🎙️ Episode 227: Healing, Trauma & Purpose with Kemmi Saddler

Grab a copy of Chris's book, Echoes from the Street - A police officer's journey through trauma, recovery, and redemption.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with retired federal law enforcement leader Kemmi Saddler, whose life’s journey took her from high-risk international assignments to confronting trauma in deeply unexpected ways. Over a 26-year career as a Supervisory Special Agent with the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, Kemmi served in war zones and volatile environments — yet the hardest battles she faced were the ones fought long after leaving the field.

We also talk about Nona’s Way — the intentional walk Kemmi is preparing to undertake along the Camino de Santiago with her dog Nona. This 780-kilometer journey is dedicated to honoring first responders still carrying invisible wounds, and remembering those who didn’t make it home. Through every step, they hope to elevate conversations about mental health, resilience, and holistic paths to recovery.

This episode is for anyone who has ever struggled with hidden burdens, questioned conventional healing, or wondered what comes next after service — to others and to self.

Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion about courage, vulnerability, and the many paths toward reclaiming joy.
