The Courage of Caring with Cynthia Hamilton Urquhart
Manage episode 459775521 series 2804336
Today, I welcome Cynthia Hamilton Urquhart, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, to discuss her powerful journey from trauma to advocacy. After serving 25 years in law enforcement and battling PTSD, Cynthia found her voice as a speaker championing mental health awareness for first responders.
Her story reminds us that caring takes courage and that supporting those who protect our communities requires understanding the human experience behind the badge.
In our conversation, we’ll explore:
Why her motivation to protect others started in childhood
The challenge of constantly switching between traumatic work experiences and normal family life as a first responder
The importance of self-care as a foundation for being able to help others
Her current favorites: Book: Braiding Sweetgrass, Speaker: Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Podcast: Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee

Her first appearance on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 636
