In this podcast, we will be talking about all the subjects that we tip toe around in society. We’re going to chat about the controversial, the censored, and the taboo. I’ve invited guests to talk with me about their most intimate stories, in an effort to demystify these subjects, and humanize their experience. Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or Spotify and I’d love your 5-Star rating and review.

Jeff is a 30 year veteran of emergency services. Having worked as a paramedic and in the Emergency Room, he is all too familiar with life as a first responder. Unfortunately, this career path had the unimaginable side effect of PTSD. Jeff has suffered from visions, panic, depression, and more. He takes us through the early days of his working life and a few particular calls that really rocked his world. Most of all, he helps us understand what we can do now for our fellow humans.
The statistics I referenced came from a study done by the Ruderman Family Foundation last year. Jeff references resources such as the Code Green Campaign and Psychology Today.
