027: Finding Stillness After the Fire - Kate Duncan
Description
Kate Duncan’s career took her from firefighting in the US to paramedicine in Australia — high-intensity roles that left lasting scars. With Anxiety, hypervigilance, and self-diagnosed PTSD creeping in, Kate discovered that mindfulness wasn’t a quick fix, but a powerful path to recovery.
In this conversation, Kate opens up about:
Her journey through trauma and burnout in emergency services
Why mindfulness and meditation became life-changing tools
Building programs that support frontline workers and veterans in recovery and prevention
What resilience looks like when you rebuild life on new terms
This is a story of courage, healing, and the strength that comes from being still.
