Episode 066: The Harsh Truth about Mental Illness and Suicide, Through the Eyes of a First Responder with Benjamin Flake
This isn’t the fluffy, heart filled episode that makes us feel good. This is the real and raw episode that is needed to spoken to.
Ben, an ex-military, ex-police officer now firefighter/first responder, leans in to the realness of being in this industries and the dynamics of the life he has seen.
We lean into PTSD and stress in this industries.
We talk about purpose and serving humanity with a mission.
We talk about how we all have choices and being a better human also means looking out for others.
His mission in these aspects has helped him to grow as a man, as a member of a community, in his work but also in his pursuit with his purpose in life (which he is still figuring out… aren’t we all)
It’s a pure, raw and real convo that you might want to avoid, but I am encouraging you to listen in, there is so much here to unpack.
Xo Love and Light
Ben was raised in a devout Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) household with both parents and four brothers.
He joined the Marine Corps Reserve as a tanker in 2008 (never deployed).
He served an LDS mission to the Boston area and became a law enforcement officer in 2013.
He was involved in an officer involved shooting in 2014 which changed the way he saw his career at the time.
He switched from law enforcement to a career fire/ems department in 2021.
He lost a former supervisor and good friend in Law Enforcement to suicide in 2021 which has opened him up to speak about suicide awareness.
He married in 2016, divorced in 2019 and currently reside in Casper WY.
