First Responders TOP PODCAST!

ATTD is a must for all first responders to stay on task with their mental health awareness. Cinnamon and Erin have a way of keeping it relatable and just when you think it might be getting too heavy, they lighten it up just the way you’d expect in this industry. Thank you both for taking such great care of us. 🐋💙

When all is lost, listen to this podcast ❤️‍🩹

This podcast gives insight to what first responders/first responder families go through and how to deal with and process it in healthy ways. Mental health is something we all need to value and take care of especially in the first responder world. Cinnamon and Erin do a wonderful job at breaking down walls in a way that doesn’t even make it sound like you’re listening to therapists. It is more like two humorous ladies whose passion and love for this community is shown in every single episode. Thank you for all you do ladies - you help in more ways than you know! ❤️

Nothing short of amazing

I’m a first responder who has been looking into keeping myself “mentally well”. It’s like going to the doctor for a check up. These episodes help me recognize things that I feel before it becomes a huge issue. There are a lot of confusing concepts that mental health professionals use but this podcasts explains it all so I can totally understand it!! Thanks ladies for putting it all in plain language where I can apply it while keeping it FUN!
