can do the same using concepts and practices from the richest man to ever live, Sultan Musa of Mali. According to him, the way to get whatever you want in this life is to fully commit to playing make believe, as though you already have it, to the point where you have a true emotional life around having it, and watch and learn how your subconscious mind orchestrates it into reality. It’s like the secret, but good for healing from trauma too and it comes from the richest man in history!

Jennifer Lawley tells her story, which gives a clear glimpse of how family dynamics can go off the rails when abuse is exposed. Jennifer’s nephew began assaulting her when they were both very young. This adolescent abuser used both loving bonds and fear to his advantage, making sure he appeared well behaved to his parents while threatening to murder Jennifer’s sister. Amazingly, and uncommonly, Jennifer reported her abuse to her parents. Jennifer’s sister believed her abuser and denied the claims. Jennifer’s father blamed Jennifer for making him choose between two daughters. He would not believe her for almost five years. At school, rumors that Jennifer was trying to destroy her nephew’s reputation began. Join us to explore what the social consequences of reporting abuse can be, and how healing can come for all involved.

Our Purpose
Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg exists to change the way trauma is understood, discussed, and healed. It is the primary public-facing voice of the…
Why It Matters?
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.
The podcast is not just storytelling, it is movement-building media.
