Manage episode 485245889 series 3665243
Thought I Was Invincible⦠Until My Body Said Otherwise
At 22, I was living the dreamāfireman, adrenaline junkie, American hero in bunker gear. I felt bulletproof⦠until the day my right eye felt like it was exploding inside my skull.
That moment was the first domino in a decade-long battle with chronic health issuesāsinus surgeries, loss of smell and taste, depression, weight gain, and a deep unraveling of my identity as a man, husband, and leader.
In this video, I open up about:
The toxic bravado of fire service culture
What it really cost me to ignore the warning signs
How I nearly lost myself (and my marriage) in the process
The friend who didnāt survive his health battleāand the wake-up call it gave me
And why I had to walk away from the firehouse to save my life
ā ļø If youāve ever felt like your body is betraying you⦠or your pride is costing you more than you realize⦠this one is for you.
