WhatMakesUsFire
WhatMakesUsFire is more than a podcast—it's a powerful exploration into the hearts and minds of Firefighters, Civil Service Members, and Active/Retired Military Personnel, as well as everyone who stands beside them. We go beyond the uniforms and titles to uncover the deep-rooted drive that compels these extraordinary individuals to sacrifice themselves for others, even when every single one of them is uniquely different.
In each episode, we’ll dive into their personal stories, values, struggles, and triumphs, revealing what truly fuels their fire. And we’re not just talking about the physical demands of the job—we're tackling the real, raw, and often hidden side of their mental health. We will not shy away from it. In fact, we are committed to shattering the stigma around mental health and speaking openly and unapologetically about it.
Join us as we take the first step toward breaking down the walls, opening up the conversation, and making mental health ok to talk about—for those who serve, and for everyone who supports them.

Nova - "I Am The Feral Chicken!"
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd WE ARE BACK!!!!
What better way to start off the New Year with one of the most high energy people I know. Ms. Nova, better know as Nova.Kayne on her social media accounts.
A former paramedic of 12 years, her and I sit down and hash it out about her childhood, finding her way into the first responder realm of life, and; why the hell are you the "Feral Chicken?"
Nova has a knack of aggressive positivity, and when I say aggressive, I mean you will not know whether or not to cry or be really happy.
WhatMakesUsFire Family please help me welcome my friend "The Feral Chicken" Ms. Nova Kayne.
