Heroes on the Water with Laura Lindsey
About this episode
This episode explores how kayak fishing serves as a healing avenue for veterans and first responders dealing with PTSD and trauma.
Transitioning out of military or first responder life is rarely a straight path. The weight of cumulative trauma and PTSD can leave individuals feeling isolated, stressed, and disconnected from the communities they fought to protect. In this episode, host Donna Hoffmeyer sits down with Laura Lindsey, Development Director of Heroes on the Water , to explore a unique, powerful avenue for healing: kayak fishing. Laura shares how getting out on the water provides veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders with a calm environment to decompress, lower their stress levels, and safely reconnect with a community that understands their experiences. From the role of family in long-term recovery to the life-changing impact of alternative wellness, this conversation sheds light on what it truly takes to heal after the uniform.
