Debriefing Justice as Trauma with Ally & Mariana
from The Trauma-Informed Lawyer · host Alicia Hrbachek, Mariana Trujillo-Lezamas
In this episode, I’m joined by my team—Ally and Mariana—for a candid debrief after our recent conference. We take you behind the scenes of what it really took to bring this gathering to life. We share: The moments that stood out most—the powerful, the unexpected, and the deeply moving Some of the challenges and pressure points we navigated along the way The wins we’re celebrating (both visible and behind the scenes) Reflections on the speakers, their messages, and the impact they left on us The people and moments that shifted us in ways we’re still processing This conversation is honest, reflective, and rooted in what it means to do this kind of work in real time—not just when things go right, but when they’re complex, emotional, and evolving. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after the event ends, this is that conversation. The closing Maori prayer of protection was given by Tere Davis who is the Chairperson of Hei Tatau Pounamu, a tikanga‑based restorative justice trust in Auckland.

What this episode covers
In this episode, I sit down with my team—Ally and Mariana—for a real, unfiltered debrief following our recent conference. We reflect on the moments that moved us, the parts that challenged us, and everything in between. We talk openly about the highlights and low points, the behind-the-scenes realities of bringing this work to life, and what it actually takes—emotionally, mentally, and logistically—to hold space for conversations rooted in trauma, justice, and healing. Most importantly, we share the voices and messages that stayed with us—the speakers who shifted something in us, the stories we’re still carrying, and the people who, in many ways, changed us through their courage, authenticity, and truth. This is a conversation about impact, reflection, and the kind of work that doesn’t end when the event is over. It’s honest, grounded, and a reminder that when we gather with intention, something lasting always comes to us.
