Join us for an insightful conversation with Fire Captain Ely Rivera (Station 707, Buckeye, AZ) as he shares his journey through parenting, family, and faith while serving as a first responder. In this episode, Captain Rivera opens up about the emotional tension many firefighters and first responders carry home—and how being physically present doesn’t always mean being emotionally available.
Through honest reflection, lived experience, and practical fatherhood advice, he discusses overcoming the challenges of balancing a demanding career with intentional family life. His story offers encouragement for men navigating leadership, responsibility, and faith, reminding fathers that strong families are built through awareness, presence, and purpose—both at work and at home.
This conversation isn’t about guilt.
It’s about awareness, growth, and intentional fatherhood.
Ely shares honest reflections on:
Why first responders struggle to “turn it off” at home
The difference between providing protection and providing presence
How kids feel distance long before words are ever spoken
The quiet mindset shifts that help fathers reconnect without losing their identity
If you’re a firefighter, law enforcement officer, or first responder trying to balance duty, leadership, and family — this clip will hit close to home.
