FROM CHALLENGE, EMBRACE CHANGE, CREATE EXTRAORDINARY! Do you work in a profession where you care for others but forget to care for yourself? Have you seen things that are difficult to forget, because of their painful impact on human life? Are you afraid to open up and share your thoughts and feelings? You are not alone… Life in emergency services work can be equally rewarding as it can be physically and emotionally draining. You not only witness those who are in their most vulnerable moments, but you're also required to take responsibility, intervene and make intelligent decisions in often panic-filled environments. Can you imagine not being affected with all this when you go back home? It's not a switch that can be turned on and off. It gets worse when you feel judged for getting emotional about your experiences. Sometimes you feel you can no longer do the job you love. But what happens when you take those challenges, embrace changes that help maintain your sanity, and create an extraordinary life of your choosing? 'My Faded Uniform' tells the story, of how, from the challenges and adversity of PTSD, you can learn to speak up without shame, share your story to help others choose a new direction and create an exciting future! You do not need to be a victim of your circumstances.

Because by knowing that you are not alone, the journey through PTSD can become less painful and the possibility of living life with happiness again can become more real. That's what she wants to make available for others out there by sharing her story.
