About this listen

First responders are trained to run toward danger, protect our communities, and carry the weight of trauma most people will never see. But what happens after the call? After watch foundation is ran entirely by first responders for first responders to get you the support you need.

After the Call, the podcast dedicated to the stories and struggles behind the badge, the turnout gear, and the uniform..

Each week, we’ll bring you powerful conversations with first responders, mental health professionals, and advocates who are breaking the stigma, sharing their journeys, and offering real solutions. We’ll talk about PTSD, resilience, family impact, and the resources that can make a difference.

Because the job doesn’t just leave scars on the body — it affects the mind, the heart, and the people who serve alongside us. And no one should have to carry that burden alone.

This is After the Call — where you’ll find Strength through resilience.

  • After The Call: Audra Weeks

    After The Call: Audra Weeks
    Apr 2 2026

    In this episode, Audra Weeks, Patrick, and Veronica have an open and honest conversation about trauma, healing, and the paths that don’t always get talked about.

    They explore alternative forms of therapy, including experiences with psilocybin and ayahuasca, sharing how those forms of therapy have shaped their perspectives and forced them to confront parts of themselves they might have otherwise avoided. Their stories offer a real and grounded look at what healing can look like outside of traditional methods.

    At the heart of this episode is a powerful reminder—PTSD is not limited to first responders or the military. Trauma can come from many different life experiences, and every story is valid.

    This conversation isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being real, exploring growth, and recognizing that healing can take many different forms.
