    Paramedic and Fire Captain Ryan Esparza - From Angry to Happy

    Ryan Espanza worked as a military firefighter, a private ambulance 911 paramedic and is now a Fire Captain with the Suisun Fire Department. He became angry with a short fuse, ready to knuckle up all the time. He started working two jobs around the clock to keep from feeling the crap inside. Once he finally broke and began to deal with the pain that he didn't even know he had, he lives a life full of gratitude and is present for those he loves and for a job he loves. We talk about how our childhoods affect our lives and careers, how being an ALS 911 transport paramedic is on of the hardest and most thankless jobs out there. We talk about how he made this transformation and how you can too. You can find Ryan: emtp187@gmail.com  TikTok @yaktosacnback Heart Strings Counseling

    Nicki Impastato - The First Responder Life Total Package

    This episode is with the amazing Nicki Impastato! Nicki and I sit down and talk about her life working as a dispatcher while raising two kids with her Battalion Chief husband. And then we talk about doing all this while struggling with PTSD. Nicki also worked in a system that didn’t know what to do with her when she started struggling. She says, “There was something seriously wrong with me, and they knew about it, and nobody took care of me.” We so often depend on those around us to point out that we are struggling because sometimes we cannot see what is going on around us when we are just trying to survive. Nicki also talks about finding a life and purpose after a long career as a dispatcher. One place she landed was in an equine therapy program called Zenerosity and she became an equine specialist. This woman is truly amazing - I promise you will feel better about everything after listening to her. nickii@me.com Zenerosity Equine Therapy Christy's article about Equine Therapy at Zenerosity Christy's Website and Link to book Flash Point: A Firefighter's Journey Through PTSD

    FF Egan de los Colbos: How PTSD can manifest into physical illness

    Veteran firefighter Egan DeLosCobos sits down with the firefighter deconstructed and talks about how the body holds on to stress and what happens to our bodies if we don’t deal with it. Egan and his 3 year old son somehow survived a crazy car accident and although they both walked away with only a few bumps and bruises, the stress of it all ended up attacking Egan’s body. After going round and round with doctors, he finally learned that the key to becoming healthy again was to deal with his PTSD. Using everything he’s learned, he is now a wellness coach making incredible impacts in people’s lives. @eganfirstwellness (Instagram) www.firstwellnesshealth.com (Website) @EganFirstWellnessHealthCoach (YouTube)

    Former Firefighter James Geering Now Fights For Your Wellbeing

    Pirate to stuntman to paramedic/firefighter to podcaster and back to stuntman. He’s traveled and worked around the world. He saw the fire culture's damaging effects on its members and that with becoming a single parent, he decided to choose his son over finishing his career. I find this very brave as so many of us say we would choose our family/kids over anything in the world, being a firefighter fulfills a deep need we have that the fear of leaving the job is too overwhelming. I remember wondering who in the hell leaves this job by choice? It’s almost like I didn’t even know that was possible. James shows what a firefighter who grew up learning good coping skills looks like versus those of us who grew up just trying to survive as a kid and are still currently using coping mechanisms that just don’t serve us anymore as adults. We talk about sleep deprivation, and what the fire service needs to do to make us healthier and have better longevity on the job. jamesgeering.com Behind The Shield Podcast One More Light By James Geering
