We have spoken about mental health with our first responders/police officers, but what does life look like behind closed doors of our officers? Those that support them! I sit down and speak with Lauren Ashley, LEO wife and mother! We talk the pressures of society that come home to our LEO families, keeping privacy, as well as keeping mental health a priority! Life can get hectic with cleaning the house, supporting your spouse, finding time for therapy with ADHD, and much more. This episode is for those who support in the shadows, while keeping it all together including themself!

Creative assistant, comfy fashion enthusiast, beef slingin babe, cowboy & ranch wife! I sit down with social creator/influencer  @madimccall  to talk all things "Real life Beth Dutton" vibes! In the western industry where women are now thriving in both beauty and hard work, we talk how she "roped" her cowboy husband, her unique fashion sense, and how the reality of ranch life is portrayed by the entertainment world vs real life.

Summer is upon us all, which comes more pressure for some stepmoms! Transition days, summer custody schedules, activities, all while juggling home life and career as well as our relationships. How do we do it all? What if we fail? Stepmom burnout? We cover it ALL. I sit down with certified international stepmom coach, Mindy Kyle, where we talk all things STEPMOM.

Your life, in your hands. Your choices. Your time to change. What pushes you? What holds you back? What makes you sit in a state of "stuck" and push aside your dreams, your plans/goals? Past trauma? Fear? I sit down with author and life coach, Laura Walker. Author of "Up Until Now": through stories of transformation, you will feel the genuine and authentic hearts of each of the authors combined stories as they write about job loss, navigating a messy divorce, surviving the death of a loved one, being financially devastated and more. All facing circumstances that seem overwhelming and unsurmountable. Nothing is too difficult to get through, challenges are never too high. We talk about taking accountability in our day-to-day lives, and yes BEING SELFISH! It's allowed here!

Social media allows the platform for predators to hide in the shadows. Whether hiding behind large following accounts, being sponsored by well known brands, or feeling they are untouchable this is occurring too often. Until now. I sit down with 2 special guests, affected by Cowboys of Dixie. We discuss the predatory and unsolicited conversations/photos/content shared by this individual and how the western industry is affected! Victims have been silence far too long! With more & more women coming out and speaking up on this matter, it has become larger than anyone every expected! To the victims: you are heard, you are supported, you matter!

Sexual Assault. Rape. Words as society we seem to shy away from, even more when victims use these words. Then you add the military into this conversation, and it becomes almost taboo. I sit down with special guest, Erin Scanlon, from Phoenix who was a junior army officer in the military when she became a victim. She has been featured by ABC/CNN/Rolling Stone with her story. The story of the military's mishandling of her case, providing advocates that stood up and represented her, and how she changed her trauma into helping others in Washington DC by advocacy work and rewriting policies required for our U.S military's future.

2020: When the pandemic hit the world and caused havoc. On careers, family members, life and most important OUR HEALTH. And our healthcare! 9.2 Americans lost their health insurance in 2020, and it has continued, leaving many to lose sight of the importance of taking care of themselves. This has lead to a increase in ER care due to the loss of insurance and immediate desire for medical attention, as well as the lack of preventative care. I sit down and speak with Michael, Hypnotist and owner of Pac Crest Botanicals. We discuss how to keep our brain as a muscle "on point" in training in actions on what we want our health to be, as well as CBD products to allow our current conditions to improve, as well as preventative care for our future selves.

Fire departments: we pass them daily. Our kids rush to dress up like them for Halloween and be a hero. They are our first contact call in our times of need, but who is their first call when they are need? After their traumatic calls they take, their moments that stay engrained in their minds. Most feel alone in their struggles, but mental health is an ongoing issue that we need to focus on with our Fire Departments. I sit down with podcast host and owner of What Makes Us Fire, Josh, and talk about his struggle with mental health that he has allowed the public to be a part of every step of the way through social media.

We see it everywhere: the focus of mental health in our families, communities, school campuses, work fields… but are we focusing on the mental healthcare and preventative care for our police officers? I sit down and speak with Eric, officer and founder of Blue Grit Wellness. We talk about officer burnout, new recruits onboarding with mental health awareness, the expectations of society with the passing of George Floyd with the police departments, as well as big city vs rural departments in providing “next step” plans and care for mental health of our first responders.

Are you used to asking your kids or even your partner/spouse "How was your day? What's wrong" And getting short responses? Looking to connect more with your household, children and even those around you? I sit and chat with Sarah and her son Remington (** Minor in Video- parental approval and consent provided at time of recording and posting). We talk about the "6 questions" game that is changing their household, and has changed mine as well!
