Truth Over Trauma: The Conversation Women Avoid

What happens when the person who protects everyone else… breaks? In this episode of The Kat Mak Talk Show, I sit down with former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer and international speaker Tammy Ward, who shares what 24 years on the front lines taught her about trauma, mental health, and the dangerous silence so many people live in. From general duty to major crime, domestic violence, and community relations, Tammy has seen first hand how often people hide behind the words “I’m fine” while silently struggling. Now, she’s on a mission to change that.
