Happy Thursday Unicorns. We’re back with a brand new episode. ⬇️⬇️

We always feel so fortunate to have these conversations - and this one was no exception.

Dr. Brigitta, is a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor and former Primary Care Paramedic of 10 years. She is a quantum energy healer and medical intuitive who focuses on helping individuals braving concussion recovery, chronic pain, mental and cognitive decline reclaim and optimize their resilient brains naturally.

Her experience as a paramedic, really allowed us to chat about what first responders experience physiologically as a result of their jobs - and she shares some great tips, ideas, and strategies to mitigate the impact these stressors can have on us - mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Dr. Brigitta is a wealth of knowledge with a massive passion to help people heal. AND she does most of her work online, so she is easily accessible! She is the quantum healer of brains and pains.

You are going to want to get a pen and paper for this one. Lots to learn and apply.
You can learn more about Dr. Brigitta at https://www.drbrigitta.com/ and you can follow her on Instagram at

Happy Thursday Unicorns!
We are grateful to share a new episode with you this week .benson

Brandi Benson is an American award-winning cancer advocate, author of acclaimed book 'The Enemy Inside Me', entrepreneur and Iraqi war veteran. Her desire to join the Army in 2008, stemmed from an act of kindness that was initiated from the military towards her family during a very difficult time. She wanted to give back to the people and the organizations that supported them when they were at low point.

Her battle - at war and with cancer is a true inspiration of what you can accomplish when you choose to believe, push through, and build a support system around you!

Brandi's mission is to provide an effective blueprint of strategies and resources that anyone can use to overcome their struggles and take charge of their wellness.

Happy Friday Unicorns!!

We did not get the chance to close out last season - and we found ourselves with no guest this week, so you just get us. As we try to navigate getting fully immersed back into pre-pandemic life - and juggling all the things we are finding it a little difficult to keep it all together.

We love the podcast and what it brings to this community - so it is definitely still high up there on both of our priority lists.

Sharon has been working full time, writing, and creating a journal for corrections officers all while running her daughter to dance classes and helping her family as her brother recovers from a heart attack.

Lauren has been working in/on her business coaching business (planning some retreats) and organizing a few retreats for first responders' partners and first responder couples.

The plates are full of all the things that we love to do the most. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being here, contributing to this passion project of ours, and sharing with others!

We hope you love it as much as we do 💜💜

Happy Thursday Unicorns!
A New Episode is out now 🚨

Autumn Clifford's mission has always been to make an impact in other people lives. To her it was the natural choice to go into policing.

Autumn shares that she never had a role model in her life growing up and that is what she wanted to be for others. A PSTD and anxiety diagnosis along with a significant back injury took Autumn out of full-time policing. Her back injury had her couch ridden for 6 months where she sunk into a depression and felt lost. It was Tony Robbins that convinced her that her mission did not have to live in the constrains of policing. She realized that making an impact and helping others came in all kinds of containers.

With a newfound lease on life and her mission Autumn became a Women's Empowerment Coach and Public Speaker.
She has her own podcast - She's An Asset https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/shes-an-asset
A fabulous Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/377410802712533
It was a wonderful chat - and we can't wait to be on Autumn's podcast in the future.

Happy Thursday Friends!
A new episode is out now.

Janice Landry has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. The daughter of a fire fighter, a journalist/reporter, and the author of 9 books that touch on an array of topics - from resiliency, gratitude, hope, love, and awareness for ourself and others.

As a child, Janice can fondly remember her father making up bedtime stories. She also recalls witnessing her mother reading all of the time, mostly suspense and mystery novels. Janice eventually made the choice to pursue journalism and become a reporter - sharing stories continued to bring Janice joy.

Her most recent book The Eye of the Ocean - is a heartfelt tribute to the Barho family and the many first responders and volunteers who have helped them. The Barho family moved to Nova Scotia from Syria. Tragically, their seven children died in a Spryfield house fire in 2019.
Janice is donating her book proceeds to assist this family.

Janice was a true delight to chat with. She is passionate and heartfelt - and we know that you will walk away with some very valuable snippets that will change how you see the world - or how you tell your story!

Happy Thursday friends! A New Episode is out now. 🚨

Meet Mo. Mo Shaukat invaded our radar when we saw our former guests posting about him and his initiative to bring Boots on the Ground to Alberta. Without knowing much about him - we knew we had to get him on the show.

A Correctional officer with CSC by day - and the President of Boots on the Ground Peer Support for First Responders Alberta in his spare time - Mo shared with us his journey, his desire to openly talk about mental health, and the driving force behind his initial connection with peer support.

First responders are people of service - they love to help others. It's now time to help each other - be better, know better, and do better. Releasing the stigma, humanizing the uniform, and giving people permission to heal however that looks for them.

As BOTG Alberta is still very new - these services are not available just yet.

Please go follow, like, and keep yourself and others informed about the resources that are available to you.

