Addiction, Forgiveness & Fighting for Love

Descripción

Chris and Katie share their raw and deeply personal journey through addiction, trauma, codependency, recovery, and rebuilding their marriage after years of chaos. As co-authors of Coloring Outside the Lines and founders of Love Through the Gray, Katie and Chris open up about opiate addiction, emotional healing, forgiveness, therapy, spirituality, and learning how to survive the darkest moments together instead of walking away. This is an honest conversation about pain, resilience, mental health, relationships, sobriety, and what healing really looks like behind closed doors. If you’ve ever struggled with addiction, loved someone battling it, or fought to rebuild your life after everything fell apart — this episode will hit home. * Love Through the Gray [https://www.lovethroughthegray.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] * The KIDD & Friends Podcast YouTube * The KIDD & Friends Podcast on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/3Vq2FukqE5SYDydJO9ruLK?utm_source=chatgpt.com] 🔗 Stay connected & join the journey: 📍 TikTok: @thekiddandfriendspodcast 📍 Instagram: @dynamokidd [https://www.instagram.com/dynamokidd] | @thekiddandfriendspodcast [https://www.instagram.com/thekiddandfriendspodcast] 📍 X (Twitter): @dynamokidd [https://twitter.com/dynamokidd] 📍 LinkedIn: Christopher Perry [https://linkedin.com/in/christopher-perry-82796317a] 💥 Support the podcast & explore these awesome resources: AMENTARA — https://www.amentara.com [https://www.amentara.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Amentara is an ethnobotanical marketplace and education hub focused on ethical sourcing, transparent info, and helping you make informed choices.

Fireman Rob: Service, Sacrifice, and Mental Strength

For more than 26 years, Robert Verhelst, better known as Fireman Rob, has dedicated his life to serving others. A career firefighter, U.S. Air Force veteran, author, speaker, coach, Ironman athlete, Guinness World Record holder, and founder of the Fireman Rob Foundation, Rob has built a life around resilience, leadership, and purpose. In this episode of The Kidd & Friends Podcast, we dive into the realities of life as a first responder, the mental health challenges firefighters face, and why true leadership begins with taking ownership of your life. Rob also shares the mission behind his foundation, which provides books, teddy bears, and life-changing character education to children across the country. We also discuss why "balance" is a myth, how resilience is developed through adversity, and what schools should be teaching our kids that often gets overlooked. Whether you're a first responder, parent, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone striving to become a stronger person, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and inspiration. In this episode: * Rob's journey from the U.S. Air Force to a 26-year firefighting career * The mental health realities of first responders * PTSD, resilience, and overcoming adversity * Leadership through ownership and accountability * Why "life balance" doesn't exist * Building stronger children through character education * The Fireman Rob Foundation and its mission * Helping kids through books, teddy bears, and hope * Coaching leaders to perform under pressure * Finding purpose through service Fireman Rob Links 🌐 Website: https://www.firemanrob.com [https://www.firemanrob.com/] 📚 Foundation: https://www.firemanrob.com/firemanrobfoundation [https://www.firemanrob.com/firemanrobfoundation] 🎙️ Forged in the Fires Podcast: https://www.firemanrob.com/podcast 📘 Books: https://www.firemanrob.com/books 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firemanrob 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/firemanrob 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/firemanrob [https://www.linkedin.com/in/firemanrob] ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FiremanRob 🔗 Stay connected & join the journey: 📍 TikTok: @thekiddandfriendspodcast 📍 Instagram: @dynamokidd [https://www.instagram.com/dynamokidd] | @thekiddandfriendspodcast [https://www.instagram.com/thekiddandfriendspodcast] 📍 X (Twitter): @dynamokidd [https://twitter.com/dynamokidd] 📍 LinkedIn: Christopher Perry [https://linkedin.com/in/christopher-perry-82796317a] 💥 Support the podcast & explore these awesome resources: AMENTARA — https://www.amentara.com [https://www.amentara.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Amentara is an ethnobotanical marketplace and education hub focused on ethical sourcing, transparent info, and helping you make informed choices.
