S1: E34 | From Paramedic Burnout to 10 Million Downloads: Martin Hewlett on PTSD Recovery, Rewind Therapy, and Building the Calming Anxiety Podcast
What happens when a paramedic on the brink of burnout rebuilds his life, and turns his healing into a global podcast reaching 10 million listeners?
In this powerful episode of Get a Shift On, host David Birchmore talks with Martin Hewlett, certified clinical hypnotherapist and creator of the chart-topping Calming Anxiety Podcast. Together, they unpack how Martin transformed PTSD and emotional trauma into a purpose-driven career, blending rewind therapy, mindfulness, and AI-powered podcast strategy to help others find calm.
You’ll hear Martin’s refreshingly honest take on how to:
Recover from career burnout and trauma without losing your sense of purpose.
Use rewind therapy to silence old wounds and rewire the mind for peace.
Apply guided meditation, deep breathing, and positive affirmations to conquer anxiety and build unshakable self-belief.
Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Notebook LM) to grow a podcast or business organically
Turn adversity into impact, because reinvention isn’t about escape; it’s about alignment.
Martin’s story is part healing, part entrepreneurial awakening, and part masterclass in how AI can democratize podcasting for creators without a marketing budget.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional seeking career change, a podcaster chasing growth, or someone ready to reclaim your calm and confidence, this episode delivers practical wisdom, compassion, and a nudge to finally follow your truth.
