   The Sweet Tea Odyssey — Catherine Mann on Writing Disability, Service Dogs and the Fight for Access Rights

   Catherine Mann spent ten years volunteering with a service dog training organisation in South Carolina before she ever wrote a word of The Sweet Tea Odyssey. That experience, combined with watching her mother navigate life in a wheelchair, gave her a story she felt compelled to get right. The Sweet Tea Odyssey follows three generations of women evacuating during a hurricane, with a service dog at the centre of it all. Woven alongside that present day story is the true history of the 1990 Wheels of Justice march, the moment disability advocates crawled up the Capitol steps and changed American law forever. In this conversation Catherine shares the real world behind the story, the training, the heartbreak, the advocacy, and why she believes the service dog industry needs regulation, not just good intentions.

   Breaking the Silence — Steve Serbic on First Responder Mental Health, the 2:30am Moment and Why Asking for Help is Not Weakness.

   Steve Serbic spent decades as a Fire Chief watching colleagues, friends, and his own brother lose their battles with mental health. He became one of Canada’s most recognised voices on first responder wellness, talking people back from ledges, doing crisis interventions, and eventually standing on stages across North America and Europe to say what most men in his position never would: I live with depression. In this episode, Steve talks openly about the losses that shaped him, the chaplain who changed his life, the 2:30am panic attack where Goose sensed it from two floors below, and why he believes asking for help is not weakness — it’s the bravest thing a person can do. If you’re struggling, you are not alone. 988 — North America | 116 123 — UK | 13 11 14 — Australia
