Hey, I’m Athena.
Active firefighter. CrossFit coach. Fire academy instructor at Monterey Peninsula College. And someone who has spent years helping women go from “I think I want to do this” to actually getting the job.
This community exists because when I came up, there wasn’t a space like this. There wasn’t a woman who’d done it, waiting to show you the way. I had to figure a lot of it out the hard way.
You don’t have to.
Here’s what this community is for:
• Women who are curious about becoming a firefighter and don’t know where to start
• Women actively training for their CPAT who want real guidance
• Women in the hiring process or fire academy who need support
• Women who just want to get strong and are drawn to this world
Here’s what we’re NOT:
• A place where you’ll be told it’s too hard
• A place where you have to pretend to have it all together
• A place where your questions are dumb
To get started, drop a comment below and tell us:
1. Where are you in the process?
2. What’s your biggest challenge or fear right now?
3. What’s your why — why do you want this?
I read every single one. This community is small on purpose right now — because I want to actually know you, not just have followers.
Welcome to the team. Let’s get to work. 🔥
