First Responder Wellness Podcast
First Responder Wellness PodcastTM
With Conrad Weaver
Wellness is not optional. It’s essential.
First responders are expected to be strong, calm, and always ready to serve. But behind the badge, many are quietly facing stress, trauma, and burnout—without the support they need to thrive.
You shouldn't have to sacrifice your wellness to do the job you love.
Hosted by Conrad Weaver—filmmaker, speaker, and passionate advocate for mental health in public safety—the First Responder Wellness Podcast is a trusted space for real conversations, expert insights, and practical tools designed to help first responders and their leaders live healthier, more sustainable lives.
Each episode empowers you to:
Strengthen your mental and emotional well-being
Lead with empathy, resilience, and confidence
Build a culture of trust and wellness in your department
Whether you're on the front lines or guiding those who are, this podcast reminds you that your health and wholeness matter—because wellness is not optional, it’s essential.
Tune in and take the next step toward a stronger, healthier future—for yourself and those you serve.
