    E39: Successful Recovery, Alcoholism, and Aggressive Truths

    Addiction is a complex issue that many face, and often the approaches to treatment can feel too soft or ineffective. If you’re searching for a more direct method to tackle addiction issues, you’re in the right place. In this discussion, we’ll explore tough love strategies that can make a real difference for those struggling with addiction. We’ll also delve into why these methods resonate and how they can lead to better outcomes. Dr Robb Kelly has accomplished something most never think will happen for them. He started by digging himself out of an early grave that he drank himself into, by first investing in himself, then investing everything in everyone else needing this same help.  It was a great conversation and thank you Dr Robb for coming on the show. Always a pleasure.  Robb Kelly Recovery Group Instagram @Addiction_Doctor Website now up!- yep and we have merch! TRIGGER WARNING should be assumed with all episodes.

    E37: 🚨PTSD911 Movie, Helping the Caregivers, and Leadership's Responsibility

    Tess sits down with Conrad Weaver to unpack what it truly takes to protect the longevity, mental health, and sanity of first responders working one of the most psychologically demanding career paths imaginable. Together, they dive into why leadership must make a real investment in the people behind the badge, sirens, and uniforms—and how departments can do better before burnout, trauma, and isolation take their toll. First responders are routinely exposed to the darkest moments humanity has to offer. While the average person may experience only a handful of traumatic incidents in their lifetime, many first responders will witness hundreds—sometimes more than 800—over the course of their careers. Those numbers are staggering, and they come with a cost that can no longer be ignored. That reality is exactly why Conrad viewed the PTSD911 project as one of the most important works of his career. His passion for changing the culture surrounding mental health in emergency services is powerful and deeply inspiring. Even without a personal stake in the profession, he recognized a critical need and committed himself to creating awareness, sparking conversation, and helping drive a movement focused on supporting the mental wellness of the people who spend their lives protecting everyone else.

    E36 🚨Police Podcasting, Rookie Advice, and Are You Good?

    This week we talk to Mike from Caffeinated Trauma, a police podcaster out of Austin, Texas. We delve into the motivations for podcasting and what is his current driving force. Podcasting while being an active law enforcement officer is rare so it was interesting to hear how he navigates it. We also talk about our common topic, police mental health. Although police agencies and first responders are lightyears ahead of where they were decades ago, there is still a long way to go to build a better future for cops in the mental health realm. Mike is doing what he can with his podcast to facilitate the discussion which will hopefully lead to a more informed future. And at the end of the day, all we can do is what we can before passing the torch to the next generation to improve upon.  If you are interested in Mike's podcast, you can find him on Apple and Spotify under Caffeinated Trauma. If you want to follow his socials, go to Caffeinated Trauma on Instagram where he posts clips of his current/future episodes.  Website now up!- yep and we have merch!
