What happens after? After the fire. After the trauma, after the heartbreak, the burnout, the silence?

In this first episode of First Due, host Amanda- former paramedic, firefighter, EMS leader and survivor- introduces the heart behind the podcast; a space to explore post-traumatic growth, identity, nervous system heling, breathwork, resilience, and remembering who we are beneath the armor.

With grit, vulnerability and a deep desire to serve, Amanda shares a glimpse into her own journey through loss, burnout, and rebirth. If you've ever felt like you were supposed to hold it all together while your soul was falling apart- this is for you.

This podcast is for anyone searching for a softer, stronger, truer version of themselves.
