EP:23 When You Don't Recognize Your Signs - Nadia Merchant, Police Officer to Writer
Dee Tox and Leslie Yancey sit down with Nadia Merchant, a police officer from Ontario grappling with the aftermath of trauma. Nadia bravely shares her journey through the eyes of a first responder who, despite being accustomed to saving others, finds herself in need of rescue. After confronting the reality of her PTSD, Nadia discusses the difficult transition from acknowledging to digesting the impact of her experiences, and the challenge of finding purpose beyond the badge.
Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of seeking help when the weight of our burdens becomes too heavy to bear alone. Nadia's courage to speak out offers a beacon of hope and solidarity to anyone facing their own battles, reminding us that even heroes need heroes sometimes.
Tune in for an intimate conversation that underscores the universal emotional experience we all share and the significance of extending a hand to those in need.
