Megan Hottman’s story is one of passion, resilience, and transformation. She discovered her love for cycling during law school, eventually becoming a professional cyclist. But her journey didn’t stop there. Megan transitioned into law, focusing on representing injured cyclists. This career path exposed her to the harsh realities of trauma, crash scenes, and loss, which began to take a psychological toll on her.
In this episode of the 'I Am Driven Podcast', Megan opens up about the secondary trauma that many professionals—like journalists, attorneys, and first responders—face in their line of work. Despite receiving little training on how to cope with such experiences, Megan's insights offer a beacon of hope for those grappling with similar challenges. Hosted by Dr.
