On this episode of the And Now I Know Podcast, I sit down with Fire Captain Elizabeth McCormick of the St. Louis Fire Department for a powerful conversation about discipline, fear, femininity, and what it really means to be a strong woman.

Elizabeth made history in 2017 as the first woman to graduate from the St. Louis Fire Academy in nearly a decade, and in 2026 she was part of a historic moment when five Black women were promoted to the rank of Captain at the same time in the department’s 150+ year history.

In this episode, we talk about what it takes to pursue a career in a field that demands strength and leadership while still protecting your femininity, identity, and personal growth. Elizabeth also shares how facing fear, witnessing life and death, and building discipline shaped the woman she is today.

This conversation is honest, insightful, and full of perspective for anyone navigating purpose, resilience, and what it means to show up fully as yourself.
