Gravity Podcast

This week, Chris and Jaimie discuss big, enormous, life altering, decisions. Whether you are part of the first responder / military families, or if you had a traumatic event in your life, Chris and Jaimie encourage you to PAUSE before making any big decisions. When we have experienced stressful events, our stress-brain takes over and causes our decision-making brain to go off-line.  We need to PAUSE big decisions until we can get our pre-frontal cortex back on-line able to weigh the pros and cons of the big decision.  Chris and Jaimie offer up some tools they use to help their brain return to its normal state.

WE GOT MERCH!!  Buy some, or don't.  It's up to you!!

This week, retired Arizona police officer and Demon Slayer, Travis Gribble joins Chris on the podcast.  On Travis's website, he writes, "In 2016, I experienced what I now know to be a life-changing call. For five years after the call, I never sought appropriate help and I was slowly self-destructing within. As the years and calls went by my cup was reaching capacity and in 2021, I was brought to my knees. Thankfully I was put in touch with a therapist who specializes in first responder care and I began the journey of healing."

Travis breaks down the calls that impacted him most and the lessons he has learned about himself in the healing process.

This week, Chris sits down with US Army reservist, Lt Col Lisa Jaster.  Lisa Jaster is an American soldier, combat engineer, and one of the first three women to graduate the elite United States Army Ranger program in 2015. One of the most difficult combat training courses in the world, Lisa was the first reservist to complete the course. She graduated at age 37, while the average trainee age is 23. Lisa, an athlete focused on strength training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, has a deeply rooted understanding of the importance of perseverance through continual progress and growth, as well as an ingrained respect for camaraderie and selfless service stemming from a noteworthy active-duty career (including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan). 

Prior to receiving her esteemed Ranger tab, Lisa worked as an engineer with Shell Oil in Houston and an Army Reserve individual mobilization augmentee with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Her background in both the military and corporate worlds allows her to connect with any audience to create a memorable experience. Lisa initially was commissioned in the Army in 2000 after graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point and returned to the reserves in 2012 after a 5-year hiatus from serving. She volunteered for combat training when she discovered the Army Ranger course was being opened to women for the first time in 60 years as a U.S. government experiment to see how women would fare in the notoriously brutal program. Lisa is the recipient of numerous military accolades including two Bronze Star Medals and the Meritorious Service Medal.

Lisa left active duty in 2007 and started a family and civilian career with Shell but returned to the Army as a reservist in 2012. Lisa holds a BS and MS in Civil Engineering. She is currently a partner in The Talent War Group – a management consulting and executive search firm where she focuses her efforts on training management teams, executive coaching, and keynote speaking. She also works with Leading Authorities, LLC as a keynote speaker. She recently released her book, Delete the Adjective - A Soldier's Adventures in Ranger School.

Chris and Jaimie have been experiencing a lot of storms in their family, neighborhood, and community.  When Chris asked Jaimie to record a podcast, she said, "Not this week." Sometimes life is too heavy to discuss. Chris knew that Jaimie needed space, but this is not something that he has done well over the past 25-years.  Listen in as he reflects on their current season and some ideas of respecting space.

This week, Chris and Jaimie explore one of their dichotomies in marriage - one being a dreamer and adventurer, the other hitting the brakes and killing the dream. This contrast has created a lot of conflict in their marriage until they learned to leverage each other's strengths and appreciate the value in their partner.  They hope this episode will help you do the same in your marriage and other relationships.
