Paramedic AF Dan and Michelle

You know those conversations you just can't seem to get out of?
This episode is about those. :)
 
(Note: We apologize for the unpredictable static that occasionally pops up. from roughly 11min to 13 min there is intermittent static that we can't fix. But we tried to clean up the audio as much as we could so you can still hear everything just fine!)

You just need to listen to it. :)
No, really, go listen to it. Hand your feelings a tissue. And go live better when you're done listening. :)

Our core values:
Clinical discipline
Personal wellness
Authentic leadership
Rigorous accountability
Our vision is: the creation of a culture of healthy, educated, and effective providers that are striving to better themselves and our entire profession.

Mental health is complex. And especially in public service, mental health is a gaping hole that we only explore the top tier that we can see, and too often we overlook those who are suffering on the bottom that don't seem to have a way up. Our glorification of constant stress, lack of sleep, and mediocre personal lives, are actually far more dangerous in the long run than most of us imagine.

We all have bad days. When shit just doesn't feel right, go right, or sit right. When you're alone with the dark corners of your mind.
And it's ok. You'll be ok. This too shall pass. And we will carry on.

Are you past the honeymoon phase of your relationship with EMS? Are you feeling neglected? Were you wanting something more than a cool shirt and a nice memo?
Well, Michelle delivers a potent message about how EMS week should become a highlight of year-long mutual appreciation and investment, not an obligatory checklist. Hang on for the ride, Lindas!
