Proud Police Wife Podcast

After experiencing every shift possible over the last 17 years with my husband in law enforcement, I can confidently say there are truly pros and cons to each shift.

But are we waiting and wasting the time we have because we don't like that shift and focusing on the cons? Or are we finding ways to embrace where we currently are?

If you are struggling with shift work or wishing your spouse was on a different shift, find some encouraging words and ways to move through shift work in today's episode.

My husband and I love supporting first responder owned businesses that support us. So when it comes to buying products or services, we almost always go with companies that support law enforcement.

Joining me today are owners of Blue Monarch Co, Tania and John. They are both retired police officers and worked the aftermath of 9/11. They know what it feels like to not be supported so they wanted to create a brand that supports first responders and find a way to give back.
