About this listen
You swore to protect others — but when was the last time you checked in on yourself?
Brad Schriefer, a third-generation firefighter and mental health advocate, shares his raw journey through trauma, peer support, and post-traumatic growth. With over two decades in the service, Brad brings gritty honesty and real solutions to the emotional weight we carry.
This isn’t about being soft. It’s about staying strong enough to show up tomorrow.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why “it’s okay to not be okay — but not okay to stay not okay” hits harder than you think
- How to spot the early signs that your crew (or you) are going sideways
- Simple ways to make mental fitness part of academy training
- Why peer support isn't a buzzword — it's a lifeline
- How to finally deal with your shit before it spills into your next shift
If you’re a firefighter who wants to lead from the front — not just in fire, but in life — this one’s for you.
