Who Judges The Judge? Hosted By Jordana H. Goldlist
Jordana H. Goldlist spent her teens as a homeless, high school dropout; a junkie fully entrenched in street life by 17 years old. Today, she runs a boutique criminal law firm, owns property, invests in the market, and travels the world. She built the life she has today by recognizing and using skills she developed during the most trying times of her life, and she believes that some of the most successful people are those that find their strength through struggle and adversity. In “Who Judges The Judge?”, named after her TEDx Talk, Jordana invites listeners to explore the untold stories and unexpected backgrounds of her guests, all successful and productive individuals who have overcome adversity and the stigmas that society attaches to those of us who side step the status quo. From reformed criminals to the falsely accused, from former addicts to refugees escaping war and poverty, each episode will feature an individual who defies stereotypes and expectations and will navigate difficult conversations to highlight the personal journey of each guest.
Jordana’s unique perspective, grounded in her own tumultuous past but developed over a 15 year career in criminal justice, adds authenticity and depth to the conversation. Please join Jordana on “Who Judges The Judge?” a podcast that challenges both guests and listeners to question the way we judge ourselves, others, and the world at large.

Audrey Hyams Romoff: How Childhood Trauma Changes DNA
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Audrey Hyams Romoff's mother was one of the youngest children to survive the Auschwitz concentration camp, liberated at just 8 years old — and that childhood trauma shaped four generations of women in ways Audrey never fully understood until decades later.
Audrey Hyams Romoff is the founder of Overcat PR and author of The Ripple Eclipse, a memoir tracing four generations of women in her family and the inherited trauma that runs through all of them. She recently traveled to Auschwitz with PBS NewsHour for the 80th anniversary of its liberation.
She explains:
- How profound childhood trauma can physically alter your DNA — and be passed to your children and grandchildren (epigenetics)
- Why her mother's Holocaust survival made Audrey's most ordinary life decisions feel like abandonment to her
- What Audrey found when she opened boxes of her parents' belongings years after their deaths — and the 127-page unedited interview transcript that changed how she understood her mother
- Why she doesn't believe in closure — and why "livable" might be the most honest goal anyone can have after profound loss
- How compartmentalization can be both a survival tool and a trap that prevents healing
