The Trauma-Informed Lawyer Podcast

What if the way we were trained to work with people is actually causing harm? Hosted by Myrna McCallum — Métis lawyer, trauma educator, and speaker — The Trauma-Informed Lawyer is for anyone who works with people: lawyers, social workers, educators, healthcare providers, first responders, advocates, and beyond. Through inspiring interviews, courageous conversations, and honest commentary, Myrna and her guests explore the human side of professional practice — and go deeper, into the collective wounds that shape us all. These conversations examine trauma, liberation, and healing not just as individual experiences, but as communal and cultural ones, informed by Indigenous and racialized ways of knowing and being. This is the education in trauma, resilience, compassion, vicarious trauma, boundaries, and collective healing that no training program ever gave you. Because doing good work in the world starts with understanding people — and that requires understanding trauma.
