Podcasts about relentless courage

We live in a world led by personas. It's interesting as the public outcry is for authenticity while we feast on the curated and highly edited images and videos on social media. At the core I feel we fear being authentic as we think we'll be exposed and lose all credibility as we have relationship challenges, health challenges, mental challenges, financial challenges and more. So in this episode I have a story of someone with the perfect picture, who finally let it go and found not only freedom for herself, but her avenue to help others with dramatic success. Tana Amen was a world-renowned health and fitness expert. A model. She was the picture of health, beauty, and success. Then she found herself up on stage to speak to a room full of addicts who she was critically judging for who and how they were. And she realized they were judging her too. It was a radical paradigm shift as she decided to drop the facade, come clean, and admit she had come from where they were and maybe worse. Really worse. In a moment you'll gain insight into her sordid past. But it brings us to today where she is Vice President of the renowned Amen Clinics with her husband Daniel Amen. Tana is still every bit the picture of health and beauty, but now at an even greater level of success because her gritty past makes her success far more glorious. If you've had anything less than a perfect, shiny life, you will gain much from Tana's message. If you are intrigued by our discussion I encourage you to get Tana's book, The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child: How Persistence, Grit, and Faith Created a Reluctant Healer. It is a powerful journey of someone who had every reason to fail and be overcome. But as you'll hear, she made a different choice.

Michael Sugrue's journey through the shadows of post-traumatic stress is not just his own – it's a story that echoes in the lives of many who don their uniforms with pride, only to battle silent wars within. "Relentless Courage," Michael's raw and gripping narrative, brings to light the stark realities and the resilient spirit of those in the military and law enforcement communities. As we sit down with him, Michael, alongside insights from Dr. Shauna Springer, provides a dual lens on the traumas that break and the courage that heals.When we strip away the badges and ranks, we discover the beating heart of brotherhood and the undeniable power of vulnerability. This episode peels back the curtain on the untold stories of trust and betrayal, the unspoken struggles beneath stoic exteriors, and the relentless pursuit of mental health awareness that Michael champions. From the brotherhood in the trenches to the harsh truths of administrative attitudes, we traverse a landscape where leadership isn't just about giving orders, but about listening and acknowledging the human soul behind the shield.In a world quick to judge and slow to understand, Michael's mission is clear: to shift perceptions, to provide solace, and to offer a hand to those grappling in the dark.  As Michael shares his post-retirement endeavours and dreams of a cinematic adaptation of his story, we are reminded that the path to healing is not walked alone – it is a journey shared, a dialogue opened, and a future reclaimed.Michaels Book ' Relentless Courage"Amazon https://amzn.to/48vEVnkFind Michael here;https://www.linkedin.com/in/sgtmichaelsugrue/https://www.facebook.com/sergeantmichaelsugruehttps://instagram.com/sergeant_michael_sugrue_https://www.tiktok.com/@sgt.michaelsugruehttps://linktr.ee/sgt.michael.sugrueSupport the show YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube COACHING One2One Coaching One Off Consults ________________________ FREE E-BOOK - “The best way to eat on Night shift” IN-HOUSE SEMINARS - Enquire Here _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.

This week on the Ten Eight Podcast we welcome Michael Sugrue, a retired sergeant from the state of California. Michael has a sobering story of trauma and resiliency. This story is going to hit close to home for a lot of you and I promise you it is one you do not want to miss. Michael is also the author of the best selling book, Relentless Courage: Winning The Battle Against Frontline Trauma. I also discuss the importance and beauty of peer support groups and finally, I give my talk “Hurt People Help People" --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/teneightpodcast/support

