Trauma Town is a conversational podcast reflecting on photojournalist and director Amanda Mustard’s navigation of generational trauma.

After spending more than eight years excavating family wounds and unlocking the secrets of her grandfather’s serial sexual abuse, there’s still a lot left to unpack.

Listen:

Mustard speaks with her close friends (some who are conveniently experts) to reflect on what she learned along her journey in an effort to help other survivors along theirs.

Join her for a series of candid, vulnerable, and occasionally funny conversations about the precariousness of attempting to break a cycle of generational trauma.
