Myrna McCallum


Myrna McCallum is a Cree and Métis facilitator, speaker, and the founder of  LoveBack — an evolving body of work rooted in Indigenous liberation, offering programs and spaces that support learning, growth, healing, and community.

With a background in law and years of experience working at the intersection of justice, trauma, and systems harm, Myrna is known for creating spaces where honesty, reflection, and meaningful conversation can take place. Her work challenges surface-level approaches to change, inviting people to look more deeply at the patterns, experiences, and systems that shape how they move through the world. Myrna is the creator and host of the trauma-informed lawyer podcast and the Justice as Trauma conference, where she convenes diverse voices to explore how harm is experienced and reproduced — and what is required to respond with accountability and care.

Across her trainings, retreats, and gatherings, Myrna’s work bridges Indigenous worldviews with contemporary practices, demonstrating that leadership, justice and healing can be both accountable and compassionate when grounded in relationships, responsibility, and shared humanity.

Myrna is currently working on her first memoir-manifesto.

Mission Statement

“My mission is to transform justice through trauma-informed, racially just and culturally responsive leadership, Indigenous wisdom, and deep collective healing. I am committed to creating brave, restorative spaces—whether in courtrooms, classrooms, or retreat settings—where frontline professionals, lawyers, leaders, justice workers, and Indigenous communities can reconnect with their purpose, recover from systemic harm, and reimagine a world rooted in empathy, dignity, and liberation. Through public speaking, education, storytelling, and immersive experiences, I aim to ignite a global movement that honours truth, reimagines justice, and helps to heal intergenerational & institutional wounds.”
