    After the Sirens — Episode 2: The Jaded Heart

    Some calls never really end. In this episode, retired firefighter, paramedic, and flight medic Cole Tanner talks about the crash that changed everything — and what it taught him about compassion fatigue, anger, and finding purpose again. It’s not about the motorcycle. It’s about the slow damage we don’t notice until it’s too late — and learning to keep showing up anyway. 📖 Psalm 73:26 (NLT) — “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.” 🎧 Music generated by Mubert — https://mubert.com/render 🎙 New episodes Thursdays at 4 PM ET
