Episode 128: From Burnout to Breakthrough — How Kory Pearn Built CRACKYL Magazine and a New Model for Firefighter Wellness
When passion becomes overdrive, the crash can be devastating. In this episode, Cinnamon sits down with firefighter, captain, and CRACKYL magazine founder Kory Pearn, who shares his story of burnout, recovery, and rebuilding from the inside out.
Kory opens up about the moment his body forced him to stop, how he redefined strength through boundaries, and why real resilience starts before crisis hits. Together, they talk about the slow boil of stress in public safety, the cost of self-neglect, and how CRACKYL is changing the conversation about firefighter wellness—one honest story at a time.
If you’ve ever given too much of yourself to the job (or to anyone), this episode will hit home.
