91 - Faith: A Foundation for Resilience - with Sgt. Jason Sery
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Conrad Weaver sits down with veteran police officer Jason Sery, who shares his 26-year journey in law enforcement, his unwavering Christian faith, and the hidden toll that comes with a life in service. Jason opens up about the emotional and psychological weight of his career — from experiencing trauma firsthand to carrying the burdens of others as a peer support officer and Bible study leader. He courageously reveals how his unprocessed pain and internalized stress led him to the brink of suicide during a family vacation in Hawaii.
With humility and grace, Jason shares how God's intervention, solid therapy, and the support of his faith community saved his life and re-anchored his purpose. He also discusses the challenges of being a Christian in a secular profession and offers guidance for officers struggling silently with their faith or mental wellness. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, Jason’s vulnerability and authenticity will leave a lasting impact.

89 - Discovering Purpose in Trauma - The Craig DeMartino Story

89 - Discovering Purpose in Trauma - The Craig DeMartino Story
 
You won’t believe this story: Craig DeMartino fell roughly 100 feet in the backcountry, suffered catastrophic injuries—and then amputated his own leg. Doctors didn’t expect him to survive the night.
Fast-forward 22 years, and Craig has not only climbed El Capitan five times, including as the first amputee to summit it in under 24 hours, but he also leads climbing expeditions that help veterans and people with disabilities reclaim their purpose and identity.
Episode Highlights:
Origins of the Accident
Craig fell ~100 feet while top-roping in Rocky Mountain National Park (July 2002). Miscommunication with partner led to premature release and catastrophic injuries including compound fractures, spinal injury, broken ribs/neck, punctured lungs. He survived and underwent an extensive rescue via backcountry, litter, helicopter, and hospital care.
The Road to Recovery
Multiple surgeries, ICU, rehab, two months in assisted living. After 18 months, he chose to amputate a non-healing right leg to reduce pain and regain function.
Mental Health Journey
Craig and his wife Cindy sought couple and individual therapy for PTSD, identity loss, and adapting to physical changes. Therapeutic strategies: breaking goals into manageable “chunks”—a mindset he learned from climbing.
Rebirth as an Adaptive Climber
Craig returned to climbing, conquered El Capitan five times—including becoming the first amputee to climb it in under a day (14 hours)—and led an all-disability ascent documented in Gimp Monkeys.
Giving Back Through Mentorship
He now co-leads Adaptive Adventures, guiding veterans and others with disabilities into climbing as a tool for healing, identity rebuilding, and community.
Daily Habits for Wellness
Movement, pain management, and self-compassion (“rest days are okay”) are key to sustaining physical and mental health post-trauma.
Facing Fear
Craig still acknowledges fear but manages it by “living with it” rather than trying to erase it—focusing on logical risk management, small incremental progress, and emotional self-regulation.
Finding Purpose
Surviving the accident propelled Craig to ask, “Why did I live?” His mission became turning adversity into opportunity, inspiring and empowering others.
What’s Next?
Upcoming adventure: rock climbing on Sardinia’s coastal cliffs with Cindy.
Listen and be inspired to face your own challenges—and maybe reach for a summit of your own.

88 - The Calls Didn't Break Me: Toxic Leadership and It's Toll - with Chief David Rhodes

Show Notes – First Responder Wellness Podcast with Chief David Rhodes
Episode Title:The Calls Didn't Break Me: Toxic Leadership and It's Toll - with Chief David Rhodes
Episode Summary:In this episode, host Conrad Weaver speaks with Chief David Rhodes—veteran firefighter, editor-in-chief of Fire Engineering Magazine, and VP of Clarion Fire & Rescue Group—about the often-unspoken toll of toxic leadership in the fire service. Drawing from over 36 years on the line and decades of national instruction, Rhodes shares why organizational culture can be just as damaging as traumatic calls—and why supportive leadership may be the strongest buffer against long-term psychological harm.
Chief Rhodes unpacks the viral keynote that caught fire online after FDIC 2023, where he named the real stressors firefighters often face: exclusion, favoritism, and lack of agency. He discusses why many departments still miss the mark on wellness, what peer support should really look like, and how leaders can move from “power and control” to true servant leadership.
Whether you're in command or just starting your career, this conversation will challenge how you think about mental health, organizational stress, and the responsibility of leadership in public safety.
Key Topics Covered:
Why poor leadership causes more stress than critical incidents
The lasting damage of organizational exclusion and favoritism
Why some firefighters survive trauma—and others don’t
The "legs of the stool" that support emotional resilience
Peer support: what works, what doesn’t, and where it’s going
The danger of over-regulating risk in the name of safety
Why strong leadership demands feedback from outside your circle
Notable Quotes:
“The calls didn’t break me. It was the daily grind of being told no—no to training, no to contributing, no to growth.”
“Leadership is lonely. And if you’re not actively asking, ‘Am I creating a healthy or a toxic culture?’—you already have a problem.”

