In this episode, we sit down with Scott May — former Army and Police — to unpack a journey shaped by service, trauma, and what happens when the job is no longer there.

After years of chasing adrenaline and building an identity around the role, Scott found himself facing injury, loss, and the reality of life beyond the uniform.

🚨Available now 🚨

In this episode, we sit down with a paramedic who opens up about the realities behind the uniform — from a challenging childhood to the cumulative weight of trauma, and what happens when identity becomes tied to the job.

This is a raw and honest conversation about suicidality, PTSD, and the pressure of emergency service work, but more importantly, it’s about what comes next.

We dive into:

✅️ The danger of tying your entire identity to the job

✅️ Why “redundancy” outside of work isn’t optional — it’s essential

✅️ The reality of post-traumatic stress vs post-traumatic growth

✅️ What recovery actually looks like while still in the job

✅️ The importance of connection, vulnerability, and having people in your corner

This episode isn’t about fear — it’s about awareness, ownership, and building a life that can withstand the job, not be defined by it.

“I realised I’d built my whole life around one thing… and when that was under threat, everything collapsed.”

This is a conversation about what happens when the job becomes your identity — and how to rebuild when that identity cracks.

Not just survival.
Growth.

We spoke about life as a paramedic, Identity, transition out of service roles, councelling and more.

We’re usually the ones helping the community when others need help — not asking for it ourselves.

But the studio space we’ve been using for Behind the Badge is due to be demolished later this year, and we’re looking for a new place to record.

We’re hoping to find a quiet, private space where we can continue having these important conversations around service, resilience, and wellbeing.

If you own a space, know someone who does, or work somewhere that might be open to helping — we’d love to hear from you.

We’re incredibly grateful for any support or leads.
