Today’s episode is a very special one. When you hear it, you’ll
understand why.

Laura
is a person of unbelievable strength and courage, and she’s someone
I have immense admiration and respect for.

If
you heard her story on the podcast a few years ago, you most
certainly remember it. She talked about the death of her little boy,
Anderson, in a hot car. Obviously, that alone is completely
devastating. But that horrible day was not done with her yet – she
was blindsided by even more bad news.

Laura
has come a long way since then. Of course she still deals with grief
and sadness; she’ll always have that in some form. But even back
when we originally spoke, she knew she needed to become an advocate
for back seat technology, to save other families from going through
the tragedy that she experienced. And she’s done that.

But
now – just wait til you hear the conversation that we recorded just
recently. She’s about to start a new chapter in her life, and I’m
so proud of her, and excited for what’s in store.

Today’s
episode comes with a content warning, for discussion of a death of a
child, and discussion of suicide.

Oh,
and in our recent update chat, which you’ll hear after her story, I
had another little surprise for Laura that she definitely wasn’t
expecting.

If
you’d like to contact Laura, she’s in the podcast Facebook group

Have you ever been in a situation where you walk into someone’s
home – someone you don’t know – and the person who lives there
is unconscious and actually dying?

Or,
have you ever come upon a car accident that just happened, and you
stop and try to help the people who are injured?

Or
how about this – have you ever actually saved someone’s life?

Most
people have never done any of those things. But guest on today’s
episode, Eric, has done all of them – and a whole lot more.

Eric’s
work as a paramedic in a big city took him into places and situations
that the average person would never see. And he has some stories.

As
you might guess, this episode needs a content warning for the
descriptions of some of the things Eric dealt with.

And
one of the wildest things he had to deal with happened on his very
first overnight shift.
