  • Shielded Voices: Part 1: Leanne, The Weight Behind the Badge #028
    Jun 1 2025

    In the first installment of this three-part series, Leanne shares her powerful journey through law enforcement — beginning with her roots in a law enforcement family and continuing through her own path from personal trainer to officer. She opens up about the challenges of early training, the pressure of tough coaching, and the internal battles around identity and resilience.

    This episode also explores the emotional weight carried by families in the profession — including the complexities of parenting, the cost of unprocessed trauma, and the need for honest, compassionate support systems both at home and in the field. Leanne speaks with vulnerability about the importance of integrity in relationships and the healing power of community.

  • Shielded Voices: Part 2: Angela Graham and The SIREN Project #027
    May 18 2025

    In Part 2 of our conversation with Angela Graham, we pick up where we left off—crossing the border into Mexico for a psychedelic journey that would change everything.

    Angela shares what happened after she took that leap into the unknown: the inner battles, the healing breakthroughs, and the raw reckoning with pain she had spent years suppressing. This episode dives deep into her experience with alternative therapies, the emotional unraveling that led to clarity, and how it ignited the vision for The SIREN Project.

    It’s a powerful reminder that healing often looks nothing like we expect—and that sometimes, the most courageous thing we can do is let go.

    If you’ve ever felt broken, stuck, or like the old way just isn’t working anymore, this one’s for you.

  • Shielded Voices: Part 1: Angela Graham and The SIREN Project #026
    May 6 2025

    Before she co-founded The SIREN Project, Angela Graham was a firefighter, a medic, a mother—and completely falling apart. In Part One of this raw and honest two-part series, Angela opens up about the years of trauma, burnout, and breakdowns that nearly ended everything. From holding it together on the outside to crumbling behind closed doors, she shares what it looked like to lose herself in the job, in the pain, and in silence.

    This episode is a gut check for anyone who's ever wondered, "What happens when I can't keep doing this anymore?"

    Angela’s story is not just about pain—it’s about the moment she said “enough,” booked a one-way ticket to San Diego, and got in a van with strangers to cross the border into something completely unexpected: healing.
