In this heartfelt episode, David Burnell shares a quiet yet powerful moment at his local pool—an encounter with a weary law enforcement officer whose eyes told a story of years spent carrying the invisible scars of service. Drawing from his own experiences alongside police, rescue personnel, and military veterans, David reflects on the importance of being present, listening deeply, and extending compassion to those weighed down by the fog of life’s battles.

This story is a call to action—to slow down, notice those in our path, and offer the healing gift of affirmation, understanding, and hope.
