I am so excited to have my friend Vicki Hixson on the show. She is one of the most passionate people I have met. 

Vicki has been a law enforcement officer in Arizona for over 25 years and has also managed first responder peer support programs since 2013. Vicki is passionate about assisting public safety agencies in creating comprehensive wellness programs and supporting first responders and their families. As the owner of Critical Incident Consulting, LLC, she provides customized solutions, training, employee care plans, and creative wellness programs to agencies nationally while recognizing the needs of both the employees and the agencies. She is also a co-creator and co-host of the Ride Along Chronicles podcast; a social podcast focusing on the unique challenges of first responder families told through confidential storytelling. She has been married to her law enforcement officer husband for over 25 years and together they raised three children

Such a great and informative show with a person who is dedicated to helping our brave men and women who serve.

Did you ever wonder if there was a different way to view really thriving and living?

Author John R. Robertson did as he kept seeing people reacting to issues after the fact. He is the author of Run Towards The Roar - Transform Crisis and Change into The Opportunity to Thrive. When a “roar” happens in life there are normal fight, flight, freeze, and appease reactions but what would happen if we ran toward the roar instead of merely reacting?

Such a great read and excellent Guest.

I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol.  I was contemplating hurting myself.  I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819.

As you head into the new year I want you to start doing daily resolutions instead of a new year resolution. Think about it. Instead of resolving to stop doing something during the course of the year when you commit to daily resolutions you will have 365 of them at the end of the year. That is a lot of growth and change. 

You can do it. Go conquer your day and your week.

As we head into the holidays please remember that many people suffer especially during this time of year. Keep them in your prayers.

The only thing we have is time. And not much of it. Every day you procrastinate and push off what you have to do is another day wasted. 2023 is going to be your year if you let it be and take action. 

You have a few days left in 2022 to make your plans and take action.

Go out and conquer your day and week.

A career as a first responder will damage you. There is no question about it. There is only so much you can see without it affecting you in a negative way. My next guest wrote about the journey of many of his interviews for his book.

Nightmares, flashbacks, anger, concentration problems, emotional detachment, avoidance of people and places... These are some of the signs of PTSD. As many as one in three cops may suffer from PTSD, a condition that could lead to depression, suicidal thoughts, addictions, eating disorders as well as job and family conflict. CopShock prepares police officers for the aftermath of horrific trauma, helps families understand PTSD's effect on their loved ones, tells true stories of officers-men and women-with PTSD, and offers over 200 support sources.

It was an honor to have Trauma Expert and Best-Selling Author Allen R. Kates on the show. Allen is the author of CopShock - Surviving Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

I will be very happy when I pay off my debts. I will also be very happy when I reach the point I want to reach in my career. In my personal and professional relationships. Then I will be happy. The problem with my thinking is that I am robbing myself of happiness today, and you might be too. The only thing we have is the moment. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is promised to no one. 

Learn to be happy where you are right now. You might be faced with challenges, but this day will never return. In this moment is when you can make the change you want.

Go out and conquer your day and your week.
