Picking up on last episode, this episode dives deeper into personal applications of The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. Today we look at specific ways to apply love languages to meeting personal needs for building yourself up, interrupting tendencies to tear yourself down, and considerations in processing traumatic experiences and high stress exposure. This episode leans heavy on the episode before, so if you missed it go back and start there!
Take the Love Languages Quiz here!
Episode Challenge:
· What is your love language(s)? How can you imagine applying your love language to how you process trauma/stress? How could you leverage your love language to help you interact with emotional intensity more effectively?
· Consider whether Beating the Breaking Point might be a fit to support you in filling the gaps in your training and enhancing your capacity for resilience in the face of persistent stress (choose the enhanced support experience – it’s worth it!). Learn more here, including what the program includes, our no-risk guarantee, and the high rated feedback from our past students.

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman is one of the go-to books and resources for couples therapists and people seeking to care for each other well. But what if this same principle could go well beyond applications for couples and actually become a staple way that we think about ourselves, our needs, and be used as a tangible tool to build ourselves up and stop tearing ourselves down?? In this episode we are covering the fundamentals of love languages as a concept, and I am offering a new way to think about this classic concept that applies to you with love from you. If it sounds cheesy, think again, this has the potential to be a life-changing gift if you really take it and run with it. Try it, I dare you!
Take the Love Languages Quiz here!
Episode Challenge:
· What is your love language(s)? What kinds of things do others do that you really value and find meaningful in building you up? How do you sometimes engage in ways that use your love language against you to tear you down? How could you use some of the same principles to offer to yourself in ways that build you up, and reduce some of the things that you use against yourself that tear down?
· Consider whether Beating the Breaking Point might be a fit to support you in filling the gaps in your training and enhancing your capacity for resilience in the face of persistent stress (choose the enhanced support experience – it’s worth it!).

I recently had a listener reach out and share about an experience where she was sharing that she had suffered a hard critical incident to a close friend, and the friends response was, “well, that’s what you signed up for.” Last episode I offered my rant-y thoughts on the matter and promised to put together a follow-up episode to offer some alternative ways loved ones can offer support and ways that First Responders & Front Line Helpers can communicate your needs to the people in your life. And here it is! I really hope that this episode offers some tangible tools that will allow you and your loved ones to transform moments that could be felt as dismissive or disconnecting into opportunities for deepened connection, trust and care.
Episode Challenge:
· What are some ways you might adapt the language in some of today’s suggestions to make them your own? Who might you need to try this with?
· Consider whether Beating the Breaking Point might be a fit to support you in filling the gaps in your training and enhancing your capacity for resilience in the face of persistent stress (choose the enhanced support experience – it’s worth it!).

I recently had a listener reach out and share about an experience where she was sharing that she had suffered a hard critical incident to a close friend, and the friends response was, “well, that’s what you signed up for.” …And my response may not have been all the therapeutic, helpful, responsive pieces it could/would/should have been…it may have sounded more like, “just go fuck right off”.
Admittedly, perhaps not my kindest response…but not without some reasons, and I’m sharing them with you today. If you have ever had this response of “this is what you signed up for” as a way of blowing off the validity and significance of what you have faced – this episode is for you. Not only is it for you, it is also for you to share with the ones you love so they know why that line is NOT ok and why it puts you at RISK.
This is probably one of my more rant-y episodes ever, and I will frontload that I swear, so be mindful of listening with child ears present. I will be putting together a follow-up episode that I will try to keep a bit cleaner and will work to offer some alternative ways loved ones can offer support and ways that First Responders & Front Line Helpers can communicate your needs to the people in your life.
Episode Challenge:
· What comes up for you when you hear, “well that’s what you signed up for”? What is your reaction? Do you believe that’s true? What would you say to someone in your life if they said that to you?
· Consider whether Beating the Breaking Point might be a fit to support you in filling the gaps in your training and enhancing your capacity for resilience in the face of persistent stress (choose the enhanced support experience – it’s worth it!).

Welcome to our final installment of "Above and Beyond", a series through October spotlighting the efforts of 3 amazing helping professionals who have taken their experiences and sought out ways to use their stories to support others in First Response and Front Line work. Today, I am joined by Patrick Greenhill. Among his accomplishments, Sgt. Greenhill was the Program Coordinator for Safe Passages, an initiative that opened the doors of police agencies as access points to substance abuse treatment services and other necessary ancillary services. The Safe Passages Initiative began in 2016 and has run in 14 Cleveland area police agencies since that time. The program was intended as a model program for public/private community partnerships to address overall community health and wellness. More recently, Patrick has partnered with a team from various backgrounds to develop The 4Rs Path: Emotional Resilience, Mission Readiness, Health Reintegration, and Retention which is focused on both individual and organization health and wellness. The 4Rs Path team is comprised of individuals from varied backgrounds and professional knowledge to include first responders, active-duty military, military veterans, and mindset performance coaches, among others. During this episode, we talk about the desire to help, the hurts from helping, the systems that support (or fail to support), and the hope to heal while remaining committed to the work.
Listen in to our conversation and share it with those you know.
Episode Challenge:
· Reflect on your story within the work you do. What have been some of the wins? What has helped you remain in it?
· Consider whether Beating the Breaking Point might be a fit to support you in filling the gaps in your training and enhancing your capacity for resilience in the face of persistent stress (choose the enhanced support experience – it’s worth it!).

