Becky has spent over six years working directly with law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, and military service members—men and women trained to run toward danger while carrying trauma home in silence.

This is not a surface-level conversation or clinical lecture.

We cut through clichés and buzzwords to talk about what real support looks like for those in uniform, why so many first responders struggle to ask for help, and why trust, presence, and cultural understanding matter more than credentials alone.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Mental health challenges facing first responders and military

• Why traditional therapy often misses the mark

• The culture gap between civilians and those who serve

• Becky’s journey into emergency responder psychology

• The mission behind Holding Space for Heroes

• How responders can address trauma without losing identity, strength, or purpose

This conversation is about respect, responsibility, and showing up the right way for the people who protect others.

If you’re a first responder, veteran, family member, or someone who supports these communities, this episode matters.
