446. A Different Path to Healing - Angela Skudin & the 343 Fund

Jeremy sits down with Angela Skudin, founder of the Casey Skudin 343 Fund, to talk about her journey from severe, unexplained illness and chronic pain to reclaiming her health through advocacy, detox-focused wellness, and alternative therapies—including Iboga/Ibogaine and other integrative approaches.

Angela shares what it was like being misdiagnosed, pushed toward surgeries that didn’t make sense, and navigating overwhelming medical costs while married to an FDNY firefighter. The conversation turns deeply personal as she describes the tragic loss of her husband, FDNY firefighter Casey Skudin, and how the support shown by first responders in that moment inspired her to build the 343 Fund.

The 343 Fund helps first responders and their spouses pursuing treatment for trauma, addiction, TBIs, and cumulative stress, emphasizing that healing isn’t a single event—it’s the integration, coaching, and community support that follows. Angela also explains why this work is gaining momentum nationwide and how firefighters are helping lead that conversation.
