Not everyone who catches monsters wears a badge.
And not everyone who heals does it in silence.
We launched Undercover Dumpster Fire to talk about the kind of trauma that doesn’t always get processed—but sometimes gets painted, written, filmed, podcasted, or pushed down until it leaks out sideways.
These aren’t just interviews. They’re post-trauma mission briefs. And they’ve taken us to some powerful places lately:
An NYPD cop who worked the pile on 9/11, now turning the wreckage into performances on stage and screen
A DEA agent who tracked cartels and then wrote After Escobar to decompress
A retired police sniper processing his darkness through horror fiction
And now, JiDion—a YouTuber putting himself on the front lines of child predator stings with no badge, just conviction
🎙 From Wreckage to Creative Fire
There’s a pattern here. Trauma-exposed professionals—cops, feds, influencers—who walked through hell and came out with cameras, scripts, podcasts, books.
Why?
Because sometimes the only way out is through expression. Through creation. Through building something that honors the pain without letting it rule you.
But there’s a problem:
That fire, if unmanaged, burns people alive.
Especially the ones still working in the dark to protect others.
🔄 Enter: CLIMB Protocol
That’s why we built CLIMB Protocol—a structured, body-first reset framework for trauma professionals, first responders, veterans, and advocates.
CLIMB lives at Station Zero (Florida Keys) and Station 7600 (Colorado Rockies), and also travels through online peer support and resilience training.
We train those in the fight to:
Defuse and debrief after trauma exposure
Reset the nervous system through somatic drills
Rebuild strength and adaptability
Stay in mission without losing self
It’s not therapy. It’s real-world tactical recovery for people who can’t afford to crash.
👣 A Word to JiDion—and Anyone Like Him
To JiDion—and anyone doing high-impact justice work in the public eye—you matter. Your nervous system matters. Your recovery matters.
You don’t need to have a badge to carry trauma.
You don’t need to have a diagnosis to deserve recovery.
And you don’t need to carry this alone.
