The Hidden Struggles of Linemen & Men in the Trades

The powerline industry is built on toughness, resilience, and hard work—but what happens when that toughness comes at the cost of mental health? In this episode of Powerline Podcast, I sit down with psychotherapist Hayley Booker, whose deep understanding of the trade (thanks to her lineman father) gives her a unique perspective on the mental health challenges men in the industry face.

We discuss:

• The stigma around mental health in the trades
• Why men feel they have to “earn the right” to open up
• The consequences of emotional suppression and burnout
• Practical tools for managing stress, self-talk, and resilience
• How to create a culture where men can talk about what’s really going on

If you or someone you know is struggling, this conversation is for you. Let’s start breaking the silence.

In this powerful episode of the Powerline Podcast, Ryan Lucas sits down with Alyssa Sanchez, a courageous line wife whose husband survived a devastating 62-foot bucket fall while on the job. Alyssa opens up about the harrowing day of the accident, the critical injuries her husband sustained, and the profound impact it had on their lives.

Together, they discuss the importance of safety in the lineman industry, the gaps that need to be addressed, and her passionate mission to raise awareness about lineman falls. This episode is not just a story of resilience—it’s a call to action for improved safety protocols and a deeper understanding of the risks linemen face every day.

Kaycee Feild, a living legend in the world of rodeo, is a six-time Bareback Riding World Champion whose name is synonymous with unparalleled talent and fearless determination. Born and raised in Spanish Fork, Utah, Kaycee was practically born in the saddle. From a young age, he was drawn to the adrenaline rush and raw excitement of rodeo, honing his skills on the back of bucking broncos with a passion that knew no bounds.

Kaycee's journey to rodeo stardom is a testament to his unwavering dedication and unyielding spirit. With countless hours of training and sheer determination, he rose through the ranks, leaving a trail of victories in his wake. His unparalleled talent and fearless approach to bareback riding have earned him a rightful place among the sport's elite, with an impressive collection of six World Champion titles to his name.

Beyond the glitz and glory of the arena, Kaycee is a humble cowboy at heart, grounded by his love for family, faith, and the Western way of life. Through triumphs and setbacks, he remains a beacon of inspiration for aspiring cowboys and rodeo enthusiasts worldwide, proving that with passion, perseverance, and a whole lot of grit, anything is possible in the arena of life. Join me as I sit down with Kaycee Feild to uncover the stories, challenges, triumphs, and lessons behind his illustrious rodeo career, and discover what it truly means to be a champion in the world of rodeo.

This is Kaycee’s second appearance on Powerline Podcast with his first being episode number 88. If you’d like to dive deeper into who Kaycee is and what it takes to build a winning mindset, I’d highly recommend listening to his first episode as well.
