Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg
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 foundation and the main audience entry point into the JBF ecosystem. The show bridges lived experience, survivor testimony, education, systems critique, recovery tools, and cultural conversation into one platform.
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.

Today, Jan is joined by Sarah Turney, host of the Voices For Justice podcast, creator of Voices For Justice Media, and advocate for those who have been lost and not yet found. Sarah shares her harrowing journey of seeking justice for her sister Alissa, who went missing in 2001. Sarah discusses the complexities of family dynamics, the impact of manipulation, and her relentless advocacy efforts, including the creation of a documentary, podcast and a media company to help share others' stories from their own lips. She reflects on the emotional toll of not knowing her sister's fate and the challenges faced in the pursuit of justice, culminating in her father's arrest and subsequent acquittal. The conversation highlights the importance of community support and the hope that can arise from sharing stories of loss and resilience. Sarah discusses the case of Alicia Navarro, the impact of grooming and trust, and the importance of empathy born from personal experiences. The dialogue emphasizes the need for balance in helping others, the role of gratitude in healing, and the power of music as a source of strength. Sarah reflects on her relationship with her sister Alissa and the complexities of detaching from toxic family dynamics, ultimately embracing independence and the desire to empower others through storytelling.
