RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines episodes

  • The Financial Trauma No-One Talks About

    🔥 NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED!

    🎙 RISEUP Phoenix: Voices From the

    Frontlines: RISEUP Responder Edition
    EPISODE: The Financial Trauma No One Talks About — First Responders in Survival Mode

    We talk about trauma after the calls.
    But what about the trauma happening between the shifts?
    The one sitting at your kitchen table, staring back at you from overdue bills, second jobs, and financial stress that never really shuts off.

    In this episode, we’re pulling the curtain back on the financial

    trauma that silently erodes responder wellness, from multiple jobs to
    impulse control, adrenaline addiction, and the chronic nervous system
    Dysregulation hiding behind the badge.

    🧠 This is the conversation most programs

    are still too uncomfortable to have — but it needs to happen.

    🎯 If you're ready to address ALL the weight

    You're carrying — not just the operational trauma — book your private call with Krista Fee

  • Beyond Trauma Informed: The Leadership Gap No One's Talking About

    🎙 RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines: RISEUP Coaching Academy
    Beyond Trauma-Informed: The Leadership Gap No One's Talking About

    We keep hearing the term “trauma-informed” everywhere. But

    too often, it stops at surface-level awareness.

    🧠 Real trauma work requires something

    deeper.
    It requires skill.
    It requires embodied leadership.
    It requires the ability to operate inside real human dysregulation — not just
    talk about it after the fact.

    In this episode, we’re going straight into why Applied

    Trauma Leadership needs to become the standard — and how most
    practitioners, coaches, peer leaders, and even therapists are being set up to
    fail by not receiving the training they actually need.

    If you're leading, coaching, or supporting trauma-impacted

    communities, this conversation is mission-critical.

    🎧 Listen now and join the resilience revolution.

  • The Quiet Collapse: RISEUP RESPONDER


    RISEUP Voices From the Frontlines
    The Quiet Collapse: When High-Functioning First Responders Break Behind Closed Doors

    They look fine.

    They’re getting the job done.
    They’re still showing up.
    And yet… many first responders are breaking. Quietly. Privately. After the
    shift ends.

    We don’t talk enough about what happens when

    high-functioning survival turns into silent collapse.

    In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on:

    *Nervous system overload after years of holding it together

    *Why functioning is not the same as healing

    *The cultural silence that keeps responders isolated

    *The real cost of staying operational for too long

    This one isn’t easy.

    But it’s one every responder, spouse, leader, and mental health professional
    needs to hear.

    🎧 Listen now.

    Share it with your team.
    Have the conversation before the collapse happens.

  • When Praise Becomes Pressure: KidSAFE Building Blocks

    RISEUP Voices From the Frontlines
    When Praise Becomes Pressure

    A KidSAFE Building Blocks Kids episode


    We all want to encourage our kids.

    But what happens when praise becomes performance?
    When “You’re so mature” turns into “You’re not allowed to struggle”?
    When achievement becomes the only language for love?

    In this episode, we explore how well-intended compliments

    can accidentally teach kids to silence their emotions, overfunction, and hide
    when they need help most.

    If you’ve ever called a student or your own child “the

    strong one”… this episode is for you.

    Let’s raise kids who are free to be whole, not just

    impressive.
    Listen now and share it with every parent, teacher, coach, or caregiver in your
    life.

  • The Silence Before the Spiral

    Title: The Silence Before the Spiral
    Theme: KidSAFE™ / Children’s Resilience

    Some children don’t scream.

    Some don’t act out.
    Some never say a word.

    And those are the ones we lose.

    Today’s episode is one of the hardest we’ve ever

    released—and one every parent, teacher, responder, and caregiver needs to hear.

    We’re talking about suicide in children.

    The quiet kind.
    The kind that hides in “good behavior,” in empty smiles, in a silence no one
    ever questioned.

    This is not about fear.

    It’s about awareness.
    It’s about presence.
    It’s about becoming the kind of adult a child can safely bring their truth
    to—before the spiral begins.

    🔗 Listen now.

    Share it with your team. Talk

    about it at your dinner table. Be brave enough to hear what most people avoid.

  • IGY6: I Refuse To Go Quietly: RISEUP Responders Edition


    IGY6: I REFUSE TO GO QUIETLY

    This isn’t just a saying. It’s a sacred vow.
    A tattoo. A battle cry. A blood oath to stand in the gap for our brothers and
    sisters when the systems fail and the silence gets loud.

    In this raw and unapologetic episode, I go deep into:

    ⚠️The battles we face after the sirens fade
    ⚠️The violence against those who serve
    ⚠️The rising suicide rates and line-of-duty deaths
    ⚠️Why our marriages are crumbling and our debt is rising
    ⚠️What chronic stress and trauma are really doing to the frontline brain
    ⚠️And most importantly…
    ⚠️The hope on the horizon. The mission built by us, for us.

    If you’ve ever worn the uniform…

    If you’ve ever loved someone who has…
    If you’ve ever wondered why IGY6 is carved into our skin—
    This one’s for you.
    Because I refuse to go quietly. And I won’t let you either.

    🎧 Listen now. Share with your crew. And

    remember—IGY6.

  • Foundations- Your Nervous System Doesn't Care About Your To Do List

    🎧 New Podcast Episode:

    Your Nervous System Doesn’t Care About Your To-Do List

    You’re probably not lazy. You’re not doomed to be scattered. You’re not failing.

    You’re probably just dysregulated.

    And your nervous system?

    It doesn’t care about your planner, your pressure, or how many podcasts you’ve listened to about time management.
    It cares about one thing: safety.

    In this episode of RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines,

    I break down why even high-achieving, mission-driven humans burn out, and how we reclaim clarity, focus, and execution by leading with biology over burnout.

    You’ll learn:

    Why chronic stress overrides willpower
    How dysregulation hijacks your executive function
    tactical nervous system-based performance tools

    This isn’t about doing less, It’s about doing things from a state that can actually handle it.

  • RISEUP Relationship Reset-The Art of Repair

    🎧 New Podcast Episode:

    The Art of Repair – What Actually Heals After Conflict

     

    You’re not failing because you fight.

    You’re struggling because no one ever taught you how to repair.

     

    In this episode of RISEUP: Relationship Reset, we’re

    pulling back the curtain on what actually heals after conflict—not just the
    apology, but the nervous system work, the accountability, and the return to
    connection that rewires your bond from the inside out.

     

    💥 This isn’t about saying “I’m sorry” and

    moving on.
    It’s about building trust that can survive real rupture.

    You’ll learn:

    🧠
    What the Gottman Institute says about repair and long-term love
    🛠️
    Tactical phrases that de-escalate and reconnect
    🧬
    How your nervous system and your partner’s create a feedback loop
    💬
    What to say (and what not to say) when things go sideways

    This is about learning to fight fair, recover faster, and

    reconnect deeper.
    Because the strongest couples don’t avoid conflict.
    They learn how to come back stronger, together.

    🎧 New Podcast Episode Released:

    Tactical Soft Skills – The Silent Armor That Saves Relationships


    You were trained to survive the worst.
    But were you ever trained to connect?

    In this episode of RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines,

    we’re pulling back the curtain on the emotional battlefield nobody talks
    about—the one at home, in your relationships, with your team, with yourself.

    Tactical soft skills aren’t fluff.

    They’re not about being nice.
    They’re about staying alive—in connection.

    🧠 Inside this episode:

    Whether you wear a badge, a uniform, or scars that never

    fully faded, this episode is your call to train differently.

    You don’t have to do it perfectly.
    You just have to be willing to do it better.
