In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Christian Lane is joined by Carly Ring, a dedicated mental health professional, first responder advocate, and passionate speaker on trauma, healing, and identity. Carly shares her lived experiences as a survivor of childhood trauma, a first responder, and someone who has walked through complex grief, post-traumatic growth, and the transformative journey of self-reclamation.

Together, they explore:

• The long tail of unacknowledged trauma and how it shapes our identities
• What it means to belong in uniform — and the cost of tying your worth to it
• Carly’s story of betrayal trauma and how she rebuilt her life from the ground up
• Navigating moral injury and spiritual crisis in the wake of occupational trauma
• How advocacy became a channel for healing, and a call to greater service

This episode is a raw, unflinching look at what it means to break — and how, through love, courage, and community, we become something stronger.
