Trauma Uncensored is a weekly podcast that candidly explores what it’s really like to live with grief, trauma, and the daily realities of mental health, while holding onto the determination to keep moving forward uncensored, unapologetic, and out loud. Hosted by Brooke Scherer, whose son Logan was killed by a distracted driver in 2016, the show confronts the hard truths of healing with honesty and heart. Grounded and deeply human, each episode opens space for real conversations about loss, recovery, and the quiet—often unspoken—work of rebuilding a life after it’s been shattered.
Brooke Scherer hosts Trauma Uncensored, a education show with 60 episodes published.
