In this powerful episode of Mindstream, we sit down with Justin Dodge, a 28-year law enforcement veteran and active Metro SWAT officer in Denver, Colorado. In 2023, Justin lost his leg in the line of duty. But instead of stepping back, he stepped up — returning to full SWAT operational status just 11 months later. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about pain, perseverance, and the mental battle that comes after the physical one. Justin opens up about what it was like to hit bottom, the moments he struggled, and what he did to overcome. From darkness to discipline, from grief to grit, this episode is a masterclass in mental resilience. It’s okay to not be okay — but it’s not okay to stay there.
This conversation is a reminder that healing takes action, and mental health is a mission that requires backup.
