This episode is the result of my research studies for obtaining my Master's degree in Trauma Psychology. My work is extensively in Military, Front Line First Responders and Survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, childhood abuse and sexual trauma. There are places where all of these individuals intersect. As we review the currently available courses on public education there are some parts of the puzzle missing. This episode reflects on a few of those additional pieces for consideration. Understanding what your friend, neighbor or even significant other is actually going through is a first step to understanding how to actually be supportive to their healing journey. 

RISEUP Phoenix Academy offers a 12 week all inclusive coaching/consulting program, course, group, solution for those looking for ways to overcome stress, anxiousness, overwhelm and take hold of a life of passion, purpose, and happiness. Every program sold creates a scholarship for a Military, Veteran, Police, Firefighter, or other Frontline Emergency Personal or family member in need.

With all the new places we are becoming visible I wanted to introduce myself, give a bit of my background and provide some first quarter transparency for our brand new 501C3 organization Battle2BE. We have been deep in doing this work for over three years but have only begun to structure it in a way that allows us to seek public support and involvement in the huge mission we have taken on. We can't do the things that will deeply impact thousands, maybe even millions of lives if we are not in it 100% So we want to thank those who have already begun to support, and stand beside us and can't wait to meet those getting ready to join us. (I have a secret meeting today with an amazing company that could change everything for us in a big way..... wish us luck in showing them what a phenomenal partnership this will be!!) 

If you want to know more about our program please visit our website.  Battle2BE
