    SPECIAL EDITION: A Proactive Peer Support System First Responders Can Trust

    What if peer support in your agency didn’t depend on chance, availability, or who happened to answer the phone? In this episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, Conrad Weaver talks with Nik Fiorito of Peer Connect about a system designed to make peer support more proactive, more confidential, and more sustainable for first responder agencies. They discuss how Peer Connect helps responders connect with trusted peers, how supervisors can initiate support without crossing confidentiality lines, and why this matters especially for small, rural, and understaffed departments. Nik also explains how agencies are using Peer Connect to reduce burnout among peer supporters, improve follow-up, and create a more consistent support process for their teams. If your department has a peer support team, wants to build one, or is looking for a better way to care for its people after difficult calls, this conversation is worth your time.

    124 - First Responder Trauma and Marriage with Erin Jane EPISODE SUMMARY

    In this episode, Conrad sits down with Erin Jane for a conversation that feels both deeply personal and quietly important. Erin is a former police officer and detective from Australia, now living in Boston as the wife of an active-duty firefighter, a wellness coach, podcast host, radio host, and advocate for first responder mental health. What unfolds is more than a professional interview—it’s a human conversation about what service costs, what love requires, and what healing can look like when the uniform comes off.

    Erin speaks with honesty about the emotional residue of police work, the delayed processing that can come years after leaving the job, and the reality of carrying darkness long after the moment has passed. She opens up about suicides being some of the hardest calls she ever handled, not only because of the tragedy itself, but because of the intimate grief left behind. She also offers a rare perspective from both sides of the first responder world: as a former officer and as the spouse of a firefighter.

    This episode matters because it names what so many people feel but do not know how to articulate—burnout, fear, compartmentalization, emotional distance, marriage strain, and the quiet hope that things can get better. Listeners will walk away with practical insight, compassion for themselves and their loved ones, and a reminder that struggling is not weakness. It is human. And support is not only possible—it is necessary.

    ABOUT ERIN JANE

    Erin Jane Nugent is a former police officer and detective from Australia who now works in the first responder wellness space as a coach, speaker, and podcast host. She is also the wife of an active-duty firefighter and brings a rare perspective shaped by both serving in uniform and living alongside someone who still does.