I have been asked who I help many times and for the first time the other day it just rolled off my tongue. Let me tell you the story quick. I was at my daughter's basketball tournament and noticed a familiar face sitting in his lawn chair watching games with his notepad in hand. As I looked closer I recognized him as Grant McGinnis who writes for Prep Girls Hoops. I knew I needed to introduce myself so I did. It was cool to hear someone else break down my daughter's game but that's not what this story is about. Grant and I started talking and he asked, like many people do, what I did for work. I told him I was a Master Health Coach and he asked what types of clients I served. My answer didn't surprise me but it was refreshing how effortlessly and hopefully my response came to me. So, what types of clients do I serve? My typical clients are those people who come to a place in life where they want more. They want to grow healthier so they can get a part of their youth back! Some are totally sick of where they are currently with their health. Some can't stand seeing themselves in the mirror. Some people have difficulty putting their life in order with all the things that seem to be pulling at their time and energy. Some just can't believe how far they've slid since they last took inventory of their health. Some wonder what type of example they are setting for their kids and those around them. Some are experiencing limits in their freedom to move in the world that they've never experienced before. Some just need something to do and figure a small investment in their own health might be a good place to start. It is by the way. Can I help you run a marathon? Yes. Can I help you run 100 miles? Yes. That's not what this is about though. There's a place for that but this is about navigating everyday life. I've got 15 years experience in the fitness industry and have seen lots of fads and gimmicks come and go. There is no substitute for the basics, no substitute for mechanics. They seem easy, and most of them are. Most of the time they aren't that simple though. Why? Most people don't know what to do or they don't know how to do it. They Google something in a fleeting moment of inspiration, find an answer, stick with it for a day or two and go right back to whatever they were doing wishing they could just do it. It's not that simple. Habits don't form themselves and old patterns can be difficult to break. You might be surprised to learn that it doesn't take an all or nothing approach to make sustainable change and real change does take time. Chances are you will have some setbacks. Good! How else are you going to learn what works for you and what doesn't? You're not, which is why our approach is different. We expect setbacks. Do not be unrealistic and set yourself up for failure. Instead, let's learn together with your knowledge of yourself and my knowledge of healthy living how reaching your goals fits into your unique life. Then, we'll piece it together. During my six month Master Health Coach Certification with Precision Nutrition we learned and practiced the skills necessary to help clients change their lives. If you have been considering making a change and growing in health, try coaching with Relentless Courage. Head over to www.relentlesscourage.co to learn more and sign up today!

“Seconds later, a male subject partially came out at the top of the stairwell. He was sweating profusely; his eyes were wide open with this glazed look literally staring straight through us.  And at this point we're yelling, ‘Show us your hands! Show us your hands!' and he had no visible reaction. I mean no facial expressions, I don't remember his eyes blinking, no body movement.  I mean, literally, just staring straight through us.”  - Ret. Sgt. Michael Screams pierced the early hours of that December morning, drawing an invisible line between what had been an uneventful shift for Michael and all that would come next. He and his partner had arrived at the high-rise complex within minutes of each other and took off running in pursuit of the chilling cries. Michael knew that in one of the condos a couple was barricaded behind a bedroom door, hiding from a man wielding a knife. What he didn't know was that he'd soon be forced to make a split-second decision that would change his life forever. Join former firefighter/paramedic and host Phil Klein as he sits down with Ret. Sgt. Michael, a 20-year law enforcement veteran, whose career began with the United States Air Force in 1998 in security forces. When Michael honorably separated from the Air Force in 2004 as a captain, he joined a California police department where he served in a variety of roles before retiring in 2018. It's an extensive resume and despite his impressive work domestically, internationally, and on the streets of California, Michael still asserts the bravest thing he's done is ask for help. He shares how the end of the call at the high-rise was the beginning of a years-long journey through investigations and a federal trial – events that forced him to relive that morning over and over, nearly driving him to take his own life before a friend's actions pulled him back from the brink and set him on the path to healing.

My guest today is a decorated retired police sergeant and friend. He is a former USAF Security Force Captain and a national speaker. He advocates for awareness and education on Post Traumatic Stress Injury for military and first responders. Michael has released his first book titled, "Relentless Courage Winning The Battle Against Frontline Trauma. This country continues to battle through a mental health crisis and trauma is an underlining factor. So many of us who have been on the front lines refuse to seek help. We are not stubborn or old school, we are afraid of what lies beneath. In our minds, we believe that as long as we continue to feed the monster, it will remain pacified and constrained. Unfortunately, this is a fallacy! Relentless Courage, changes the mindset. It flips the script on our "old school thinking." We are trained warriors and we place ourselves in the thick of it, but bravery extends into reaching out to another. Michael has done that! Thank you Michael for the bravery to tell the story of us on the margin. You can secure Michaels book on Amazon. I highly recommend it! Please like, share and comment on this podcast. We are working to bring you the most up to date intel to save lives! We thank you and appreciate your friendship! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brock-m-bevell/support

Today I'm talking with Michael Sugrue.  Michael wrote a book called Relentless Courage to address the constant barrage of traumatic events experienced by first responders.  He's an advocate for more transparency in police culture and he speaks with experience as a California officer who was involved in a fatal shooting, years of investigations, depositions and being sued, and then experiencing a difficult retirement, leaving on bad terms with some of the department leadership.All of these issues and more contribute to the difficulties first responders have.  But talking about them and how to overcome them can make a meaningful impact on how you deal with the hand you were dealt.Resources and Links:Michael's book, Relentless Courage https://www.amazon.com/RELENTLESS-COURAGE-Winning-Against-Frontline/dp/1736824414/Music is by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 045Subscribe/Follow here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOY

The last time I had Jude on my podcast, it turned out to be one of my favorite conversations and one of the reasons I wanted this season of the Mindset First Podcast to go deeper. Jude helps business owners leverage the power of storytelling to grow his business - but somehow we don't ever really get to that topic because this time I invited Jude back to talk about what it means to have relentless courage in business. Jude has worked with 7 figure businesses to grow their business using documentaries - but now he's in a bit of a transition that many might think is crazy. Or at the very least contrary to what most do in business. But that's who Jude is and how he has actually grown his life and self in ways that many of us don't even dare. I hope this episode inspires you to think about your own life and what it means to have relentless courage.

