Justice Interrupted is a podcast for anyone who believes children deserve better—and survivors deserve justice. Hosted by Ben Andreozzi, a prominent victim's attorney, and nationally recognized victim advocate Jennifer Storm, this show confronts the failures of systems meant to protect children and amplifies the voices of those working to change them.

Each episode explores the realities of child sexual abuse, institutional cover-ups, and the power of civil litigation as a tool for healing and accountability. Through interviews with survivors, attorneys, advocates, and experts, Justice Interrupted offers unflinching conversations, real-world strategies, and hope for change.

Drawing on decades of experience in the legal system and trauma-informed advocacy, Ben and Jen cut through legal jargon and media noise to deliver compassionate, practical insights for survivors and those who support them.

Whether you're a survivor, an advocate, or someone who wants to be part of the solution, Justice Interrupted invites you to listen, learn, and take action.

Because justice delayed is justice interrupted—and it's time we changed that.

    Dr. Daniela Schiller: Understanding Trauma Through Neuroscience
    23 Oct 2026
    Trauma can change how memories are formed, stored, and recalled, challenging common assumptions about how survivors should remember and describe their experiences. In this episode, Dr. Daniela Schiller explains the neuroscience behind traumatic memory, why recall can be fragmented, and how research offers hope for changing the emotional impact of trauma.In this episode, Ben, Jennifer, and Dr. Daniela Schiller discuss:The brain’s response to fear, threat, and traumatic experiencesWhy traumatic memories differ from ordinary memoriesWhat neuroscience reveals about survivor behavior in legal settingsMemory reconsolidation and the potential for healingKey Takeaways:[0:12:39] Trauma memories do not follow ordinary expectations of recall — Survivors may remember sensory details vividly while struggling to recall dates, locations, sequences, or peripheral details of an event.[0:15:14] Gaps in traumatic memory should not automatically discredit survivors — Schiller explains that fragmented recall and missing details can be consistent with traumatic memory, and should not automatically be treated as evidence of dishonesty.[0:21:52] Trauma treatment can work with the brain’s capacity for change — Exposure therapy, emotional regulation, and research into memory reconsolidation offer different approaches to reducing trauma responses, though treatments based on reconsolidation remain a work in progress.[0:30:37] Healing can change a memory’s emotional impact without erasing it — The memory remains, but its emotional intensity and the distress associated with recalling it can become more manageable over time. "The fact that you don't remember a date and where it happened, and everything is fragmented, and you actually have like black holes - it's exactly the evidence that something happened." — Dr. Daniela Schiller About Dr. Daniela Schiller: Dr. Daniela Schiller is a Professor in Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Friedman Brain Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research focuses on emotional learning, memory, and social cognition. Her work explores the neural mechanisms of threat learning and traumatic memories, how imagination can modify emotional memories, and how the brain tracks affective states and social relationships. A Fulbright Fellow and Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow, Dr. Schiller has received numerous honors, including the Blavatnik Award and the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in the Neurosciences.Connect with Dr. Daniela Schiller: Website: https://labs.neuroscience.mssm.edu/project/schiller-lab/Email: daniela.schiller@mssm.eduConnect with Ben Andreozzi: Website: https://www.victimscivilattorneys.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AndreozziandFoote/videosLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/andreozziandfoote/X/Twitter: https://x.com/AndreozziFooteFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AndreozziFoote/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreozziandfoote/Connect with Jennifer Storm:Website: https://jenniferstorm.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackoutgirlauthor/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenniferStormAuthor/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXAP8AOfFrlRq-DYCLBSYbAAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Lakeydra Houston: The Barriers Survivors Face in the Military
    9 Oct 2026

In this episode, Lakeydra Houston shares her experience as a survivor and advocate while examining military culture, accountability, civilian oversight, trauma-informed support, and the need for systemic change.In this episode, Ben, Jennifer, and Lakeydra Houston discuss:The culture surrounding military sexual traumaFinding support beyond the military systemThe role of advocacy in creating changeWhat accountability could mean for survivors and institutionsKey Takeaways:[0:03:29] Reporting can carry serious personal and professional risks — Survivors may face retaliation, threats to their careers and benefits, reputational damage, and pressure to remain silent after reporting sexual abuse.[0:06:55] Reporting systems can undermine survivor safety — Commanders may learn survivors’ names through legal advisors despite reporting options intended to limit disclosure.[0:13:47] Trauma-informed training is needed in military response systems — Lakeydra describes victim shaming from law enforcement and security forces and advocates for better training on what survivors experience and how to connect them with appropriate resources.[0:16:51] Civil accountability could create greater transparency and prevention — Civil cases against governmental actors could expose institutional failures, hold those who enable abuse accountable, and create a safer environment for service members."The military system is to protect the military's image. It's not to protect survivors." — Lakeydra Houston About Lakeydra Houston: Lakeydra Houston is a Veteran Commissioner, Social Impact Strategist, speaker, and award-winning advocate dedicated to creating stronger systems for veterans, survivors, and under-resourced communities.

    2 Oct 2026
    National Recovery Month is an opportunity to recognize that recovery is real and possible, especially for survivors whose substance use may have developed as a way of coping with trauma.In this solo episode, Jennifer Storm shares her own experience with childhood sexual abuse and long-term recovery while exploring trauma, substance use, healthy coping mechanisms, treatment, and hope.In this episode, Jennifer discusses:The connection between sexual trauma and substance useReplacing harmful coping mechanisms with healthy tools for recoveryTrauma therapy and the work of building long-term recoveryBreaking stigma and creating hope through connection and supportKey Takeaways:[0:03:42] Trauma can shape how survivors cope with overwhelming emotions — Survivors may turn to substances, food, sex, shopping, compulsive exercise, or other behaviors when they lack the tools and resources to process the effects of trauma.[0:06:09] Harmful coping mechanisms need healthy replacements — Substance use can become a survival mechanism for managing trauma, making it important to build other ways of coping rather than simply removing the behavior.[0:09:18] Healing trauma is part of sustaining long-term recovery — Therapy, writing, meditation, exercise, vulnerability, and learning to process difficult emotions helped Jennifer develop healthier ways to respond to trauma and its triggers.[0:16:10] Recovery becomes more possible through connection and support — Asking what support looks like, providing resources, and staying connected can help people move toward recovery without judgment, one step at a time."We should welcome progress without deciding that the work is finished because it's not." — Jennifer StormResources Mentioned:FindTreatment.gov for substance use treatment and support in the United States988 for immediate emotional crisis supportBlackout Girl, Jennifer Storm’s memoir about her experience and recovery: https://jenniferstorm.com/book/blackout-girl/About Jennifer Storm: Jennifer Storm is an international public speaker with over twenty years of experience in non-profit management and governmental relations.
