Get REAL! (R-E-A-L)

‘L’ has a duality aspect for both Lifestyle and Leadership. These concepts are interrelated as they relate to Tactical Wellness. Lifestyle deals primarily with personal growth and day-to-day values, activities, behaviors, etc. Leadership moves these concepts beyond self, as one interacts with others. 

The objective of this episode is also to introduce listeners to the concept of the Servant Warrior (or the Warrior Servant).

While listening, try to unpack the information and apply it to your personal situation. Take notes in your personal journal. Doing this one activity, will significantly increase your understanding and application of the material.

Let’s meet again in the next episode… Where we will talk about and give an overview of the PERMA acronym (Positive Psychology) and how it relates to your Tactical Wellness.

Get REAL! (R-E-A-L)

A is for Attitude. How does your attitude affect your Tactical Wellness?

Our attitude is not only a reflection of our resilience, but of our gratitude, our perspective, and our overall mindset.

This episode of Tactical Wellness emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining a resilient, positive attitude. What if you could? What if you did?

Your challenge today is to review this episode two or three times, taking notes and asking yourself how you, personally, can enhance your own resilience, your positivity, your gratitude and your mindset?

Let’s meet again in the next episode… where we will explore the topic of Positive Psychology, and how the acronym PERMA relates to Get REAL! and to Tactical Wellness.

Get REAL! (R-E-A-L)

E is for Energy. Without appropriate energy, the other pillars fall flat.

Our energy is composed of several elements, including our fitness and physical training. Also our nutrition, as well as our rest and recovery. Finally, an often overlooked element of our energy component is decluttering and ‘minimizing’ in our lives to reduce our stress level. Reducing our stress automatically raises our energy.

The challenge that I leave with you is finding, and living, an appropriate level of energy for the task at hand.

Join me in the next episode… where we will talk about and give an overview of the whole area of ATTITUDE and how it relates to your Tactical Wellness.

Get REAL! (R-E-A-L)

R stands for Relationships. Let’s take a closer look to see how relationships are the bedrock of our individual wellness.

Our relationships with self, our families, our community, and with God must be tactically developed and maintained.

The goal of this episode is to examine where each of our personal relationships are according to the four relationship areas, and strategically work to improve at least one of them.

Your challenge is to identify and take one tactical step or ‘micro adjustment’ to positively affect your current relationships.

It’s here!   “March 4th!”

The launch of Tactical Wellness.

In this first episode of Tactical Wellness, we  explain the significance of a framework called REALife Success! 

Real (R-E-A-L) is an acronym standing for:

- Relationships

- Energy

- Attitude

- Lifestyle/Leadership

The dynamic balance created when integrating these four pillars of success is absolutely incredible.

You’ll also learn about the three stabilizers for this framework to truly come alive for you. These stabilizers include Integrity, Focus, and Enjoyment.

Listen carefully, and take notes, as we unpack this framework and forge into the amazing world of REALife Success!

As we embark on this journey together, I hope you truly experience and enjoy your own personal Tactical Wellness!

Thanks very much!

This is the second pre-launch podcast for Tactical Wellness. 

As mentioned in the audio, the tech is not perfect, in fact it’s far from it. That’s okay… for now. I’m working hard behind the scenes to make it better for every episode.

The launch date for this project is March 4th. Also, as mentioned in the audio, that may seem a bit cheesy, but for me, it was paramount to get into this project and actually make it happen… Now!

Join me on March 4th for the Power Launch of Tactical Wellness. Five episodes outlining the framework of this entire project.

I can’t wait to get started, and I can’t wait to get your feedback to build this into an unbelievably helpful and dynamic program.

Come join me on March 4th! Let’s experience the Tactical Wellness adventure together.

To my FAMLE (Fire, Ambulance, Military and Law Enforcement)…

Thank You!

Welcome to Tactical Wellness!

This podcast focusses on Health, Wellness, Positive Psychology, PTG (Post-Traumatic Growth), etc., for my family of brothers and sisters in first responder type careers.

I refer to this group as my family (FAMLE - Fire, Ambulance, Military, Law-Enforcement).

My Background…

I am a 30 year veteran police officer with additional peace officer experience. I also have a teaching and instruction background, plus am a certified Police Coach and positive psychology practitioner. I’m also certified in positive education, and adult education.

I have a heart for my family (FAMLE), considering the uniqueness and the difficulty of our chosen careers. They are not only hard on us individually, but on our families and friendships. 

My hope is that through this podcast, I can build on the experience of listener feedback and my background to create a very helpful resource that is both practical and tactical for creating and maintaining personal and professional wellness.

With your help, we can create a truly unique and beneficial site. 

Join me March 4, 2026 for our “Power Launch” …5 Episodes!
