Sunday in July

I wanted to share a call I went on as an AEMT working for a fire department at the time. Ultimately this lead me to change jobs, effected my life, etc.

I did this on a whim, my first run, a 5K. I'm sharing my story and aftermath from not training, over exertion, and poor judgement.

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Life is full of the ups and downs, even on a birthday. But what's your stance on it? is it all too horrible to even be grateful to God for what you do have? Idk some thoughts from my life recently.

July 2020

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 8 Sep 2025 18:00:00 +0000

The mindset of saving someone instead of realizing I don’t save anyone, I’m not Jesus, Superman, etc, I’m human. I would merely give someone a better chance of living until they’d get to a hospital.

Special K

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Thu, 4 Sep 2025 23:00:00 +0000

My ketamine therapy experience. Hoping this helps answer some questions or concerns someone might have towards this type of treatment.

Bus Driver

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Wed, 9 Jul 2025 08:40:00 +0000

Good people come and go. It’s part of life, a bit bitter at times, sad in a way. Move forward.

Still Here

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Despite the worst, you, me, survived our worst day(s). You maybe didn't think you would during that time. I shared some of the story of Angela Hernandez from 2018, you can hear more of it on CBSNews.com.

Salvador

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 01:00:00 +0000

My family's origin....well sort of. The whole point of this shit episode is to try to say is sometimes yes it is ok to be secretive sometimes and some its not.

P.S. Jed

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 12:30:00 +0000

A conclusion to the "Dear Jed" message from the last episode. Please beware, trigger warning. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to "988".

Dear Jed.......

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 20:25:00 +0000

Sitting down with myself. Talking to myself, Jed, where I am and where I am going. Figuring it out. Please be kind to yourselves. Love yourselves, flaws and all.

Darkness my old friend

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 01:40:00 +0000

my constant companion over the last 5 plus years in life. It's hard to describe it but it's been a great hindrance from enjoy the here and now. The life that could/should be happy is often dark, gloomy.

State of mind

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Thu, 3 Apr 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Reach out to 988 if you or someone you know needs help with mental health. This just me reflecting on what I have been in a struggle with.

Journey of Broke Brown man

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:30:00 +0000

This mental health journey has been a huge struggle for me. There have been numerous doctor visits, telehealth appointments between work breaks. Medication adjustments again and again. This is my story of how it started and how its been. Hopefully this can help someone in a similar situation.

Lost

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 22:30:00 +0000

Being lost can mean being found to some extent. Lost and Found.

Let the Dead Bury the Dead

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 02:25:00 +0000

This is episode is with regards to my Grandmother's recent passing. It is not intended to be a way to condone someone passing away. It is however a way for me to reflect and close a chapter in my life sort of speak. Please reach out to your loved ones and let them know they matter.

It's Enough

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sat, 7 Dec 2024 21:00:00 +0000

A few things I've been reflecting on from relationships with so called family, relatives, to work and success. Please realize life is one day at a time. Breathe, it'll be ok.

Same Old Shit

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 01:55:00 +0000

One step forward, two steps back. Falling back into entertaining shit, things, people, that I know aren't good for me. Here's the details. Jeezy Forreal?

Self Love

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 7 Oct 2024 17:00:00 +0000

Talking about my personal struggle of straying from something simple. Selfcare isn't being selfish. It is necessary to be your 100% self. Make time for it.

Cut you off

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 23:30:00 +0000

Who do you have in your circle? is it someone that is supportive? positive? helpful? loyal? It can be a tough thing to let go of someone you are attached to. But if the juice is not worth the squeeze....think about it.

Israel

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 01:00:00 +0000

The uncertain is a scary place. I was reflecting on my leaving Egypt story from these last 6 months. Growing out of a thing, or place, situation, job, relationship, letting it go is often for the best. Embrace it.

Week After

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 20 May 2024 02:00:00 +0000

Grateful I survived such a dark time in my life. Thank you to my family, my sister. My old friend from a previous job. It is such a strange thing to be able to listen back to this from a year ago. At the time I didn't feel right sharing this, now I do.

Growth

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 13 May 2024 00:30:00 +0000

Being consistent sometimes looks like a waste of time from the outside.

Check

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 01:15:00 +0000

Through the simple single moves we make, we don't always realize the enormity of those collectively. Failure can be the greatest teacher.

Unlearn

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 01:35:00 +0000

It is interesting how our experiences good or bad can shape our view of our lives, and what we accomplish.

RCA

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 03:15:00 +0000

The toughest thing I had to physically go through was becoming a Firefighter. Here is my experience with going through the RCA, Class 78. Sometimes God will tell you through the obstacles in front of you what to do.

May 1st

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 01:30:00 +0000

A very difficult day in May of this year. If you know anyone that needs help, needs to talk to someone please reach out to 988.

After Prime

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 1 Oct 2023 23:30:00 +0000

After over a year of getting back to a good spot, I wanted to share my departure experience at Amazon.

Hiatus

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

It's been so long since I recorded something. Stay tune for more.

Mind Games

Lord we Know what we are

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (JeezyForreal, Jed Martinez) — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Lord we know what we are we don't know what we may be.

It is what it is

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez, JeezyForreal) — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Perhaps it’s empathy or the fact that I’ve felt what it’s like to hurt from being sad, lonely, broke, forgotten, that makes me want to do something?

Nothing without the Certs

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (JeezyForreal, Jed Martinez) — Sat, 8 Apr 2023 23:50:00 +0000

Is your worth defined by your job status? education? or does the type of values and characteristics you have and are, matter more?

No Apologies

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (JeezyForreal, Jed Martinez) — Sun, 2 Apr 2023 22:50:00 +0000

Is it ego? Is it not wanting to look weak? I took to heart some sound advice on how to deal with people close to me, who won't admit their wrong doing and ask forgiveness.

Wear The Crown

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (JeezyForreal, Jed Martinez) — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 01:40:00 +0000

Weary rest the head that wears the crown. Shout to Stephen Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

You are what you eat

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez, JeezyForreal) — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Are you struggling with a Black and White mindset? are you losing color to your life? Take a second and think about the beauty in the journey, hopefully you'll find something? Shout out to Dr Kristin Neff and her book "Self Compassion".

Taking The L

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (JeezyForreal, Jed Martinez) — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Taking the L in life sucks. Recently I've had to take the "L". It's a shitty feeling but perhaps some good can come from it?

Snakes are Snakes

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Fruitless Dream

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Mon, 6 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

A dream about looking and searching for fruit in the wrong places....

Utah Facade

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 5 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Living in a state that is predominately religious you'd think it would be a kinder, more accepting place, unfortunately it's not.

Beast Style

jed.martinez.02@gmail.com (Jed Martinez) — Sun, 5 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

This past week I tried out MrBeast Burgers. Here are my thoughts on the Virtual Restaurant and overall experience.
