First responder PTSD doesn’t always look dramatic. Very often it's bad sleep, isolation, snapping at the people you love, and the feeling that something is wrong even when you can’t explain it.

In this episode, I sit down with former RCMP officer and founder of Project Life Spark Jeremy Hudec.

We talk about what years of frontline policing really did to his mind, body, family, and sense of identity. 

Jeremy shares how burnout, trauma exposure, lack of support, and institutional betrayal built up over time ... and how things eventually spiraled into depression, suicidal thoughts, disconnection at home, and the belief that this was just how life was going to feel forever.

We also get into what changed after he found a different path, how he started making sense of the guilt and pain he carried for years, and why he came home with a renewed sense of purpose. 

That purpose eventually became Project Life Spark, a nonprofit working to help Canadian veterans and first responders access deeper healing and real support.
