Gratitude is the Secret Sauce - Conrad Weaver
In this heartfelt Thanksgiving edition of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, host Conrad Weaver pauses to express deep gratitude to the first responder community and the listeners who support the mission of wellness, healing, and connection. Conrad reads meaningful listener reviews, reflects on the power of community, and emphasizes his role as a connector—bringing leaders, experts, and resources to the microphone to support those carrying the weight of trauma, PTSD, and the daily stresses of public safety work.
He encourages listeners to make this week a “Week of Gratitude” by reaching out to friends, peers, and colleagues with simple messages of encouragement—small actions that can save lives and strengthen connection. Conrad speaks openly about the realities of suicide risk in public safety, the importance of checking on one another, and the profound impact of being seen and supported. He wraps the episode with a reminder that no one is alone, especially during the holiday season, and offers a simple challenge: send a message today to someone you are grateful for.
