In the second episode of A Normal Part of Life, Erahm and Koelle welcome Robert K. Reed, a nationally recognized leader in trauma-informed care, criminal justice reform, and prisoner reentry. Drawing on more than three decades of experience with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, Rob reveals how his work transformed his understanding of justice and taught him to look beyond behavior to the trauma and pain beneath it. Together, they explore how compassion and accountability can coexist, and how listening, understanding, and genuine human connection can lead to meaningful change.
