In this episode of the Unbreakable Resilience Podcast, Giuseppe Chiaramonte (an 11-year law enforcement veteran) explores how First Responders and law enforcement personnel can transform their internal narrative through Self-Talk, Self-Coaching, and Self-Parenting. Learn five evidence-supported strategies for reshaping your inner voice, implementing the 75/25 rule for compassionate self-talk, and healing from trauma with authenticity and strength. This episode is honest, hopeful, and deeply relatable for anyone rebuilding after PTSD, anxiety, or burnout.

In this episode of Unbreakable Resilience, Giuseppe Chiaramonte explores the powerful shift from “survival workouts” driven by fear, hypervigilance, and unresolved trauma to healthy, restorative workouts rooted in self-respect and mind-body connection.

Drawing on real lived experience as a former 11-year law enforcement officer healing from PTSD, anxiety, and depression, Giuseppe breaks down how trauma pushes us into fight-or-flight fitness routines—grinding harder, lifting heavier, and pushing past pain as a way to feel safe.

This episode teaches you how to retrain the nervous system, listen to your body, and move from a place of strength instead of threat. You’ll learn the difference between training to survive and training to thrive, plus a step-by-step framework for rebuilding a healthy relationship with exercise.

Whether you’re a first responder, an athlete, or someone learning to trust your body again, this episode gives you practical strategies to enjoy workouts, build sustainable strength, and leave fear-based fitness behind.

In this reflective and deeply calming episode, 11-year police officer/Sheriff and PTSD survivor, Giuseppe Chiaramonte, invites listeners to pause, breathe, and rediscover the healing power of stillness. Through a guided conversation on meditation, he explores what it means to quiet the racing mind, release intrusive thoughts, and rest in the present moment.

Drawing inspiration from teachers like Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Jon Kabat-Zinn, Giuseppe reminds us that thoughts are not who we are, they are visitors passing through consciousness. By learning to sit, breathe, and let go, we begin to strengthen our emotional resilience, reset our nervous system, and reconnect to what’s real: the now.

This episode offers a mindful approach to healing trauma, managing anxiety, and cultivating peace from within. Whether you’re new to meditation or rediscovering your practice, this message will meet you where you are with compassion and clarity.
