190 How Ex-Firefighter Billy Mac Found Hope After Trauma and Fire

WARNING: This episode contains talk around car crashes, fatalities, PTSD, and suicide. It's a great chat - and we have a lot of laughs amongst it, but it's real and it's raw - and if you're not in the right headspace to listen right now, you might want to give this one a skip.I've always wanted to get a firefighter on the podcast!  And then I met Billy Mac. He has lived through a lot! Ex-firefighter, ex-army, and now living with PTSD, CTE and a late ADHD diagnosis that kinda makes sense of the chaos he has carried for years. (I can relate!)In this episode, he shares the breakdowns that nearly ended him, the wife who saved him, the young blokes on the rugby field who keep him grounded, and why telling his story might just save someone else’s life too.Feel free to drop a comment below.
