We help stop sexual abuse from happening by teaching about grooming and empowering everyone to protect the innocent instead of the predator, and inspire people to heal and move forward from sexual abuse. I believe everyone should have a happy childhood…at any age.

Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg
The conversations no one wanted to have. We are having them anyway.
Hey Everyone!
For years, people have talked about what happened to me. They’ve talked about the headlines, the manipulation, the crime, and the unbelievable parts of the story that made people stop and stare. But very few have talked about what came after. Almost no one does, when it comes to trauma.
What it feels like to grow up carrying trauma inside your body. What healing actually looks like, what survival costs, and what it means to keep living anyway.
Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg was created to have the conversations survivors were rarely invited into. Not the polished version, not the sensationalized version. The honest one.
This podcast is a space for survivors, advocates, experts, and truth-tellers to speak openly about trauma, healing, resilience, prevention, and the systems that allow abuse to continue in silence. Some conversations are heartbreaking, some are hopeful, and some are deeply uncomfortable. All of them matter.
This is not a crime podcast. This is what comes after the headlines fade, and it is where the hard work begins. Every conversation follows the same path: the wound, the work, and the way forward. The healing, the rebuilding, the anger, the survival, and the fight to make sure the next generation grows up safer than we did.

If this conversation resonates with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it. Silence has protected abuse for far too long, and that ends one honest conversation at a time.
With gratitude,
Jan Broberg

What if we talked about trauma like we talk about cancer?
with Austen Tanner & Teresa Agustin
Trauma is not your identity. It is something that happened to you. And it can be interrupted.

Eric Osborn
Audio Engineer · Trauma Interrupted
Through a childhood marked by trauma and insecurity, music has always been Eric Osborn’s safe haven. After questioning why certain songs or audiobooks felt comforting, his passion as a multi-instrumentalist evolved into production and mixing.
While working as an audio technician at Center for the Arts at Kayenta, Eric met Jan Broberg, who was Executive Director. Both departed CFAK in 2022 and helped create The Jan Broberg Show, with Eric tapped for audio engineering duties.
Nearly four years later, he is still striving to provide the safest possible audio experience for such sensitive subjects.

Carrie Grant
Production Assistant · Trauma Interrupted
Though Carrie was adopted into a family who sexually and physically abused her throughout her childhood, she nonetheless excelled at sports, art, reading, and music. These activities helped her cope with the nightmare at home.
She has made excellent progress on her healing journey, overcoming major traumas and many triggers. She holds a strong belief in the power of forgiveness, and loves helping other survivors in whatever way she is able.
Carrie joined the JBF team in the early days and has been a production assistant for The Jan Broberg Show since the start. She has helped Jan and the team find survivors, advocates, clinicians, and allies who can share their voices on the show. As we transition to Trauma Interrupted, Carrie remains determined to help survivors share their stories and shift the public stigmas so many survivors live with every single day.
