In this episode of Trauma Interrupted, Jan Broberg sits down with Dr. Kate Lund, licensed clinical psychologist, resilience expert, author of Bounce and her new release Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting, for a conversation about what it actually takes to build resilience, in ourselves and in the kids we're raising.
Dr. Kate traces her path into psychology back to a childhood diagnosis of hydrocephalus and decades of managing a chronic medical condition, and the two explore how early struggle can shape a life's calling. They talk candidly about how trauma doesn't always surface right away, sometimes it takes decades, and why healing as an adult is one of the most powerful things a parent can model for their children.
The conversation moves through practical, usable tools: a simple breathing technique called the relaxation response, the power of daily gratitude journaling, a self-compassion exercise that sparked real breakthroughs in Jan's own survivor community, and honest talk about comparison culture, social media, and letting go of perfectionism.
Above all, this episode keeps circling back to one idea: there is always possibility on the other side of a challenge.
