Who We Are

The Trauma Informed Leaders Podcast is where HR managers and business leaders come to rethink what healthy workplace culture actually looks like. This is not another “leadership inspiration” show. This is where we talk honestly about the behaviors leaders struggle to interpret—shutdowns, conflict, burnout, disengagement—and why they’re often rooted in stress, trauma, or lived experience, not poor performance.

Hosted by Christiane Scarpino, a workplace culture consultant with both professional training and lived experience with PTSD, this podcast brings a level of honesty and clarity most leadership conversations never reach. Christiane understands trauma from the inside out, and she translates that insight into practical strategies leaders can use immediately.

If you’re committed to building a workplace where people feel valued, understood, and able to thrive, you’re in the right place. The conversations here are real, practical, and grounded in both expertise and lived experience—because that’s what today’s workplaces need.

Are you the perfect guest for our show?

We're looking for HR professionals and business leaders who are committed to creating workplaces where people feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. If you believe that culture is built through relationships, trust, and emotionally intelligent leadership, you're exactly who we want on the show.

What conversations will we have?

Real conversations with HR managers and business leaders who are actively building cultures of trust, retention, and psychological safety.

Stories about what's working, what's not, and what leaders wish they had known sooner.

Straightforward, trauma-informed tools that help you interpret behavior, respond with clarity, and lead with confidence.

Honest discussions about the human side of work--because people don't leave their lived experience at the door.

What will you gain from being on or viewing this podcast?

Our audience and guests are striving to build workplaces where people feel safe, supported, and genuinely valued, not just measured by output. The goal is to create a space where HR professionals and business leaders can openly share their wins, challenges, and lessons learned as they work to strengthen trust, improve relationships and support emotional regulation across their teams.

They're looking for a community that understands the human side of leadership-a place where real conversations lead to practical insights and where leaders can grow into the kind of people employees trust, respect, and want to stay with.

What sets this podcast apart from the others?

We talk to real leaders about real stuff-the messy moments, the missteps, and the things that aren't working yet. No corporate gloss. No curated perfection. Just honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a safe, human-centered workplace.

And your host, Christiane Scarpino, brings something rare: professional expertise, 49 years of lived experience with PTSD and the perspective of a business owner. She understands trauma and leadership from the inside out, which means the insights are grounded, practical and the real deal.

This show isn't theory.

It's truth, experience, and leadership with heart.
