Escape Hatch with 911 Dispatcher, Maria (Escape Hatch Series)


Listen Later

Show Notes:
Today I am joined by Maria Pelletier, former Ambulance Communications Officer now working in dispatch at a Fire Department in Southwestern Ontario and acting as an Account Coordinator and Social Media Manager for CRACKYL Magazine (Firefighter lifestyle and health magazine that focuses on the individual rather than the industry). PTSD survivor and single mom of 2 girls. Juggling all the bits with determination and grace. Listen in as we talk about her learning and experience in needing an escape hatch and the ways in which she discovered prioritizing her wellness without continuing to sacrifice her self. Info about Maria is below under Additional Resources!
 
Episode Challenge:

Register now for the Self-Care Dare 5 Day Challenge for First Responders & Front Line Workers. This will be the last time we run the Dare as a live 5 day challenge, so jump in while you still can. You'll get 5 days of video lessons that are quick but intensive guides through 5 key domains of self-care. We peel off all the fluff about self-care and dig into the heart of what it really means to care for your self with intention and consistency. From there, you'll also get a ton of worksheets and brainstorm prompts to help you map out your own personalized self-care plan that you can take and adapt as your life continues to evolve and change. And finally, you get access to a private facebook group where we will connect through all 5 days to deepen the learning, personalize insights and ensure that you carry what you learn along with you for the long haul. Previous students of the Dare have reached out months and even years later to share about how what they learned continues to make a difference in their lives TODAY...and that includes our incredible guest today, Mariah. The dare is only $10 to join, you get lifetime access to the videos and materials, and I hope you will join me! Click here to register now. Registration closes at 11:59pm PST on Monday July 4th and the Dare kicks off for those who take the leap, bright and early on Tuesday July 5th. Invest in you, register now.
