Before she co-founded The SIREN Project, Angela Graham was a firefighter, a medic, a mother—and completely falling apart. In Part One of this raw and honest two-part series, Angela opens up about the years of trauma, burnout, and breakdowns that nearly ended everything. From holding it together on the outside to crumbling behind closed doors, she shares what it looked like to lose herself in the job, in the pain, and in silence.

This episode is a gut check for anyone who's ever wondered, "What happens when I can't keep doing this anymore?"

Angela’s story is not just about pain—it’s about the moment she said “enough,” booked a one-way ticket to San Diego, and got in a van with strangers to cross the border into something completely unexpected: healing.