“Relentless Courage” author Sgt Michael Sugrue survived a lethal encounter with a crazed man with a knife, and then attacked in civil court - why qualified immunity is vital in police work

In this episode of the podcast, I talk with retired Police Sgt. Michael Sugrue. Michael is an Air Force (Security Forces Raven!!) veteran. He was involved in an on-duty shooting that caused incomprehensible PTSD issues that ultimately led to divorce, custody battles, lawsuits, health issues, and suicidal ideations. Michael survived his ordeal and wrote a bookabout it to help first responders and the military. We discuss all this and more. I hope you enjoy it. Here is a little more in-depth rundown of Michael: Michael Sugrue began his law enforcement career in the United States Air Force as a Security Forces Officer in 1998.  As a Security Forces Officer, Michael specialized in Law Enforcement, Global Force Protection, Anti-Terrorism, Nuclear Security, Foreign Air Field Assessments, and Air Base Ground Defense.  Michael served in a variety of assignments including Flight Leader, Flight Commander, Senior Watch Officer, Chief of Command Post, and Chief of Security Forces.Michael served all over the United States, Europe, the Middle East and South America.  He was also a Security Forces Phoenix Raven with the unique identifier of #1173.   Michael honorably separated from the Air Force as a Captain in 2004.Immediately after the Air Force, Michael was hired by the Walnut Creek Police Department where he served in a variety of assignments including: Patrol Officer, Driver Training Instructor (EVOC) Field Training Officer (FTO), SIU Detective, Undercover CA DOJ Narcotic Task Force Agent (Contra Costa County), Public Information Officer (PIO) and Patrol Sergeant.  Michael was awarded the Walnut Creek PD Distinguished Service Medal in 2014 for his heroic and life-saving actions during a Fatal Officer Involved Shooting in 2012.  Michael ultimately medically retired in 2018.  He is now a Peer Volunteer at the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat (WCPR) and an Ambassador for Save A Warrior (SAW).  Michael is a dedicated advocate for awareness, prevention, education, and training on Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) and First Responder Suicide Prevention.

Michael Sugrue is an Air Force Veteran and medically retired Sergeant from the Walnut Creek PD in California.  He recently released a book, Relentless Courage – Winning the Battle Against Frontline Trauma, with whom he co-authored with Dr. Shauna Springer.  At the time of our conversation, His book has been on the #1 bestseller list since its release five weeks in a row.  Michael discusses how he had no desire to write a book, but a phone call from his co-author, led to the release of a story that absolutely needed to be told. I have read countless books on the topic of front line trauma, but this one is unique.  Without giving too much away, the book alternates between Michael's voice and Doc Springer's analysis as she unpacks what was going on in Michael's mind.  Her explanations are easy to understand and help to normalize Michael's behaviors, emotions, and actions.  The big take away… first responders need safe places where they can address their trauma so healing can happen. Michael is an advocate for awareness, prevention, education, and training on PTSI and First Responder Suicide Prevention.  He is a peer volunteer at the WCPR and an Ambassador for the Save a Warrior program and discusses both of these programs in our conversation.  Michael talks about a fatal shooting he was involved in shortly after promoting to Sergeant.  He discussed the duality of the instant change in his personality and the more gradual onset of symptoms.  Michael discusses feeling detached and emotionally number immediately following the shooting, and how he slowly became less sympathetic and empathic towards others. Michael discusses how he suffered in silence for four years…divorce, health issues, a federal lawsuit, grieving his father's death, and his friends suicide attempt, which he credits to saving his life and what propelled his path to healing. Some of the highlights of our discussion include: Michaels healing path.  West Coast Post Trauma Retreat (WCPR), Save a Warrior, therapy, prescription medication, support group meetings, and a medical procedure called Stellate Ganglion Block or SGB. Agency betrayal and Moral Injury.  This is a big piece of his book and Michael says that often times this is what puts people over the edge, and in his case, he attributes moral injury and the treatment by his agency to his change in personality.  In the book Michael recounts the countless ways in which his fatal shooting, while his defining incident, was compounded by media accounts, court proceedings, lack of a structure in which OIS were handled internally, and isolation.  Stigma.  Michael suggests the only way to overcome stigma is continuing to talk about it and we need to have the courage and strength to have these vulnerable conversations.  Try new things.  Michael says, be willing to try new things.  EMDR didn't work for him, but he knows its worked wonders for others.  Retirement.  Michael says it is possible to retire health from a full first responder career and discussing the human side of what we go through our career is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Michael reminds us that healing is a life long journey; this is a reality, and not intended to discourage.  We all fall back; we can all get triggered, but when we do, there is support.

