Lenny Bradley, a retired member of the New York City Police Department, was born and raised in New York. He had a distinguished career in law enforcement, with a focus on community engagement and working closely with the youth.  

After 17 years with the NYPD, Lenny began to realize that his time as a Police Officer should come to an end as he decided to embark on a journey to help members of Law Enforcement.

Purpose Over Pension was then created by Lenny to redefine retirement and employment in Law Enforcement by prioritizing purpose instead of rushing life away for a pension. 

Creating insightful discussions and inspiring stories, to help guide individuals in identifying their unique purpose is his goal, while addressing topics on spirituality, navigating finances, and embracing career fulfilling and post-career pursuits. 

His aim is to inspire a community where life is about living with intention, impact, and fulfillment.  Not just about making it to the finish line of retirement.

This was a really fun interview with an incredibly well spoken and insightful young woman.

Beth's mom contacted me about having her on the show due to her unique perspective. She was about pre-teen age when her step father, who had been in her life from a young age, became a police officer. Beth navigated the transition. Now, as a young adult, gets to provide her insight and guidance to her little sisters and her mom and step dad as they raise her little sisters. Even more, Beth is currently studying to follow in her step father's foot steps and find her own career in the corrections field, working at the same locate he once did.

We also talk about her mom and the work her mom does with first responders.

Today’s episode features an active police officer who wants to share about the importance of family and mental health, as a police officer. Mike has been a cop for about 8 years. He is married with two young daughters.

He was also recently featured on Abby Ellsworth’s Podcast - On Being a Police Officer.

Balancing work, life, mental health, and family can be tough but is so important and I really enjoyed listening to Mike’s perspective on things as again, he is an active officer and is raising a young family of his own. His openness and willingness to share is inspiring and sets an example for other officers around him. I hope you enjoy this episode and Mike’s insight as much as I did!

The episode mentioned in Season 2, Episode 14 and it is available on MAX. I included the 90 seconds of audio at the end. The quality isn't the best but you'll get an idea of the emotions and sweet moment from the show.

Would love to know your thoughts on the raw, unedited episode from the heart!

This was one of my favorite conversations to date. It was so much fun to sit down with another LE (adult) kid and hear about her experiences and share how we were each affected. There were a lot of similarities and a lot of differences - Erin's story is so impactful and she shares it honestly and beautifully. Beyond that, Erin has also done a lot of research in this field so she speaks to both her experiences and learnings through research. 

Be sure to leave a review and let us know what you took away from our discussion!

Today's episode might be a bit controversial but I would love to hear what you think and open the door for conversation around this topic. When I started by company, I made a conscious decision for my podcast, my community, and my platform to offer support specific law enforcement officers and their families. I have been questioned and challenged on this several times and this episode will explain my decision.

For starters, I am the daughter niece, and cousin of police officers. My brother is a nurse but I am otherwise not acquainted or connected with other first or second responders. Therefore, law enforcement life is what I know. Additionally, law enforcement has their own set of nuances to navigate than even other first responders don't necessarily experience.

There is no doubt that all first and second responders need support and resources and share many challenges due to the nature of their fields. Luckily, there are several of those and I am happy to provide the information for several that I trust to anyone who needs it. Beyond the Uniform was designed by the LT's Daughter to support law enforcement families specifically.
