💡 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode

1. Trauma is cumulative, not occasional. The daily drip of car crashes, fires, and shootings takes its toll, even if you think you’ve “moved on.”
2. Support can’t wait until tragedy strikes. Every newsroom needs proactive mental health resources, not just temporary help after mass events.
3. You don’t have to stay stuck. There are resources, networks, and new career paths waiting beyond TV news.
