First responders are trained to stay alert, ready, and resilient — but that constant state of readiness doesn’t always turn off. In this conversation, we explore how stress lives in the body, why first responders often struggle to relax even in safe environments, and what that means for their health, relationships, and recovery.

Whether you serve on the front lines or love someone who does, this episode sheds light on the physical and neurological impact of the job — and why healing takes more than just rest.
