Welcome to Trauma and Pop Culture, a monthly podcast where we seek to make knowledge about trauma accessible to the everyday person through analyzing books, movies, TV shows, and other elements of popular culture through a trauma lens. 

Please be advised that every discussion assumes everyone has listened to or read or watched said popular item. Expect spoilers around any corner. 

If you have questions about trauma or a show or movie or anything you think would be great to analyze, send it to [email protected]

I’m a Trauma Recovery Coach who also works with clients one on one. If you’re interested in working with me, you can visit my website, KatherineSpearing.com/coaching for more information and use the contact form to reach out.

While you’re on my website, you can sign up for my monthly mailing list, where I’ll send out more tidbits about trauma, what popular culture stories I have found helpful on my own trauma recovery journey, plus a few other things you might enjoy. 

While the tone of this podcast is mostly light-hearted and fun, we will be discussing trauma. There might be some elements that are activating, especially if you are a trauma survivor. So move slow and take care of yourself. If you find yourself overwhelmed, you can always take a break, and come back later.
