    Lynnette Fritshaw: The Fire Within | Trauma, Truth, and Rising From Survival Mode

    Send us a text This unforgettable episode of W.A.R. We’re All Recovering is a raw conversation about resilience, identity, and the moment you stop surviving and start rising. Stryker sits down with retired career firefighter, trauma coach, and author Lynnette Fritshaw to talk about breaking barriers as the first female career firefighter in her hometown department, navigating bullying and discrimination inside a system that was anything but welcoming, and how invisible injuries can shape your whole life. Lynnette shares what survival mode actually feels like, why trauma inside authority structures hits differently, and how healing begins when silence ends. From her memoir You’re On Your Own to her work through Fire Within Crisis Services and Phoenix Rising, this episode gets real about peer support, full body recovery, and the power of telling the truth. You don’t have a secret. You have a story. Connect with Lynnette Fritshaw https://www.firewithincrisisservices.com/book-online Connect with Stryker and the W.A.R.

    Hilary MomBerger Powers From Sally Brown to Scar Power: No Longer Leading With Your Wound

    Send us a text In this powerful and deeply honest episode of W.A.R. We’re All Recovering, host Stryker sits down with Hilary Momberger Powers for a raw conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, recovery, and the lifelong work of healing. Known to many as the childhood voice of Sally Brown from the Peanuts world, Hilary shares what life was really like behind the microphone. Growing up in an unsafe and controlling environment, she learned how to perform before she learned how to feel safe. This episode explores addiction, toxic relationships, self destruction, long term sobriety, inner child healing, and the shift from living as a wound to living as a scar. Hilary explains what it truly means to stop leading with your wound and how healing does not erase the past, but changes its meaning. With decades of sobriety and years spent mentoring women in recovery, Hilary offers hope to anyone struggling with shame, suicidal thoughts, addiction, or the belief that they are too broken to heal. This is not a celebrity interview. This is a recovery conversation. This is W.A.R. Topics include: • Childhood trauma and child stardom • Narcissistic family systems • Addiction and long term recovery • Inner child healing • Turning wounds into scars • Mentoring women in recovery • Mental health, shame, and hope Guest Links 🌐 Website: https://www.hilarymombergerpowers.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hilarymombergerpowers Official W.A.R. and Stryker Links ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@stryker11691 📅 Booking and Scheduling: https://calendly.com/thewarnetworkpodcast 🎵 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FmwlecHd0DsG4YusKHTQX 🎙️ Podbean RSS: https://feed.podbean.com/olaf11691/feed.xml 🎙️ Buzzsprout RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2534988.rss 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w.a.r.network 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarnetwork 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MR.STRAKER 📧 Contact: thewarnetworkpodcast@gmail.com Crisis Support If this episode brings up difficult emotions or thoughts of self harm, please reach out for support.
