In this episode, Rosie speaks with Brad Cooper, a former NSW Police officer who shares his raw and powerful journey from the frontline to finding a new purpose.

Brad takes us through his early days in policing, where he thrived on helping others, but the emotional toll of trauma and burnout eventually pushed him to his limits. Faced with the difficult decision to leave the job, Brad opens up about the harsh realities of transitioning out of the force and the challenges that come with starting over.

Through his story of resilience, Brad found a new calling: mentoring young drivers and promoting road safety, using his experience to create safer communities.

With honesty and humour, Brad reflects on the struggles he faced, the support that helped him through, and the practices that keep him grounded today. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own path through adversity or seeking inspiration on how to turn setbacks into new beginnings.

In this episode of Triumph Beyond Trauma, we sit down with Mitch Parker, a former NSW Police Officer and multi-award-winning first responder, to explore his remarkable journey from emergency services to life beyond the badge. Mitch opens up about his transition, highlighting the challenges of leaving the police force on his own terms after nearly two decades of service. He reflects on his experiences working in high-risk roles, including rescues during devastating floods, and his ongoing commitment to service as a firefighter and council member for the Royal Humane Society of NSW.

Mitch shares candid insights into his decision to leave the force, the identity struggles that often come with stepping away from uniformed roles, and the importance of finding purpose outside of policing. Through humour, vulnerability, and hard-earned wisdom, Mitch reminds us all that while leaving the first responder world is daunting, it also offers new opportunities for growth, purpose, and community connection. Whether you're contemplating a career change or simply curious about life after frontline service, Mitch’s story is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation.

In this episode, we explore the inspiring journey of Roger Eichler, a former first responder who transformed his life after facing profound personal challenges. Roger shares his harrowing experiences on the front lines, where the relentless pressure and exposure to traumatic events took a toll on his mental health. Despite the overwhelming darkness he faced, Roger found a path to healing through resilience, support, and the power of community. His story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of seeking help when it’s needed most.

Roger candidly discusses his struggles with PTSD, describing the critical moments that pushed him to the brink and ultimately led him to seek the help he desperately needed. A key part of his recovery involved his work with Trojan's Trek, a program designed to support veterans and first responders in their journey toward mental wellness. Through his involvement with Trojan's Trek, Roger not only reclaimed his life but also found a renewed sense of purpose in helping others navigate their own battles with trauma. His story is a powerful reminder of the impact that vulnerability, connection, and self-care can have on the road to recovery.
