We’re continuing Season 11 of Sirens, Slammers and Service with a powerhouse conversation you won’t forget. 💥
This episode features Dawn Taylor—trauma specialist, straight-shooter, and client proclaimed “ass kicker, hope giver.” Dawn shares a raw, deeply personal story of surviving a brain aneurysm and going on to achieve a lifelong dream: skiing. That moment sparks a real-time reflection with host Nikki Cloutier on how accomplishment can feel wildly different in the moment versus in hindsight.
We dig into trauma, mental health, and fighting for yourself—covering Dawn’s unapologetically unconventional stance on psychological credentialing, long-term disability for first responders, and why physical healing must be part of trauma recovery. From “rage work” to “tiny actions,” Dawn explains the tools she uses to create real change, her no-filter coaching style, and how her own trauma fuels her mission.
This episode is bold, honest, and challenging—in the best way. And it’s only the beginning of Season 11. Trust us… there’s a lot more heat coming. 🎧🔥
