At 25, Todd McGuire's life changed forever when he discovered that his partner had taken her own life. Consumed by grief, guilt, and unanswered questions, he spent years trying to outrun the trauma.

What followed was a remarkable journey into the dangerous world of undercover policing where Todd adopted a new identity, infiltrated criminal networks, and repeatedly risked his life - all while battling PTSD, addiction, and his own inner demons.

In this raw and deeply honest conversation, Todd shares what trauma really looks like, why so many people suffer in silence, and how he eventually found a path toward healing, self-forgiveness, and hope. A powerful story of loss, resilience, and the courage to keep moving forward when life pulls the rug from beneath your feet.

Todd is the author of Donny: An Undercover Cop with a Death Wish, a memoir chronicling his extraordinary journey from trauma to healing.