85 - Be Where Your Feet Are with Donald Brucker

In Episode 85 of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, Chief Deputy Fire Marshal Don Brucker shares his 39-year journey through the fire service—and the emotional weight that comes with it. From handling fatal fire scenes to the heartbreaking loss of his beloved dogs, Don opens up about the quiet, often ignored toll of first responder work. But this episode isn't about despair—it's about hope, growth, and leading by example.
He speaks candidly about his own breakdown, the pivotal moment a roll of paper towels triggered a complete emotional collapse, and the internal shift that followed. Don also describes how a mindfulness class became the catalyst for transformation and how therapy—once unthinkable for him—became a tool for healing.
Don’s insights on leadership, culture change, and how to spark difficult conversations within departments offer tangible takeaways for chiefs, officers, and every first responder listening.

83 - Physical Health is Mental Health with Samantha Sonnett

🔹 Episode Overview
In the first installment of this two-part series, host Conrad Weaver welcomes back Samantha Sonnett, a retired NYPD officer, for an unfiltered and deeply moving conversation about the realities of law enforcement and its long-term impact on wellness.
Samantha reflects on her 20+ year career with the NYPD, from patrolling the streets to training first responders for high-risk emergencies. She offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to manage impossible caseloads, deal with performance quotas, and endure the physical and emotional toll of the job.
The episode then takes a powerful turn into Samantha’s post-retirement focus on health. She reveals disturbing health trends among first responders—including significantly reduced life expectancy—and shares why nutrition, cellular health, and holistic wellness should be top priorities for everyone wearing the badge.
🔹 Key Topics Discussed
👮‍♀️ Samantha’s Law Enforcement Career
Retired in July after over two decades with the NYPD.
Worked in patrol and domestic violence investigations, managing up to 4,000 cases in a single year.
Later transitioned to the COBRA unit, where she trained first responders in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear preparedness.
💔 The Hidden Costs of the Job
Intense burnout, especially during her early years on patrol.
Lack of backup in her domestic violence unit led to high stress and no time off.
Quota-driven policing undermined community trust and forced officers to compromise judgment.
🤝 Brotherhood vs. Bureaucracy
Strong bonds with her early squad provided essential support and camaraderie.
Later years in a more “corporate” setting lacked those human connections.
Acknowledges both the value and the potential toxicity of “brotherhood culture.”
🧠 Mental Health & Institutional Shortcomings
While mental health awareness is improving, systemic change is still lacking.
Suicide rates and burnout continue to rise.
Officers are overworked, with some working excessive overtime just to earn a livable wage.
❤️ Physical Health Crisis in First Responders
Jaw-dropping stat: First responders' average lifespan is 20 years shorter than the national average.
First responders lead in heart disease, metabolic disorders, obesity, and cancer.
Many in retirement are sick or dying young—sometimes within a few years of leaving the force.
🧪 Nutrition, Awareness, and Cellular Health
Samantha emphasizes the link between nutrition and cellular function—a connection most first responders overlook.
She dispels myths about protein shakes, calorie counting, and gym routines, explaining that these do not equate to real health.
Lack of essential micronutrients like magnesium, potassium, and vitamin D contributes to chronic illness.
💊 The Broken Wellness Ecosystem
Critiques both Big Pharma and the massive wellness industry for spreading misinformation and offering band-aid solutions.
Over 80% of Americans are on at least one prescription, and over 70% are overweight.
Functional nutrition—rooted in science—is what changed Samantha’s perspective after her own health issues.
