In this episode, I’m joined by Lucy Macleod for an honest conversation about identity, resilience, and what it really takes to sustain a long career in the fire service. We talk about being more than one thing, how busyness can become a coping mechanism, and why balance looks different for everyone. Drawing on Lucy’s experience across operational firefighting, trauma excellence, leadership, and academia, this conversation cuts past surface level wellbeing talk and gets into what actually helps people stay human under pressure.

We also explore Lucy’s work around connection and psychological safety through her book Lucy and Blue. Blue is not just a wellbeing dog, but a bridge, helping lower barriers and create space for honest conversations without pressure. Lucy shares what working alongside Blue has taught her about presence, trust, and meeting people where they are. This episode is about purpose, belonging, and the quiet influence that comes from showing up consistently, human to human.
