About this listen

Heartbeat Debrief is the podcast for the ones who don’t clock out when the shift ends — medics, nurses, and frontline clinicians who carry stories that don’t always have words. Hosted by ICU nurse and critical care paramedic Devin G, this show is a place to process the mess, honor the hard, and talk about what really happens behind the badge — the calls you don’t forget, the moments that shook you, and the small things that keep you going . Whether you work 911, critical care, or somewhere in between, you belong here. This is real talk — from the field to the floor.

Mission:

To create an honest, reflective space for nurses, EMS professionals, and frontline healthcare workers to process their experiences, connect through shared struggle, and feel seen beyond the job title.

Vision:

To humanize healthcare by sharing stories from the field to the floor — amplifying the voices of those who keep showing up shift after shift.

    From EMS to Nursing
    Jan 1 2026

    In today's episode of the Heartbeat Debrief, the host reflects on a career shaped by EMS, military service, humanitarian work, and the transition into nursing and the NICU. This episode explores the emotional weight healthcare workers carry long after the shift ends—how dark humor, silence, and “pushing through” become survival tools, and why that culture often leaves little room for vulnerability. Through personal stories from the back of an ambulance to the bedside of critically ill newborns, this episode sets the foundation for the podcast: a space to process what we don’t chart, to bridge the worlds of EMS and nursing, and to remind healthcare workers that strength doesn’t mean carrying it all alone.
