Renae Mansfield
Renae is a former firefighter-paramedic turned Life and Wellness Coach who calls out the real reasons first responders burn out - and it’s not the job, it’s the leadership. She spent over a decade on the frontlines before burning out herself, physically and mentally, learning firsthand how toxic command culture can wreck even the toughest crews. Today, she runs Wayward Wellness Coaching, helping police and fire departments tackle the root causes of burnout instead of just throwing EAPs and wellness fliers at the problem. Her mission is to forge leaders who actually mentor, not micromanage. When she’s not shaking up old-school thinking, you’ll find her playing violin and singing in her band - because life’s too short to live by someone else’s blueprint.
