In this episode, we sit down with James Munns, a seasoned firefighter who tells the incredible story of saving the life of a woman who nearly drowned in her car and many others as well. James's humility and reluctance to accept the title of "hero" provide a deep insight into the challenges faced by those in his line of work.
Beyond the heroic deeds, this episode delves into the often-overlooked aspects of being a firefighter: the loneliness, the stress, and the emotional toll. James opens up about the difficulties first responders face daily and shares his thoughts on stress and stress tolerance. We also focus on the importance of vulnerability and the courage it takes to change oneself, especially in a profession where asking for help can be stigmatized.
Join us as we discuss how embracing vulnerability and seeking support can build stronger connections among first responders and improve overall mental health. James’s story is a powerful reminder that true courage lies not just in saving others, but in taking steps to care for oneself.