We're going to discuss choosing growth over trauma, the importance of nutrition, and the power of setting boundaries and taking responsibility. No matter what challenges you've faced in your life, Tana's empowering approach can help you heal. Enjoy!  In this episode you'll discover: What you should know about sourcing high-quality olive oil.  The implications of a high adverse childhood experiences score.

David Grossman, best-selling author of On Killing and On Combat as “one of the most important books of our time” and “the natural successor to On Combat. www.stellacenter.comwww.docshaunaspringer.comRELENTLESS COURAGE: Winning the Battle Against Frontline TraumaShauna 'Doc' Springer on the human impact of first responder trauma

Trigger Warning: Suicide and Violence You may not know that suicide kills more first responders each year than die in the line of duty. This is one of many things that need to change. This book, Relentless Courage, was written with this fact in mind. It's co-authored by Doc Shauna Springer and Michael Sugrue, formerly a member of an elite Air Force squad and a veteran police officer It was only during his police experience and after that Michael was pummeled by the incessant nightmares and flashbacks of PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.  Relentless Courage tells his story so that other first responders can know they are not alone in their mental and emotional struggle. Doc Springer and Michael also want you to know that this story and its powerful message has nothing to do with choosing “sides” - or the belief that you either side with the police or with the protestors. That does not need to be. Instead, there can be compassion for all – so that solutions – ideas for positive change – can emerge from compassion for all.. In fact, their efforts are trying to help those of us who aren't first responders to feel – to recognize – the trauma that those that serve face every day. And to build into the police culture that their personal trauma and injury needs to be recognized – so that there can be support while they're serving as police. If you have trauma or violence in your past, please listen with caution. Yet I offer this episode for this patriotic weekend – as we all move forward to understand the pain of all trauma - and strive for compassion and understanding, instead of distrust and disdain. And if you are or know a first responder, this might be the episode they most need to hear.

Today's guest is so special and rapidly becoming one of my favourite humans. We're talking to Traver Boehm again today, originally featured for an epic conversation back on episode 266 - a personal favourite and one of the most powerful episodes on the entire Room To Grow™ Podcast. Never have I received an outpouring of so much incredible feedback about a guest episode, and ever since we mentioned back on episode 266 that we would record a second one, I've had DMs and text messages demanding to know when the new one was being released. As you can tell by the title, this is another casual chat about some super light topics, ha! This conversation will leave you better than before you started listening, if you allow it. It will challenge you to think differently, to see the world through a different lens, and to question the way you show up. It may or may not also be the first time a guest and I have BOTH cried on an episode, so you know it must be a good one.    Traver Boehm is an author of two books, 2 time TEDx Speaker, men's coach and founder of the UNcivilized Men's Movement, which is radically redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both primal elements of manhood with massive doses of consciousness. Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches people to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change. In 2016 after losing a pregnancy, his marriage, and his business partnership all within weeks of each other, he created a radical social experiment and spent the next 12 months as if it were his last year to live, aptly naming it “The Year to Live Project.” A few topics we cover today: How to have conversations with people that can be highly triggering as you step onto your own path, and embark on your own journey that may likely go against the grain for many others around you  The unique challenges that can come with those conversations, including the likelihood of losing a lot of relationships too Why you have to keep showing up with courage every single day if you're going to get to where you're going, whatever that might look like for you AND to hang on to the little moments that will continue to propel you forward even when everything else might feel dark. And so much more….   If you're a human, this is not an episode to be missed. Traver has a powerful mission around what it means to be a man, and this is a topic that affects all of us, no matter how you identify. I urge you to check out Traver's work. His fantastic podcast, both of his books, men's group and the various exciting projects he's always juggling at any given time are transformative, and more people need to know about him. Buckle up, tune in, and then go connect with Traver.   REFERENCES Episode 266: Not All Men, But Almost Always with Traver Boehm of Man UNcivilized Episode 117 | The 9 Year Affair: Lessons in Infidelity Episode 54 | My Story with Alcohol   CONNECT WITH TRAVER Website Instagram: @traverboehm UNcivilized Nation Book: Man UNcivilized Podcast: The UNcivilized Podcast with Traver Boehm TEDx Talk: How to Make Pain Your Guru TEDx Talk: Why We Need More UNcivilized Men   FIND EMILY ONLINE: IG: @emilygoughcoach info@emilygoughcoaching.com Emily Gough Coaching Room to Grow Podcast     Questions?  Comments?
