About this listen

As first responders and veterans, we’re trained to survive chaos. We run toward the danger, hold the line, and keep moving — no matter what. But what happens when the crisis is over, and your body doesn’t get the message? What happens when the adrenaline never fully turns off?


In this episode, we explore the long-term impact of living in a constant state of fight-or-flight — and how that experience often leads to a silent, misunderstood reality: functional depression.


This isn’t about being weak. It’s about being human. And it’s time we start naming the weight we carry so we can begin to put it down.
