This isn't another motivational podcast.

This is where first responders come to rebuild the man/woman behind the badge.

The LEADme Podcast is built for those who have spent years showing up for everyone else...while silently carrying what nobody sees. We break down the mental weight, the identity shifts, and the patterns that keep you stuck. Even when you're performing at a high level.

Through real conversations, hard truths, and proven frameworks, this podcast walks you through the process of identifying who you have become...and stepping back into who you were built to be.

Because leadership doesn't start on the fireground

It starts from within.

I created the LEADme Series to give first responders a framework for self leadership, mental health and identity work that is centered on real life experiences in first responding. I am a 25 year veteran of the fire service and I am dedicated to helping first responders in their mental health journey. As a survivor of PTSD and my own identity struggles with first responding work, I know first hand what it feels like to struggle. My mission now is to not let any first responder feel like they are alone. There is a pathway to crating a better life. I create the LEADme series to do just that.

We don't hesitate. We call it. But when we are internally buried and struggling, we don't transmit the mayday and call for help. This will be a long standing topic on this channel. We must do better at asking for help when we need it.
