#40: John Vargo - Healing First Responders Through Meditation & Mindfulness

John Vargo is the founder of Turn In (www.turnin.life), a non-profit organization that brings meditation and mindfulness practices to active duty and retired first responders. Day after day, year after year, the toll of responding to traumatic medical, fire, and police calls, combined with lack of sleep, leads many first responders into a prolonged state of depression and anxiety. To suppress the stream of mental anguish, first responders often turn to substance abuse, explosive and angry responses toward loved ones, nightmares and recounting traumatic calls which include: child fatalities, gruesome suicides and grieving families. Sadly, many nationwide studies have concluded that we lose more fire fighters annually to suicide than line of duty deaths. This is post-traumatic stress.

John offers free meditation to all first responders, military, and veterans every Wednesday at 12pm @Yoga Six/Solana Beach.

In this episode, John also shares:

  • The impact of meditation and mindfulness over the past 2 years and improved relationship with his family
  • His celebrating 6 months of sobriety
  • Ways to get involved and help support Turn In
