Sleep, Stress & the Science of Staying Grounded wi Sleep, Stress & the Science of Staying Grounded with Helen Dugdale
 In this episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service, Nikki sits down with Helen Dugdale—psychotherapist, science lover, and soon-to-be two-time author—to dig into the gut-brain connection, sleep, anxiety, and why your nervous system is calling the shots more than you think. 

Helen breaks down how sleep deprivation wrecks emotional control, why first responders can’t rely on gut instinct alone, and how mental fitness starts with simple habits: brain dumping before bed, getting your body moving, reinforcing self-worth, and learning to separate emotion from logic when the stakes are high. 

We chat about her book Put Insomnia to Sleep, her upcoming release Overcoming Anxiety, and real-world strategies anyone working shifts can start using tonight. 
If your sleep, stress, or mental bandwidth is stretched thin, this episode is for you.

When the Badge Comes Off: Identity, Sanctuary Trau When the Badge Comes Off: Identity, Sanctuary Trauma & Healing with Dr. Katherine Rolfe

In this powerful episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service, Nikki sits down with Dr. Katherine Rolfe, a registered psychologist and former member of both the military and the Edmonton Police Service, to explore the deeply personal journey of serving—and the challenges of stepping away after more than 20 years in uniform.

Dr. Rolfe shares the emotional landscape of leaving a first responder identity behind and explains how sanctuary trauma—organizational betrayal or lack of support—can intensify PTSD and drive burnout in even the strongest professionals. She offers straightforward, actionable guidance for those still in the job:

Get a therapist early—don’t wait until crisis hits.
Keep structure and work-life balance to maintain perspective.
Move the emotions through the body—running, physical activity, and movement matter.
Talk about what you go through, so isolation doesn’t take over.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in frontline service or supporting someone who is. Don’t miss this candid and validating conversation—and be sure to check out Balance Psychology to learn more about building resilience and protecting your mental health.
