WhatMakesUsFire
WhatMakesUsFire is more than a podcast—it's a powerful exploration into the hearts and minds of Firefighters, Civil Service Members, and Active/Retired Military Personnel, as well as everyone who stands beside them. We go beyond the uniforms and titles to uncover the deep-rooted drive that compels these extraordinary individuals to sacrifice themselves for others, even when every single one of them is uniquely different.
In each episode, we’ll dive into their personal stories, values, struggles, and triumphs, revealing what truly fuels their fire. And we’re not just talking about the physical demands of the job—we're tackling the real, raw, and often hidden side of their mental health. We will not shy away from it. In fact, we are committed to shattering the stigma around mental health and speaking openly and unapologetically about it.
Join us as we take the first step toward breaking down the walls, opening up the conversation, and making mental health ok to talk about—for those who serve, and for everyone who supports them.
