After F3 & F4, I wanted a podcast that emphasizes the point that feelings are wise and thoughts/actions are defensive (rightfully so & still helpful to us humans) - but I would rather be wise than defensive. Feelings don’t do anything but communicate a message. Thoughts and actions are… defensive.

I explain why feeling your f$&@ing feelings is wise.

As we start Season 4 in crazy times, I encourage you to meditate. Here is a starting point. Whatever you get out of it, you get out of it. Whatever stirs, can be insightful. Enjoy. Note: Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

Intervention strategy up for debate. Shadow contributed as usual, lol

I’m reading you what I have written in the past, lol, don’t fall asleep. Shadow pug hacks in the background on this one too. Enjoy!

Bullet point topics for your first responder psychological support policy is here!

This is for all the first responder activists who ask me for psychological policy information. It’s just a start, but maybe someday we can make a positive, relevant, and significant difference for first responders.

It doesn’t get better or easier, but you can get wiser. Life will always be challenging. You have a choice to face difficulty or not. My hope is that you learn to cope. Dog snores in the background, enjoy!

A quick message to remind you: you are a human. Your goal is to sleep well at night, eat healthy, hydrate, and choose joy. If you don’t love you, who will?

We all should support first responders who are prescribed psych meds by a psychiatrist without judgment. First responder careers are doozies & sometimes the occupational hazards are psychological (not just physical).
