13 JUL 2024 · Silence is Killing First Responders
With Nicole Ferry
H.A.L.T. and Call for Backup
Coast to Coast with Mike Koch and Jim McLintock
This podcast demonstrates how one person can go through trauma and have the courage to break the silence and get help. Many First Responders keep their personal and emotional issues to themselves, suffering in silence and often taking their own lives.
Nicole, a seasoned law enforcement professional with 26 years of experience, Special Agent in Charge and Sergeant in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, vowed to give her life for another human being in her pursuit to protect and serve our country and to protect the citizens of the United States of America.
Silence nearly ended her life and it took literally a cry for help, a scream for help, before she rescued herself from the pit of despair that many never return. With the love of her husband, family and strong support, Nicole got help. She continues to work on herself and not surprisingly, she is continuing to help others by reaching out to those who remain silent.

10 MAY 2024 · Guilt and Shame Recovery: The Master Class
H.A.L.T. and Call for Backup
Coast to Coast with Mike Koch and Jim McLintock
Positive Connections Radio: PCR E-106
Guilt: a feeling that we’ve done—or perceived we’ve done—something wrong.
Shame: a feeling that our whole self is wrong—that we are worthy of contempt from others—that we are inadequate and without value.
Guilt and shame that are allowed to run unchecked can take hold of our self-image and self-esteem. We become sensitive to “perceived” criticisms and feel rejection from others. We spiral into worthlessness, self-contempt, and the inability to give ourselves the grace, mercy, self-kindness, and self-forgiveness that we so easily give to others.
What do we know that’s true about guilt and shame? Only that they are the motivational factors to anger, violence, self-hatred, substance abuse, and unhealthy emotional regulation.
Had enough of allowing guilt and shame to have unhealthy voices within you? Let’s lean in and stop this unnecessary suffering. Time to HALT and Call For Backup!
Join us for an amazing panel discussion with some incredible first responders who share their personal journeys with guilt and shame—and their personal journeys to healing and thriving!
Somebody say “1-2-3 go!”
