My guest is Rick Ruppenthal, a mental health educator working with first responders and the military.

With 30 years of experience as a paramedic, Rick is on a mission to bring hope to all military and first-responder personnel who are suffering or not coping well.

Rick works with a non-prescriptive mental health understanding that we both share, called the 3 principles.

We discuss how to unlock resilience during a crisis, how to tap into a state of flow and stay receptive in the face of future threats.

We also speak about the body-mind connection, and how understanding the mind plays an important role in healing and recovery.

The second part of my conversation with Rick is in the next episode.
