As a first responder wife, it can feel reallyyyy hard at times to be supportive of the job vs. fighting the job. We all struggle with this or have struggled with it in the past, so we felt that this conversation was so needed! We hope this episode is full of encouragement and solidarity while also giving you tangible tips for when you're struggling.

Okay this episode is JUICY yall! The original plan of this episode was to chat about building community as a LEOW but the Q&A lead us to a slightly different topic, which we think most of you will really resonate with. This is a conversation that NEEDS talked about more and I am so glad someone asked us this!

In this episode, we chat about preparing & starting a family as a first responder couple as well as the months after baby. Navigating postpartum hormones, the roommate stage & our husband's schedules/work aftermath is not for the faint of heart. We hope you find some solidarity and laughs during this convo, like we did while having it!
