Surviving the Streets: The Mental Stresses of First Responders

**sorry the audio isn’t great on this episode. I don’t have a studio and do this whereever I can**


On this episode I am joined with "Mike and Lauren”.  Mike was on the last episode and this time he brought his spouse. Today we hear about things from the perspective of a spouse.  If you are married, were married or thinking about getting married, you should listen to this.  Have your spouse or significant other listen, hopefully it will open a line of communication and y'all can discuss everything.  
Thank you again to Mike and Laura for coming on the show.

On this episode I had the honor of talking to "Michael."  Michael has over 20 years in Law Enforcement and talks about how the stress of a personal life can affect us as well.  I met Michael at a F1RST conference put on by Dr.T.

So I've been gone for a while. Had some personal struggles and back surgery.  Giving a little update on what happened and trying to get back into the swing of things.  I am still here for everyone and sorry for being gone.  Today is a new day, and the journey continues.

On this months episode, I have the honor of talking to my best friend when I was an LEO.  He was there for me at my worse.  We were on a lot of calls together and became family through it all.

On this episode I am joined by a former FTO I had, Jerry.  Jerry reached out to me when he saw my posts about Mental Health. Jerry is a retired 22 year Police Officer whom I had the pleasure of serving with, he had a reputation for being a hard and tough cop.  He shows us that even the toughest cop out there can still have issues with Metal Health.  He talks about his journey and how, with the help of God, able to overcome everything.

I ramble on about Self Care and how its important to me.  Here are a couple of therapists websites you can look into if needed
