A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP1: From Policing Trauma to Speaking Power with Tammy Ward

Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook Podcast as she sits down with retired RCMP Sergeant, international speaker, and resilience advocate Tammy Ward for one of the most powerful conversations of Season 3. With 24 years of frontline policing experience across Canada, Tammy shares the unseen realities behind the badge—from major crime investigations and domestic violence cases to leadership, trauma, burnout, and the mental health struggles many first responders face in silence. In this inspiring and deeply honest episode, Tammy opens up about her unexpected journey into policing as a young woman entering a male-dominated field, the emotional toll of trauma and loss, and the importance of creating psychologically safe environments where people feel supported enough to ask for help. She reflects on leadership during crisis, surviving burnout, and how communication, resilience, and self-awareness became essential in rebuilding her life after years of carrying the weight of high-pressure work. Tammy’s story is a powerful reminder that true strength is not pretending you’re okay—it’s having the courage to speak honestly, heal deeply, and help others do the same. Whether you’re navigating stress, leadership challenges, trauma, burnout, or personal growth, this episode will leave you inspired to start your own brave conversations.   Connect with Tammy Ward: Website: https://tammywardspeaks.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tammy-ward-speaks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tammy_ward_speaks/   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
