KOA Unplugged The Podcast

KOA Unplugged was launched in January 2025 with a heartfelt intention: to powerfully highlight the wide range of trauma informed services making a difference in people’s lives.

Every two weeks a new professional is welcomed for an honest and open conversation. There are no scripts, no rehearsals, just one genuine take. It is authentic, raw and real.

This podcast creates a space for truth, connection and understanding, a place where voices are heard, stories are shared, and the work of trauma-informed care is honoured.
