Carolyn Forde joins us on the podcast to share about her long career in EMS, which began right after high school. She openly discusses how over time the calls she was responding to began to add up and how that affected her. Carolyn also shares about using alcohol to cope with those duty traumas, how loosing a close friend and co-worker to suicide caused her to reevaluate her circumstances and behaviors, how she eventually sought help, began on a personal journey of recovery, and what she does today to help other first responders who are still suffering.
