    #14 - The Personal Price: Progress, Prevention, and the OPP

    In this episode, we sit down with Jason MacKenzie, the husband of OPP Constable Cindy MacKenzie, who died by suicide while serving. Rather than revisiting institutional failures of the past, this conversation focuses on institutional learning and progress. Jason reflects on the personal realities of loss, parenting, and survival, while also discussing recent outreach from the OPP and why this moment feels different from years prior. This is a forward-looking conversation about accountability, prevention, and the personal price families pay when systems evolve too slowly, and the impact that meaningful change can have when they finally do.

    Mind Over Fire: The Michael Laughlin Story (Part 2)

    Michael Laughlin had already fought his way back more than once, but then, a motorcycle accident changed everything again. In Part II of Mind Over Fire, Michael speaks candidly about the aftermath of losing his leg, the physical and emotional realities of starting over, and the slow work of redefining strength when the old measures no long apply. This episode moves beyond survival to explore partnership, fatherhood, and the day-to-day decisions that shape a meaningful life after trauma – without pretending the losses disappear.

    Mind Over Fire: The Michael Laughlin Story

    Early in his career, Kingston firefighter Michael Laughlin was seriously injured in a snowmobile accident that threatened not just his physical recovery, but his place in the fire service itself. In Part I of Mind Over Fire, Michael walks us through his younger years, the realities of recovering from a major injury in a profession built on strength and endurance, and the quiet pressure of proving himself while his body was still healing. This episode explores what happens when identity, purpose, and livelihood collide early on, and how resilience is shaped long before anyone is watching. You can reach Michael […]

    Shaun Taylor: Paramedic, Peer, and Purpose – The #IGYB911 Story

    Shaun Taylor is a working Ontario paramedic and the co-founder, alongside Jill Foster, of #IGYB911, one of Canada’s most recognizable and trusted grassroots peer support movements for first responders.

    The Night the Sky Turned Orange

    As Fire 52 intensified near Hay River in the Northwest Territories, evacuation orders were issued and Highway 2 became a narrow, smoke-filled corridor of stalled vehicles, poor visibility, and rapidly changing fire behaviour. In this mini-episode, Franco Nogarin, a Forest Planning Officer and Wildfire Modeller with the Government of the Northwest Territories, reads his unedited first-person account of that night. What unfolds is a moment-by-moment record of decision-making under pressure: interpreting fire behaviour through smoke, balancing training against instinct, managing family safety, and recognizing the point at which conditions cross from dangerous to untenable. This story will resonate with first […]

    Processing & Possibility

    In Part II of this deep and honest conversation, psychotherapist Brittnee Stewart takes us further inside the world of EMDR, low-dose ketamine work, and trauma integration. If you’ve ever wondered why certain therapies work when others don’t, or why first responders often hit a wall in traditional talk therapy, this episode pulls back the curtain. We explore the difference between recreational versus clinically supervised psychedelic use, why “set and setting” matter, and how trained practitioners keep clients safe. Brittnee explains how ketamine can temporarily soften protector parts (using IFS language) so that EMDR and trauma processing can finally move. She […]
