  • Emergency Attachments: The Impacts of Attachment Styles on First Responders

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week, we're diving back into the deep end with Part Two of our attachment styles saga. If you missed the last episode, hit pause, scoot back, and catch up.

    We're zoning in on our first responder and how those deep-rooted attachment styles play out under the neon lights and sirens. It's all about the love, the leadership, and the life-saving in between.

    Attachment Styles 101: A Quick Recap
    Remember, folks, we've got secure (the cool, calm, collected type), anxious (the 'please text back' squad), avoidant (the 'I need space' crowd), and disorganized (a wild mix of both worlds). It's like the Avengers, but for feelings.


    Can You Teach an Old Dog New Tricks?
    Spoiler: YES. If you're wondering whether you're stuck with your attachment style like a bad tattoo, we've got good news. Changing these patterns is like upgrading your emotional software – it takes work, but oh boy, is it worth it.


    Erin and Cinnamon are all about turning those knee-jerk reactions into mindful responses. It's about owning your emotions, setting boundaries, and practicing what we call 'mindful parenting' (because little humans are a big deal). And hey, if you find yourself in a pickle, there's no shame in bringing in the pros. Therapy is like having a GPS for your soul.


    For the Leaders in the Room
    If you're rocking a badge of leadership or just stepping up to the plate, understanding attachment styles isn't just good for you – it's a game-changer for your crew. It's about leading with heart, understanding with depth, and navigating the stormy seas of human emotion like a pro.


    And Here's the Real Talk
    Change is tough. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone and getting cozy with the uncomfortable. But remember, this isn't just for you. It's for breaking those pesky cycles and paving a smoother path for the munchkins following in your footsteps.


    Let's get ready to ride through the world of attachment styles with a fresh set of eyes. It's all happening here, in our little corner of the podcast universe, where it's always about the heart of the matter.

  • Decoding Attachment: A Journey Through Attachment Styles

    Send us Fan Mail

    Get ready for this episode where we're diving deep into a topic that's been high on your request list: attachment styles. Following our chats on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and boundaries, we're thrilled to tackle how attachment styles tie into these themes.

    Attachment styles? What are they exactly? Well, they're basically the emotional blueprints we pick up early on in life from our main caregivers. We'll take you back to the roots of attachment theory, pioneered by folks like Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, and show you how it still matters today.


    From secure attachment to anxious, avoidant, and disorganized styles, we're breaking down the whole spectrum of how we relate to others. Whether it's seeking comfort, craving independence, or feeling all over the place emotionally, attachment styles are a big deal in shaping our connections.


    Join us as we unpack how attachment styles affect everything from how we talk to each other to how we handle conflicts and trust issues. And in our next episode, we're zooming in on how these styles play out in the lives of first responders, both on and off the job.


    So get ready for part two, where we're digging deeper into attachment styles and their real-life impact on first responders. We can't wait to keep this conversation going, and we hope you'll be tuning in for more! 

    For more information regarding attachment styles and attachment theory, we highly recommend:

  • Desperation to Inspiration: With Davin Cole

    Send us Fan Mail

    In the often unseen shadows of law enforcement, a weight is shouldered by officers — a weight composed of responsibility, sacrifice, and the silent battles waged within. Meet Davin, a seasoned 33-year law enforcement veteran, whose extraordinary journey is a testament to resilience and redemption. From the rigorous roles of K9 Handler to SWAT team member, Davin has not only witnessed but personally weathered the profound psychological toll that policing extracts.

    His narrative takes an unexpected turn, beginning with a severe dog bite during a routine training exercise, setting the stage for a life-altering ordeal. Chronic pain, surgeries, and an unforeseen descent into opioid addiction unfolded, leading Davin down the very streets he had vowed to protect. Yet, in the midst of adversity, Davin's story unfolds as a compelling testament to the human spirit's capacity for transformation.

    This is not merely a tale of personal struggle, but an exploration of the wider challenges faced by those who serve on the front lines of law enforcement. Davin fearlessly addresses the hurdles of addiction, the stigma surrounding seeking help as a first responder, and his courageous journey towards recovery. Now a passionate advocate for mental health awareness within his community, Davin has established a confidential space for fellow first responders, offering a lifeline for those navigating similar struggles.

    Join us as we delve into Davin's riveting account — a story that goes beyond the badge, revealing the vulnerabilities, strength, and the unwavering commitment to healing that defines true resilience.

  • Setting The Line: The Crucial Role of Boundaries in Emotional Well Being

    Send us Fan Mail

    Get ready for a real talk in this episode as hosts Cinnamon and Erin dive into the world of boundaries—a topic that you all can't seem to get enough of! From figuring out what the heck our boundaries are to actually telling people about them, the struggle is real.

    Erin kicks things off by pointing out how we often expect others to magically respect our boundaries without taking a good look in the mirror about enforcing them ourselves. They chat about the breakdown in communication that happens when we assume everyone is a mind reader and can just 'get' our boundaries.

    Cinnamon paints a vivid picture of how it's on us to keep our own boundaries intact, using a story about unexpected porch visits as an example. They dig into the messiness of expecting people to follow rules they don't even know exist and chat about the different struggles we face in trying to set and keep boundaries.

    Adding some spice to the mix, Cinnamon and Erin talk about different boundary styles, from the rigid ones to the floppy ones, and the sweet spot in between. Ever said 'yes' when you really meant 'heck no'? Yeah, they've been there too.

    But wait, there's more! The hosts reveal an extra treat for their listeners—a special printable PDF featuring the DEARMAN tool to help navigate those trickier conversations. So, hit that subscribe button, grab your favorite beverage, and get ready to level up your 'no' game with some boundary wisdom and a nifty tool in hand!

