What if the spaces we live, learn, and heal in could actually heal us back?
In this powerful podcast interview, we sit down with Janet Roche, MDS, CAPS—nationally recognized design practitioner, educator, and founder of the Trauma-Informed Design Society. Janet is a pioneer in Trauma-Informed Design, helping reshape architecture and interior design to be inclusive, empathetic, and deeply human.
We dive into:
Her personal journey and the experiences that shaped her vision
How design can either harm or heal
The myths around “good” design and disability
Creating safe spaces for unseen trauma
What it really costs to center inclusion
The tension between beauty and healing
Whether you’re a designer, educator, social worker, architect—or simply someone who believes in a more just and humane world—this episode will change how you see the spaces around you.
