Welcome to another enlightening episode of Fight the Burnout, the podcast dedicated to helping law enforcement officers combat burnout and cultivate resilience. In this interview, we are thrilled to have Steve Sweeting, an esteemed 18-year Police Sergeant, as our special guest.


Steve's firsthand experience as an active duty police sergeant has exposed him to the hardships that law enforcement officers face daily. From life-altering situations like receiving a medal of valor for two heroic shootings to enduring the heart-wrenching loss of a life in a car fire, Steve understands the toll these experiences can take on officers' well-being.


In his quest to find inner strength and happiness despite external circumstances, Steve turned to Stoic philosophy. He discovered that by embracing Stoicism, he could build resilience, maintain a sense of control, and find fulfillment amidst the challenges of the job.


Driven by his phenomenal personal results, Steve felt a deep calling to share the transformative power of Stoicism with fellow law enforcement officers. He authored a book, established a comprehensive website, and developed training services, all with the intention of empowering LEOs with this ancient wisdom.


During the interview, Steve will reveal his top three learnings from Stoic philosophy that have had a profound impact on his life and can do the same for others. Join us as he discusses the Dichotomy of Control, the concept of Amor Fati (Love of Fate), and the powerful reminder of Memento Mori (Remember Death).


These timeless Stoic principles have the potential to revolutionize the way law enforcement officers perceive and navigate their professional and personal lives. By incorporating these insights, officers can enhance their well-being, cultivate resilience, and combat burnout.


Tune in to this captivating interview with Steve Sweeting as he shares his inspiring journey and provides invaluable tools for finding strength, resilience, and happiness within the realm of law enforcement.
