On her very first day as a firefighter, the men on her team pulled her aside and told her: If you get into trouble, we’re not coming to save you.

For fourteen years, Lynnette walked into burning buildings carrying that weight. She fought literal fires while a fire-breathing Fear-Fred raged inside her head, whispering Don’t mess up. Make sure you’ve got an out. You’re on your own.

She was functioning in survival mode for over a decade - and she didn’t even know it.

In this episode, you’ll walk with Lynnette through every milestone of the Courage Map - from the silence that nearly destroyed her to the fierce freedom she found on the other side.

Her story will show you what it looks like when a woman decides that surviving isn’t enough anymore.

If you’ve ever stayed silent to stay safe, this one’s for you.
