Episode 130: Out of the Warzone and Into the Water — Gage Hall on Stoke Therapy, Joy, and Healing in Motion
What happens when the battlefield follows you home?
In this powerful conversation, Cinnamon sits down with Gage Hall—Army veteran, firefighter, EMT, and founder of Stoke Therapy—to explore what real healing looks like when traditional therapy isn’t enough.
After years of combat service and the invisible wounds that came with it, Gage discovered that healing doesn’t always happen in an office. It happens in motion—on the water, on the trail, and surrounded by people who understand.
Stoke Therapy blends adventure sports, nature, and mental health principles to help first responders and veterans rediscover joy, connection, and purpose. Gage shares how the ocean became his therapist, why community matters more than perfection, and how play can be one of the most powerful medicines we have.
This isn’t just a story about surviving trauma—it’s about rewriting what recovery can look like.
