About this podcast

Shell Shocked and Sam Spilled:The Wives Behind the Badge is a podcast for the women loving the world's heroes... while quietly carrying the weight at home. Hosted by first responders wives Shell and Sam, this show is about the life no one prepares you for - the late nights, the missed moments, the emotional aftershocks and the strength it takes to hold everything together. We share real, raw, unscripted moments about marriage, motherhood, fear, pride, exhaustion, faith and the silent sacrifices no one sees. This isn't about perfection its about reminding you that you are seen, and never alone.
