    Leading the Brave Way: Mental Health, Courage, and Culture with Matt Davis

    Send us a text Let’s not pretend. Leading is hard! Especially when you’re carrying your own scars. In this episode, I sit down with Matt Davis, a law enforcement leader and former crisis negotiator who’s walked through the fire and lived to talk about it. We get honest about mental health in law enforcement. The kind that sneaks up on you, fills your bucket drop by drop, until you’re drowning and nobody else can see it. Matt doesn’t sugarcoat his story. He talks about asking for help before hitting rock bottom, the messiness of relationships, and what it’s like to feel like an imposter even when everyone else thinks you’ve got it together. We talk boundaries. The kind you set for yourself, not to keep people out, but to keep yourself whole. We talk about leadership that’s more than rules and rank. We talk about leadership that’s about showing up, being real, and building trust, even when it’s uncomfortable. This is a conversation about the real work: facing your own pain, owning your story, and finding the courage to lead yourself first. Matt shares what he’s learned from crisis negotiation, from heartbreak, and from rebuilding his life one honest conversation at a time. Let’s talk about what it means to lead the brave way. No bullshit. Just truth, heart, and hope. Connect With Matt Davis on Linked In HERE DISCLAIMER: After the Tones Drop has been presented and sponsored by Whole House Counseling.

    The Stitcher: Weaving Together the Threads of Healing

    Send us a text Healing isn’t some mysterious thing that happens “out there”; it’s built into who you are. In this solo episode, I talk about what I call The Stitcher: the part I play and how our body is always working to repair, reset, and bring us back to balance. From my first set of stitches as a kid to the way our nervous system cries, sighs, and sleeps to restore itself, I share how healing shows up in everyday life—and why sometimes we need a little help bringing the edges together. Therapy, support, and even tools like ART don’t “fix” us. They create the conditions for our bodies and brains to do the healing they’re already wired for. You are not broken... just wounded. And with the right support, you can mend. DISCLAIMER: After the Tones Drop has been presented and sponsored by Whole House Counseling.

    Dr. Eugene Lipov Is Transforming Trauma Care with Stella Ganglion Block (SGB)

    Send us a text What if PTSD wasn’t a life sentence? In part two of my conversation with Dr. Eugene Lipov, we go deeper into what he calls PTSI—Post-Traumatic Stress Injury and the breakthrough treatment that’s changing lives around the world: the Stellate Ganglion Block, better known as the “God Shot.” Dr. Lipov doesn’t just share the science. He brings real stories from first responders, military families, and trauma survivors who’ve found hope when nothing else worked. We talk honestly about the barriers, like insurance, stigma, and a system that still resists change, and why advocacy matters more than ever. This episode also dives into the bigger picture and shares his opinions on treatments like ketamine and psychedelics, the importance of trauma-informed leadership, and what it will take to finally build a culture where healing is possible for everyone. You’ll also hear about Dr. Lipov’s upcoming book, The God Shot, and how you can join the fight through his nonprofit, Erase PTSD Now. If you care about the future of mental health, first responder wellness, or you’re just looking for proof that better days are possible, then this one’s for you.
