## Resource

On today’s edition, we’re diving into a raw, unfiltered conversation about what happens when the turnout gear comes off and the cumulative weight of the job follows you home. Joining me today is James Owen, a retired 30-year first responder and former Long Beach fire Captain. James is the author of the new book The Last Patient: A Memoir of Resilience and Recovery. We talk about the hard realities of job stress, hitting rock bottom, dealing with trauma, and the work it takes to truly recover—not just for yourself, but for your family
