I remember I was once watching the Curious George cartoon with my son, and sure enough, there was the classic firefighter moment—rescuing a cat stuck in a tree. And while we all grew up seeing that scene play out in cartoons, firefighters are out here raising the stakes in real life. Case in point: this latest purr-fect rescue from Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue—where the cat wasn’t in a tree, but wedged inside a drain pipe. No ladder required, but probably just as much eye-rolling from the crew. Moral of the story? Firefighters don’t just save lives—they save nine of them. ?? ??

?? MIC DROP MOMENT FROM SEAN MCCALLUM ?? Read that again. ?? Too many first responders are carrying unprocessed trauma, wondering why they can’t just “get over it.” The truth? You can’t integrate something you refuse to acknowledge. And if you don’t understand why something hit you so hard, how can you possibly move past it? In our latest episode, Sean McCallum breaks down the real work behind mental resilience—understanding, accepting, and integrating the experiences that keep you stuck. ?????? ?? Listen now and take the first step toward getting out of your own way. ?? https://lnkd.in/gATTUvvX ??

?? NEW EPISODE ALERT! ?? ?? WHEN THE JOB TAKES OVER—HOW DO YOU TAKE YOURSELF BACK? ?? First responders wear their job titles like armor—firefighter, medic, cop. But what happens when that armor becomes your identity? In Part 1 of our powerful conversation with Sean McCallum, we dig into the mental toll of the job, why trauma isn’t always about the incident itself, and the struggle to shift from work mode to home life without losing yourself in the process. ??https://lnkd.in/gATTUvvX ?? LISTEN NOW to hear: ?? How your job can quietly consume who you are ?? Why trauma is more about unfulfilled intention than the event itself ?? The battle between work identity & personal identity ?? Insights from Sean’s children's book The Joy Thief—and how it teaches kids (and adults) to understand emotions ?? The real first responder mental health conversation you didn’t get in training ?? ?? ?? This one hits deep—DON’T MISS IT.

?? New Episode: It’s Not About You! ??? Taking things personally can wreak havoc on relationships—yet so many of us do it without even realizing it.

Why we feel the need to “fix” other people’s emotions ? How pushing for answers can backfire ? The power of giving people space instead of making it about us We get real—Erin puts herself on blast for learning this lesson in her own marriage, and Cinnamon confesses to rewriting the Laverne & Shirley theme song in her head. It’s raw, relatable, and packed with tough love and laughter. ?? Challenge of the Week: When someone’s upset but not ready to talk—don’t pry, don’t react, and don’t take it personally.
