Breaking the Stigma - First Responders and Mental Health Jasmin Peach

Join me in this incredible conversation with Derrick McManus. He served 42 years as a Police Officer and speaks about an incident where he was shot in the line of duty not once but fourteen times. It is bloody incredible that he is with us here today! Not only do we speak about this incident, but the power of preparation, mindset and understanding of the brutal sides that the job may carry with it. 

Join me in this Episode where I have a close friend of mine to come on the podcast to Interview me. I recently realised that many of you may not know the journey that I, myself, have been on and why I am doing this. In this episode we talk about my own experience as a First Responder and the reasons that I ended up leaving. I have healed from this journey, and I am not looking for any sympathy OR hate from what we talk about! Just creating an awareness. So please enjoy!

Join me in this very interesting conversation with Stacey Webb. Stacey enlightens listeners on her own journey as a Police Officer and how she is now an Intuitive Trauma Release mentor.

Join me in this amazing conversation with Helen Rose. In this conversation Helen opens up and talks about the experience that caused her PTSD, how she worked through it, and now how she is making a difference in the community. This story gave me chills, but it is also quite shocking.. please be gentle with yourself when listening and take time if it triggers you. 

Join me in this incredible conversation with Sergeant Andrew Goldsmith (or Goldy) as we speak about his experience with PTSD.
