This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with retired Leo, author, and Boulder Crest Struggle Well guide, JP McMichael. JP and I discuss his passion for helping those that have experienced trauma find a way forward. We discussed his line of children books as well as his role as a Struggle Well Guide for the Boulder Crest Foundation.

This week I had the great opportunity to sit down with friends David Dachinger and Bonnie Rumilly, two amazing humans that are doing great things for our first responder community. When I initially entered this space they were some of the first to welcome me with open arms.

Producing their own first responder podcast, Responder Resilience wasn't enough apparently. David , Bonnie and their co-host Dr Stacy Raymond had to take this initiative one step further with the creation of " Helping the Helpers, The Clinician's Guide to First Responder Mental Wellness".

What a resource for those that care about this community and wan to more effectively serve it. This book allows everyone that interacts with the first responder community to be more effective in their attempts to reach, and more importantly, positively impact the members of this community that have often had to go about their wellness journey alone.

More about Jay

I help people who live and lead under pressure learn how to stabilize their nervous system after high stress moments, individual crisis, and community crisis, and return to clarity (take the armor off) when it matters most, when you’re off shift, with your family or friends, and not working.

As the founder of Resilience Under Fire, I teach science backed tools that I’ve mastered through training with renowned scientists, somatic practitioners, and many others, tools that bring the body and brain back into balance even when life feels intense or unpredictable. My work draws from neuroscience, physiology, kinesiology, biology, behavioral science, and human performance research. But I am not the academic, and this is not an academic program. I speak to people who didn’t go to school for this with master’s degrees or doctorates. What I share is postdoctoral-level information integrated with common sense and delivered in common tongue.

The goal isn’t to avoid stress, it’s to work with your system so it learns how to balance survival brain dominance. When people understand their body’s signals, they stop reacting from impulse and start making decisions with a clearer mind.

If you’re seeking ways to build calm under pressure, strengthen emotional awareness, and create stability in yourself or your team, that’s what Resilience Under Fire is built for:
Rise. Rebuild. Reclaim.
