  • Where the Healing Begins

    Conrad Weaver isn’t just hosting a podcast, he’s building a bridge between the job and the healing. First Responder Wellness gets to the heart of what so many are silently carrying, and it does it without drama or ego.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Skeptic to Believer - with Chief Rob Reardon
Q: How did the leadership respond to the horrific incident with the pediatric patients?
The department engaged a Boston-based EAP team, brought in trauma-informed support, and implemented family-focused nights to address the broader impact, which shifted the culture towards proactive care.
Ego Kills Careers, and How to Lead Differently with Dr. Ron Camacho
Q: What are you doing now on a regular basis to take care of yourself?
Continual introspection, conversations with my wife and a close deputy chief, open dialogue with staff, and regular access to coaching and community feedback to stay grounded and focused on service.
Ego Kills Careers, and How to Lead Differently with Dr. Ron Camacho
Q: Is there a moment you led from ego instead of service, and what did you do to correct it?
Early in my career I led with toughness and intimidation; therapy helped me see my insecurities, healed childhood trauma, and shifted me toward empathy, humility, and serving others before myself.
Ego Kills Careers, and How to Lead Differently with Dr. Ron Camacho
Q: If there's someone listening who realizes ego may be impacting their leadership, what's the first step toward change?
Be honest with yourself about where you are, and if the problem is big, consider therapy; if not, start with an honest mirror, assess self-awareness, and seek trusted feedback from family or friends to begin making adjustments.
Shot in the line of Duty - with Hali Bradford
Q: What has helped you most in dealing with the loss of purpose and the impact of the shooting?
She credits faith, gym-based physical recovery, mission trips, and a strong support network of women from trauma programs who became her sisterhood, helping her find new purpose beyond policing.
