    You are not Broken: Dr. Rose Maynard-First Responder Wellness
    Jun 7 2025
    HALT and Call for Backup-Episode (118): "You Are Not Broken"
    Dr. Rose Maynard
    Program Director-First Responder Wellness
    Coast to Coast with Mike Koch and Jim McLintock

    This week, Jim and I sat down with Dr. Rose Maynard, LMFT, a powerhouse in trauma recovery and a passionate advocate for first responders. With advanced training in EMDR, ART, and TF-CBT, Rose brings both clinical expertise and lived understanding-shaped by her own roots in a military and first responder family.
    Before becoming a therapist, she spent over a decade as a massage therapist, deepening her knowledge of the mind-body connection. Now, at First Responder Wellness, she helps our brothers and sisters in uniform heal, reconnect, and remember: You are not broken.

  • Self-Forgiveness: Letting go and Moving Forward

    Self-Forgiveness: Letting go and Moving Forward
    Apr 28 2025
    Self-Forgiveness: Letting go and Moving Forward
    H.A.L.T. and Call for Backup-Episode 117
    Coast to Coast with Mike Koch and Jim McLintock

    In this episode we explore one of the most challenging yet transformative steps in healing-self-forgiveness. This episode breaks down what self-forgiveness really means: accepting responsibility without self-condemnation, releasing guilt, and moving forward with compassion. We tackle the internal battles that often block this path-like survivor’s guilt, perfectionism, and the fear that forgiveness means letting yourself off the hook. Backed by research and real-world tools, this episode offers a guide to letting go of the past and stepping into a life defined not by mistakes, but by growth.
    Begin your journey toward peace-because healing starts with how you treat yourself.

    The No Matter What Club (NMWC)
    H.A.L.T. and Call for Backup-Episode 116
    Coast to Coast with Mike Koch and Jim McLintock
    In this episode of HALT and Call for Backup, we dive deep into the powerful concept of the No Matter What Club (NMWC). As former police officers turned recovery advocates, we explore the idea that no matter the challenges, obstacles, or temptations you may face, you have the power of choice.
    The NMWC isn’t about never facing difficulties, it’s about building the strength and mindset to choose a path that keeps you moving forward, no matter what.
    Whether you're a first responder or someone who's struggled with tough decisions, this conversation offers invaluable insight into the power of making a choice that supports your recovery and well-being.
    Tune in as we talk about what it means to truly take control of your life, learn vital skills, and create a future free from the patterns that once held you back.
