I know in this episode I said I would post it after we released episode 45, but it was such a joy to meet such an inspirational individual that I hope all of our listeners get as much out of this episode as I did recording it.
------------
There are many jobs that deserve higher recognition than they are given, from nursing, to teaching, to safety personnel, all designed to better our society. In the world of wildland firefighting, their job is to save lives while also preserving the environment at the cost of their own protection.
In this Bonus Episode (one of many that will be released over the next several months), I talk with Lea Bossler, wildland firefighter and mental health advocate as she walks me through the unknown ‘extreme-ness’ of wildland firefighting in America.
From poor healthcare to mental and physical conditions that well exceed a 9-5 job, she explains in beautiful clarity what this profession means to her and those of her colleagues invested in ‘the mission’. This calling attracts many people with ADHD, which can be linked to trauma, but at the same time provides a community and brotherhood, whose bonds cannot be broken.
To learn more about Lea’s work, I highly suggestion reading her article available through Mystery Ranch called ‘What happens with your world ends?’

Also, please consider supporting the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which supports Wildland firefighters and their families when tragedies strike: https://wffoundation.org/
And finally, while I do mention that this is the second to last of our podcast episodes, in an ideal world we would love to do more. But to do so, we need your support. If you could follow us on Apple and Spotify and write a review, we would greatly appreciate it.

Ep. 36: Part I- Understanding Haredi and Hasidic Jewish Identity
*Apologies for the sound quality of this episode. We were having some difficulties with the mic, but the content is absolutely fine! Just make sure to keep the volume slightly quieter than usual.
When Dr Heather Munro initially approached me about her research on Haredi and Hasidic identity in London, New York, and Israel, I completely underestimated the complex web that makes up the ultra-orthodox community. To ‘simplify’ her work (although I use that term lightly) we decided to break apart her research into two parts with this first part examining the background history of the Haredi and Hasidic communities.
The goal with this episode is to better understand the roles that Haredi/Hasidic men and women play within their own environment so that we can discuss in Part II some members’ responses to the anti-vaxx movement within the Haredi community.
