Some interviews stay safely on the surface.

This one didn’t.

Legendary Chippewa Valley radio host John Murphy and I sat down with Strength in Service keynote speaker Tracy LaTourette—and what followed was one of the most honest, wide-open conversations I’ve ever been part of.

Tracy shared the victories. The struggles. The pressure of pushing into places women hadn’t gone before. And what it has taken to keep finding her way through the hard parts of life.

Her candor was so refreshing. So, whether you’ve served in uniform, led others, fought your own private battles or simply wondered if you have what it takes for whatever comes next—there is something in this conversation for you.

This is only a taste of what Tracy will bring when she takes the stage at the 2026 Strength in Service Summit.

And trust me—you’re going to want to hear this.

Behind every badge is a human being.

In this episode, Toni sits down with Joe Collins, Bill Mazur, and Josh Vadell of Sentinel Resilience Solutions for an honest conversation about the human side of service—the part most people never see.

Together, they explore why asking for help can be so difficult, what real resilience looks like, and why healing often begins long before a crisis. They share practical insights about trust, leadership, recovery, and the simple things that help people find hope again.

Whether you're a first responder, veteran, healthcare professional, leader, or simply someone carrying more than you've let on, this conversation is a reminder that you were never meant to carry life's weight alone.

Joe, Bill, and Josh will also be joining us at this year's Strength in Service Summit, where they'll continue these important conversations in person.

What has to happen before healing can even begin?

In this conversation, Toni sits down with Pastor Paul Berthiaume, Lead Pastor of Jacob's Well Church in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, for an honest conversation about three things that shape every one of us, and our journey of change and healing:

Our mindset. Our honesty. And our environment.

Together, they explore why the stories we tell ourselves matter, why honesty is often the first courageous step toward healing, and how the people and environments we choose can either help us grow...or quietly hold us back.

Pastor Paul also shares two simple but powerful ideas that will stay with you long after our conversation ends: The Power of Replacement and the truth that healthy things grow.

Whether you're feeling stuck, searching for hope, or simply trying to become a healthier version of yourself, you'll find practical wisdom, biblical truth, and encouragement you can begin applying today.

Pastor Paul will also be joining us again this year at the Strength in Service Summit, where he'll continue encouraging veterans, first responders, their families, and our entire community.

Because healthy things grow.
