In this episode, host Jeremy Reymer sits down with Becky Schmitz, Executive Director of Vikingland Community Support Program and creator of the Mental Health Toolbox, for a conversation centered on mental well-being in the trucking industry.
They unpack the hidden toll isolation, irregular routines, and chronic stress can take on drivers and why small, consistent habits matter. Becky shares how a simple check-in method, such as HALT, can become a powerful tool for self-awareness and how her red toolbox is helping to reframe the mental health conversation in unexpected ways.
Listen to this conversation where they explore the importance of staying connected, the connection between food and mood, and what it means to normalize asking for help in an industry built on strength.
