At 18 years old, Evan Birch began his career with emergency services in Alberta. Twenty years later, after saving countless lives and not yet the ripe old age of 40, he has learned to not only accept his PTSD diagnosis, but how to "run" the gauntlets imposed by the injury. 

Evan joins the show to discuss a little about his pre-PTSD journey, with more focus  about his work to mitigate the symptoms by facing them head on and engaging in ultra running. Learn also why he'll never again ask someone how they are feeling...

***WARNING: this podcast contains graphic content that may be disturbing or triggering to some listeners. Discretion is advised.***

Connect with Evan and follow his journey of ultra running, alongside his passion for mental health advocacy through his connection with Bigger Than The Trail. ***Documentary to be released in Spring 2024***

Patty Smith joined the reg forces at a time there were not many other women in the Army. At 30 years service - experiencing misogyny and traumatic memories of driving amongst land mines in the fields of Bosnia - and just days away from retirement, she was ordered to be assessed for potential mental health injuries.

Medically retired, hospitalised as a result of domestic violence, and in the process of distancing herself from her biological family, everything in her life rapidly about-faced.

This Canadian Armed Forces veteran shares the ups and downs of her ongoing journey, as well as her advice for others who are struggling.

As a first responder, horrible scenes are often the only places you spend time with first responders of other services. The YXEFRFF committee of five have been changing that reality.

Saskatoon police  officer Ang McEwen and paramedic Nathan Rollack, both of YXE First Responders Fitness Festival, speak about their success last year, the money they have raised for mental health and the number of people it has helped, the work involved with bringing together teams of firefighters, police officers & paramedics to compete against each other, and the plans for this year's festival in October.

September Froggley’s personal journey has led her to the conclusion that any hope of curing mental health is not about pills, but rather human connection. 

Depression, drugs, disassociation, addiction, stints in rehab, addictions again, suicide, grief, and a culminating attempt to save others.    

This is how one amazing woman is fanning the flames of change.

They say that all good things must come to end. If that's the case, then by logic, all bad things must also come to an end, otherwise no other good things would happen. 

This episode will always be very, very special on account of my co-host... who I'll leave unnamed here. 

Just take the time to listen... it's a fairly relaxing, yet transitional journey.
