This is Part 2 of our conversation with Robin Hopkins.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1, we recommend starting there to hear the moment that changed everything.

In this episode, we move beyond the incident and into what came after.

After being shot in the line of duty, Robin’s life shifted in ways no one prepares you for. The physical recovery was only part of the story.

What followed was a deeper fight—through chronic pain, PTSD, depression, and alcohol abuse—and the realization that some of the hardest battles weren’t new at all, but rooted in unresolved trauma from her past.

This is the part of the story we don’t often hear.

What it takes to rebuild.

What healing actually looks like.

And how strength can take a completely different form.