  • Code Solidarity: Navigating Challenges Through Peer Support

    Send us Fan Mail

    This episode offers an insightful exploration of the dynamic world of peer support. The hosts shed light on the distinction between peers in a workplace setting and the unique role of peer support—individuals who have weathered life's challenges, gained valuable insights, and emerged as compassionate pillars of support.

    The peer support landscape has evolved significantly in recent years, boasting comprehensive programs at both state and organizational levels. From certifications to mental health peers and even within 12-step programs, the peer support community continues to expand.

    Cinnamon emphasizes the critical role played by peers as conduits, acting as bridges between those seeking support and the information, guidance, and empathy they require. Their discussions delve into the nuances of peer connections, the impact of shared experiences, and the power of a supportive community.

    The hosts explore how individuals often first encounter peer support before considering professional help. Peer recommendations serve as gateways to further assistance, creating a chain of support that builds trust and rapport.

    Touching on the listener's key takeaways, the hosts underscore the importance of peer-to-peer connections and the significance of genuine, relatable conversations. They delve into the emotional first responder role that peers play, highlighting their immediate response and the dedication they bring to their voluntary roles, available 24/7.


    Erin and Cinnamon delve into the emotional and empathetic nature of peer support, emphasizing its pivotal role in crisis intervention and the ability to guide individuals towards outside resources or treatment when necessary. They paint a vivid picture of the passion and commitment displayed by peers, who go beyond mandatory training, viewing it as an exciting opportunity for personal and professional growth.

    In addition, the hosts touch on an upcoming event taking place in Northern Kentucky where resources, peers and speakers come together for 2 days in the name of mental health for first responders. For more information or to register please visit:

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome to "Today's Story Hour with Cinnamon" – where real-life experiences take center stage! In this episode, Cinnamon takes us on a trip down memory lane, back to her very first ride along.

    Picture this: December 20th, 2017 – the date that sparked the beginning of Cinnamon's journey onto a medic unit. As she reminisces about that fateful day, you'll get a firsthand account of the unexpected turns and eye-opening moments that unfolded during her very first ride along.

    In a recent episode, the importance of ride alongs for anyone stepping into the world of first responder therapy was emphasized. Cinnamon passionately shares how these experiences, even if you're just on the sidelines of the arena, offer invaluable insights into the reality of the field. After all, you can't truly understand the challenges and triumphs of the arena unless you've been in it or right by its side.

    And here's the twist – this ride along wasn't just any ride along; it was a catalyst for Cinnamon's journey towards becoming a culturally competent clinician for first responders. For potential clinicians out there, we want you to help you learn how to do this work the right way. It's crucial for clinicians to go beyond theory and truly understand the challenges our first responders face.

    So, buckle up for a ride of emotions, unexpected revelations, and the raw authenticity that is "Today's Story Hour with Cinnamon"!

  • The Tactical Doc: With Dr. Brandon Bellman

    Send us Fan Mail

    It is such a demanding world for first responders, who confront a lot of physical and mental challenges, the need for holistic health and performance optimization is essential in every scenario they encounter.  

    A physical therapist and the founder of Bell Performance Therapy, Dr. Brandon Bellman, joined us in today's episode. Dr. Bellman's journey began following the encounter of two injuries, which our guest got from being a high school athlete and having to experience both excellent and poor medical care, he developed a passion for exercise science and high-quality care and soon after sparked his interest in the unique challenges and healthcare needs of tactical athletes which include law enforcement officers, military personnel and similar professions. Stay tuned and be inspired how his concern for the first responders urged him to provide similar quality care to whom he believed were underserved in this regard.

    With the appropriate education, he has dedicated his career to providing specialized and high quality care to tactical athletes, particularly first responders, whose unique challenges and health risks he aims to address through his work. He is on a mission to serve over 10,000 first responders within the next five years with services that go beyond the traditional insurance covered physical therapy to include preventative and holistic wellness programs. 

    With an innovative approach that includes integrating physical therapy services on site at agencies, Dr. Bellman’s goal is to provide one on one care that improves both the physical and mental well being of first responders. He is committed to improving their quality of life and career longevity, focusing on addressing issues like chronic pain, injury risk, and overall health disparities faced by law enforcement and firefighting personnel.


    Dr. Bellman underscores the profound impact of performance therapy, not just on the wellbeing of the first responders but also on the financial health of the agencies they serve. Whether for a first responder himself, someone who supports one, or simply an individual looking to understand the rigors of such critical professions, Dr. Bellman’s message is clear: Investing in our protectors’ health is an investment in the safety and well being of our communities.

  • Blue Horizon with Jess Flores

    Send us Fan Mail

    Many first responders find themselves forced to retire or leave their careers due to injury or other circumstances, and this can lead to feelings of uncertainty and a lack of purpose. Jess, however, took her own experience of losing her job and turned it into an opportunity to help others in similar situations.

    Our guest, Jess Flores started her career in law enforcement at the young age of 21, but just ten years later, her career was abruptly taken away due to an injury. Uncovering a story that goes beyond the uniform and delves deeply into the complex struggles faced by those on the front lines, Jess opens up about the abrupt end of her career.


    Jess uses here experience as a former law enforcement officer to support her brothers and sisters as founder of NextShift, a coaching program that helps first responders transition out of their careers and find their purpose.  She also discusses the culture shock of entering the world of first responders at a young age, the traumatic incidents she experienced on the job, and the lack of support she received from her department.

    From the topic of identity and the process of rebuilding one's life after a significant loss, her story highlights the importance of finding purpose and rediscovering one's identity outside of the uniform. By sharing her experiences and providing support through NextShift and The Next Shift Podcast, Jess is making a significant impact in the lives of first responders and helping to create a more supportive and understanding culture within the profession.
