Send us a textBurnout doesn't just come from the calls—it grows in the silence after, inside a culture that either catches you or drops you. We sit down with Renae, a former firefighter-paramedic who now coaches first responders on burnout recovery and nervous system regulation, to unpack how leadership betrayal, union politics, and the loss of seasoned mentors quietly shape morale, retention, and the quality of care on scene.Renae walks us through two starkly different departments: one with strong traditions, shared meals, and senior firefighters who taught without needing stripes; another that pushed out elders, fast-tracked promotions, and sold “progress” through spoken promises that never made it to paper. The result? Rapid rank with thin experience, confused standards, and burnout that looks like apathy but feels like betrayal. Along the way, we explore why it's easier to part ways in anger than on good terms, how that psychology plays out in unions and leadership, and what happens when EMS integration shifts priorities without protecting mentorship.This conversation is practical at its core. We outline how to rebuild a real firehouse: formalize mentorship roles for elders, protect shared rituals that transmit norms, and require written commitments instead of handshakes. We dig into nervous system skills—breathing, grounding, pacing, boundaries—and explain why they only stick inside supportive systems. If you care about first responder wellness, leadership development, and building resilient teams that last, these lessons are for you.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with your crew, and leave a review so more first responders can find it. And make sure to be back for part 2 in the next episode.You can reach Renae on several platforms to discuss this episode and her program.

Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, a la destacada e inclasificable guitarrista y compositora estadounidense, Mary Halvorson con material de dos de sus discos: el nuevo “About Ghosts” con su ensamble Amaryllis y “Artlessly Falling” de 2020, junto a su banda Code Girl y el invitado especial Robert Wyatt. “About Ghosts” fue editado el 13 de junio por el sello Nonesuch y fue producido y mezclado por John Dieterich de Deerhoof. El disco presenta ocho nuevas composiciones de la instrumentista, interpretadas con su sexteto Amaryllis, la banda de improvisación que también participó en sus anteriores álbumes “Amaryllis”, “Belladonna” y “Cloudward”. El ensamble liderado por Halvorson, lo completan Patricia Brennan en vibráfono, Nick Dunston en bajo, Tomas Fujiwara en batería, Jacob Garchik en trombón y Adam O'Farrill en trompeta, a quienes se le suman en cinco de los temas los saxofonistas Immanuel Wilkins y Brian Settles. “Empecé a escribir este disco en otoño de 2023 para Amaryllis y pensé: '¿Sabes qué? Quiero añadir saxofones'. Y así fue”, dice Halvorson. “Lo sentí como un experimento. Simplemente sentía una armonía más densa, que requería más instrumentos de viento. Pero quería seguir con Amaryllis, así que me pareció natural añadir un par de saxofones en lugar de hacer algo completamente nuevo; ya había estado tocando mucho con Amaryllis en ese momento y estábamos en un muy buen momento”. En tanto, “Artlessly Falling” fue editado el 16 de octubre de 2020 por el sello Firehouse 12 e incluye como invitado especial al legendario músico inglés Robert Wyatt (Soft Machine, Matching Mole), quien canta tres de sus canciones. Halvorson comentó que lo convenció de participar, pese a su anunciado retiro de la vida musical en 2014. La guitarrista ha sido una admiradora del cantante, multiinstrumentista, letrista y compositor británico desde largos años e, incluso, en 2018 comenzó su playlist para la célebre revista Wire con el tema ‘Sea Song' de Wyatt. En esa ocasión, señaló que: “Estoy comenzando con Robert Wyatt porque su influencia probablemente sea más profunda. Es un verdadero individuo e innovador y he pasado años escuchando muchos de sus álbumes”. “Robert es uno de mis héroes”, agregó Halvorson. “Es algo tan importante para mí que estuviera dispuesto a cantar en este disco, porque su música ha sido una enorme influencia en Code Girl y en casi todo lo demás que he hecho. Escribí las tres pistas que canta específicamente para él, y me sorprendió la gracia y la brillantez con la que se acercó a esta música. Fue un sueño hecho realidad”. “Artlessly Falling” es el segundo disco del proyecto de Halvorson, Code Girl, el que incluye en sus filas a la cantante Amirtha Kidambi, el bajista Michael Formanek y el baterista Tomas Fujiwara, a quienes se les unen el tromeptista Adam O'Farrill y la saxofonista María Grand. Mary Halvorson es una valorada guitarrista y compositora de Brooklyn, NY, que ha creado una obra muy personal y única dentro del avant-garde y la experimentación, trabajando con una gran cantidad de músicos, entre los que se cuentan Tim Berne, Anthony Braxton, Trevor Dunn, Bill Frisell, Ingrid Laubrock, Jason Moran, Tomeka Reid, Marc Ribot, John Zorn y David Breskin, además de ser parte de la banda, Thumbscrew. No se pierdan Rebelión Sónica por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Once a real, functional firehouse in the city of Norman, the Firehouse Art Center is now a hub of the creative arts in its community. In addition to a variety of creative exhibitions, Firehouse offers classes and workshops in a wide range of mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture, jewelry making, and all sorts of skills to turn the wheels of the mind. Andy Couch, executive director and curator for the art center, is our guest of the week.

Don't half-ass it, full-ass it." This mantra has guided her from her first Google search for "acting classes in Oklahoma" to upcoming film premieres and working alongside A-list talent.