We're BACK!!!
It has felt like a long but genuinely refreshing break and I am SO excited and grateful to be back in your inbox once again to share about a new season of the Behind the Line podcast, highlighting wellness strategies for hardworking helping professionals. I hope that you have been able to find pockets of calm, joy, silliness and connection over the course of your summertime, and that you and yours are settling into the new rhythms that seem to come with the early fall months. I have been grateful to hear from some of you during our summer break, and know that life never quits, so know that I also see you in your efforts to keep showing up even as life keeps handing you more and harder and heavier.
I will admit that while my summer offered some much needed refreshing, it also afforded me some new perspective that I have mixed feelings about sharing with you. Back in the spring, I was presented with the opportunity to make a big move for my clinical practice. I, alongside my family, decided to purchase a new office space for the clinic I own. It was an intense decision making process that depleted me quite a bit and resulted in the decision to take the summer off from podcasting in an effort to restore and rebuild capacity. It was also with the knowing that while the decision was made, the real rubber-hit-road of the decision would be coming in full force in the fall. We close on the deal in the coming month or so, and will begin a complete build out of the interior space...meaning that I will be continuing care for my full-time caseload of clients, managing our clinic, continuing projects like the podcast and supporting coaching my students inside the Beating the Breaking Point resilience training program, and overseeing the construction of our new expanded office space. Looking ahead to the additional demands on time and energy, I have made the hard but necessary decision to reduce the podcast frequency to bi-weekly. You will still be hearing from me with new episodes every other week, and I want to encourage you to use the alternating "off" weeks to catch up on episodes you may have missed from our last 3 seasons. I am hoping that this pace will allow me to continue bringing you valuable support while allowing me to balance work and life and all the other things!
And that brings us to our very first episode of season 4! For October, we are kicking off a series called "Above and Beyond", spotlighting the efforts of 3 amazing helping professionals who have taken their experiences and sought out ways to use their stories to support others in First Response and Front Line work. Today, I am joined by Nathan Kapler, retired RCMP member and host of the Ten Thirty Three podcast. We do a deep dive into Nate's experience of posttraumatic stress, addiction, recovery, and choosing to use his story to make change and inspire a different roadmap for others in law enforcement. Nate brings insightful, meaningful thoughts that apply to anyone in helping work.
Listen in to our conversation and share it with those you know.
Episode Challenge:
· Reflect on your story within the work you do. What parts stand out to you? How would you tell it to others, like someone considering entering the work? What has shaped you/changed you? How do you intentionally manage/mitigate how the work impacts you?
· Consider whether Beating the Breaking Point might be a fit to support you in filling the gaps in your training and enhancing your capacity for resilience in the face of persistent stress (choose the enhanced support experience – it’s worth it!). Learn more at the link above, including what the program includes, our no-risk guarantee, and the high rated feedback from our past students.

Have you ever felt like to do your job you are sacrificing parts of your soul? Like you have lost parts of your self and your belief in goodness? Front Line jobs demand a lot and expose you to some of the worst moments for people. Beyond the calls, the lack of support from the systems that “support” you can also undermine any sense of ok-ness. Retaining your sense of humanity and goodness and keeping your wholehearted desire for helping intact can be incredibly hard.
Bridging off of last week’s episode, I am honoured to be joined by Dr. Hillary McBride to continue the discussion on wholehearted helping.
Learn more about Hillary’s work here:

Listen in to our conversation and share it with those you know.
Episode Challenge:
· Reflect on your experience of wholeheartedness in the work. What was the heart that brought you to the work at the start? How is it feeling now? How do you protect your heart? How do you keep being vulnerable with your helping heart?

Show Notes:
We are finishing re-sharing a "Blast from the Past" series that I did back in Season 1 of Behind the Line. It was one of my favourite series and I think really important content for those who may have missed it the first time. The series takes a look at Brené Brown's work in her book, Dare to Lead, and discusses applications to helping professions where it is absolutely IMPERATIVE that we improve leadership and systems, because they are hella broken. I hope you'll share this series with your sphere of influence and that together we can make it different...
This episode included some time-based events that have now ended.
…And that’s a wrap! Today’s episode wraps up our series following Brené Brown’s work from her book, Dare to Lead. This episode includes the bits and pieces we skipped over along the way for the sake of time, as well as some thoughts to tie together the concepts from the book with the interviews with T.C. Randall and Jennifer Pound, as well as with general applications in a front line work pace and environment.
Some final thoughts and resources from Brené and Dare to Lead:
Armored Leadership vs. Daring Leadership – check out the list here.
Tools to Give & Receive Feedback – check out “The Engaged Feedback Checklist” here.
Concerns & Applications – I encourage you to listen to hear some of the feedback and concerns I’ve heard from listeners throughout this series and my thoughts on how we work to apply these conceptual level skills to the very real and challenging work on the front lines.
Episode Challenge:
Having listened to this series, what is one step you can take in our workplace to grow in your daring leadership? What are you willing to commit to and how does it align with your values and the leader you want to be? …Remember, “who you are is how you lead.”
Additional Resources:
If you haven’t yet, check out the free Beating the Breaking Point Indicators Checklist & Triage Guide to help you self-assess your experiences and exposure to burnout. Use this tool as information as you get honest with yourself about the impacts you have experienced – and start considering telling the story of your resilience as someone who has invested in their own wellness by looking into our Beating the Breaking Point Training Program designed for First Responders and Front Line Workers. You can grab the free indicators checklist here, and learn more about the training program here.
As discussed in todays’ episode, check out Brené Brown’s book Dare to Lead. You may also enjoy some of her other books, including Rising Strong; Braving the Wilderness; and Daring Greatly. These are some of my favourite books for personal development and wellness. She has a couple of other books that are also excellent, but if you’re new to her work, these are the ones I would highly suggest starting with.