Hey Friends! We’re back with a new season and a new episode!! Listen to Terri’s story out now 💙💙

Sometimes you have to take matters in your hands.
Terri Jones is a mother of two boys, the wife of a police officer, and an occupational therapist. She suffered with chronic pain, debilitating migraines, and began a long process of figuring out what was going on mentally and physically.

On a whim Terri made a decision to sign up to be a yoga teacher. In addition to her yoga training, Terri also became an instructor in meditation and the conjunction of the two practices was the start of Terri's mental and physical healing.

Terri's husband - Scott (a 25-year police member) began to see the positive effects of Terri's practice and soon joined her in an effort to release himself of stress, trauma, and overwhelm.

Terri and Scott created Twisted Oak Yoga and Wellness. Together they offer in-person yoga, online yoga, retreats, workshops, meditation, mindfulness and hot and cold exposure therapy.

Terri's story is one of self-awareness, tenacity, and pure drive. You can only suffer for so long before you have to make a decision to change. Terri took her suffering and followed her passion - and now it is her mission to help others. We are so grateful for her willingness share with us!

Happy Thursday Friends!
Shall we try this again?
New Episode Out NOW

“Extra ordinary people doing extra ordinary things". This is how Cynthia describes first responders and the people that love them. Cynthia served as a RCMP member for 25 years - and is married to an RCMP member. Throughout those years she raised a blended family, moved all over the country, and did her best to fit in.

As a female, in a predominately male career Cynthia share how she spent years "acting like a guy". She talks about all the events that lead to her being diagnosed with PTSD/PTSI - and how her husband (also diagnosed with PTSD/PTSI) was the one that was able to point out to her that she needed to get help. Her story is truly something!

Like most first responders - all she wanted to do was help people! Cynthia is continuing on that path and following that passion with a new journal that is geared towards helping first responders build awareness.

She also has a memoir that she will be releasing in the near future as well.

Happy Thursday Friends!
New Episode is out now 💜

A nurse by trade for 23 years with a passion for helping First Responders. How do we promote wellness for our first responders and front line workers? Wendy is a "wellth" of knowledge when it comes to mental health and wellness for those that have the tendency to put their own on the back burner.

This episode is packed with great information - tools and strategies, and helpful resources to get you started if you know you need to take control of your health and wellness!

Happy Friday! New Episode is out now! Sorry for the delay.
It is definitely worth the wait
Listen now🙏🏽🙏🏽

We hear it a lot in the Veteran and First Responder world - my dog saved my life. PTSI service dogs are extremely hard to come by, and they are very expensive. Our guest this week, Cindy Weir experienced this firsthand when she searched for years to get assistance to train her dog GRACIE to be a service dog for herself after being diagnosed with PTSI.

Cindy is a military veteran who was faced with numerous barriers and obstacles when attempting to get support with her healing journey. Cindy's mission led her to the US where she was able to obtain training for her dog - and learned that there was a foundation that was willing to pay for her to be supported through this process. This experience propelled Cindy to take action in Canada - creating policies to standardize trainers for service dogs and starting a non-profit to help veterans obtain service dogs! Enjoy!

We often discuss how many first responders don't reach out because of the stigma attached to struggling with your mental health. This is one of many barriers that we at PSPNET work hard to raise awareness around.

The latest episode of From Uniforms to Unicorns : A Podcast does just that with featured guest Dr. Jody Burnett, who shares some very helpful strategies and tools for anyone that is suffering with their mental health.

Happy Thursday Friends! Thursday can only mean one thing …..a new episode is out right now! 💙💙💙

We know that part of the reason that first responders don't reach out is because of the stigma attached to struggling with your mental health. We also know that there are significant barriers that stop first responders from seeking necessary treatment to due to limited access, long wait times, and finances.

Our guest, Dr. Jody Burnett is massively committed to serving first responders through PSPNET - and dedicated to giving her very best to the people that serve our communities. Her knowledge, passion, and ability to connect with first responders is inspiring.

In this conversation, Jody shares some very helpful strategies and tools for anyone that is suffering with their mental health.
PSPNET has been a huge focus for us because we see how this organization is helping first responders and their families navigate this unique lifestyle.

It’s Thursday Friends!!
We have a new episode for you and we are so excited to share Melissa’s story. 💙

You know that we love first responders, but we also have a special place in our hearts for those that love them too. Melissa is the spouse of a former corrections officer who had to leave his career due to PTSI. She is also a Clinical Social Worker that works with PSP net to help Public Safety Personnel manage their mental health with access to FREE online therapy programs and clinicians to assist in mental health intervention and prevention.

Melissa's path towards meaningful work in the field of supporting first responders did not come easily, or without a lot of turmoil, but it is always so inspiring to watch someone take something that is super crappy and turn it into a mission.

Public Service Personnel wellness has been neglected, forgotten, and ignored for far too long. We are so grateful that she shared her journey with us on this episode - and we are excited to share some amazing resources with you!
You can learn more about PSP NET at https://www.pspnet.ca/ If you are looking for help, know someone that is, or if you just love to share information in this space - please check it out and share!
