#100 - Family First Is Hard

Join me for an experiment. Before I gave birth to my son, I was curious about how hard or easy it would be to put family first when it came to the fire service: conferences to fire calls to job opportunities, and everything in between. Would my priorities flip like a switch due to hormones? Would I have the most agonizing FOMO or guilt? I wanted answers. So, I sat down and recorded my thoughts 1 week before my due date - and then I recorded the 2nd half 8 weeks after. This episode gets real, deep, and emotional. I find thoughts I didn't know I had and take on struggles I didn't know I'd face - all in real time. Firefighters: If you want a chance to open up about why family first is hard, this episode is for you. Spouses: If you want to know why your firefighters have a hard time saying no to fire things, listen in. It's sure to be eye opening.
As always, I don’t claim to be an expert, I just love to talk fire and I’m not afraid to get into real & deep discussions. Everything I say is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinions of any agency or organization I am associated with.

#106 - Talking Shop & Conferences - with Kyle Straight
Today, I dig out an interview I recorded last summer that sadly never ended up getting published. Well, it's about time.
Kyle Straight joins me to talk shop on fire life and go into some of our favorite conferences we've attended. We end the episode with a great segment of Family Firefighter Survival - going over so much, including how *not* to get divorced while going to paramedic school.
