Our moral compass is broke. Now that I get to go speak about it and I have a little show. And so it's not just I think that's what a lot of people forget.
Ever wondered how a hero copes after the sirens fade? Meet Chris Fields, a retired firefighter whose life changed forever during the Oklahoma City bombing. In this episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Chris to talk about the haunting image that made him famous—a photo of him tenderly holding a baby girl who lost her life in the bombing. This moment, while iconic, led Chris down a path of immense personal struggle.
From battling PTSD to turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism, Chris opens up about the dark times he faced and how he managed to find light again. Chris spent over three decades rushing to emergencies, but it was that single, heart-wrenching moment that shook him to his core. He shares how the trauma impacted his mental health and strained his family relationships. It took years for him to process the events and seek the help he desperately needed.
Today, Chris is in a better place, thanks in part to the strong bond he formed with the baby's mother—a relationship he considers a blessing. This episode isn't just about the hardships; it's also about resilience and growth. Chris talks about the importance of early support for first responders and the strength found in vulnerability and brotherhood. His story serves as a powerful reminder that no one has to face their struggles alone.
If you're looking for a raw, honest conversation about overcoming trauma and addiction, this episode is a must-listen. Chris's journey offers hope and practical advice for anyone facing similar battles.
