Episode 116 – “Tones Dropped. So Did He.” The fall—and rise—of Matty Fiorenza

We Don’t Need Awareness. We Need a Damn Roadmap.
with Matty Fiorenza

Let’s stop pretending awareness is the goal. First responders don’t need another campaign... they need real help, real tools, and a system that doesn’t collapse the minute someone says, “I’m not okay.”

In this raw and honest conversation, Cinnamon sits down with retired Anaheim firefighter/paramedic Matty Fiorenza—founder of the First Responder Peace and Refuge Foundation and a man who knows what it means to rebuild a life from the inside out. From addiction and trauma to faith, brotherhood, and post-retirement purpose, Matty shares what actually helped, and what didn’t.

They dig into real-deal interventions like the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB), EMDR, ART, neurofeedback, and the daily work it takes to keep showing up for yourself. This episode isn’t about breaking stigma. It’s about building systems that work.

If you’re serious about supporting first responders, this is the conversation.
And if you are one, then this might just be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.
