Sirens, Slammers and Service - A podcast for Female First Responders
As a former correctional officer in Alberta for almost 2 decades and the founder of Blue Line Fitness Testing which provides law enforcement fitness testing and wellness workshops, I started this podcast as a way for female first responders to be able to share their stories including the trials, tribulations and triumphs of their daily work. Our episodes cover female correctional officers and caseworkers, military personnel, female paramedics, firefighters and dispatchers, as well as feature female Edmonton Police Service officers, drug dog handlers and female tactical team members. I want to showcase the unique perspectives, skill sets and personalities that women bring to a first responder career and work to encourage more women to apply for these careers and step up to learn more about what we do.

Did you know that your body can hold onto trauma long after a stressful or traumatic event has passed? In this episode of Sirens, Slammers, and Service, we sit down with Dr. Jolene Gough, a chiropractor with nearly 20 years of experience, to break down the science behind how the body stores trauma and the critical role the parasympathetic nervous system plays in recovery.
Dr. Gough shares eye-opening insights into how first responders, frontline workers, and anyone facing high-stress situations can better support their bodies through movement, breathwork, and hands-on therapy. We also dive into practical strategies to reset your nervous system and release the tension that can build up over years of service.
🔥 How does trauma physically manifest in the body? What can you do today to start the healing process? And why is it so important to address physical stress before it turns into long-term damage?
🎧 Tune in now and learn how to take back control of your physical and mental well-being. And if you know someone who could benefit from this conversation, share this episode with them! 💙
