We all celebrate the selfless heroes in the medical field who are on the front line of fighting Covid-19. How can you be a hero and help save a life? Have you ever thought of donating bone marrow?

Today, Denise Soza from Be the Match joins me to discuss the ways you can make a lifesaving donation to a patient needing a bone marrow transplant and provide answers to the myths of donating bone marrow. In 1995, Denise donated bone marrow for a child with leukemia. After having a positive donation experience, she knew that working for Be The Match was her life’s calling. With her own personal experience as a bone marrow donor and having worked with several hundreds of donors for over 20 years, Denise now uses that knowledge to manage a team of donor coordinators.

When I was a kid, I loved to play hide and seek. You would search for the best spot where you could hunker down, feel safe, and not be found. This is exactly what we want you to do in an active shooter event if you cannot Run safely, HIDE. In December, Troy and I broke down how to RUN in an active shooter event. Today we are ready to examine the second part of the RUN HIDE FIGHT mantra, which is HIDE.

Our returning guest is Detective Troy Zeeman who has been in Law Enforcement for over 25 years with many different assignments such as Patrol, Gang Units, and Traffic Investigations. He has been training active shooter response tactics since the Columbine school shooting in 1999. Troy and Shannon, his wife, founded Active Shooter Prep after surviving the Route 91 mass shooting in 2017 with a single mission, to provide knowledge and hope of survival in an active shooter event. They have been training corporations, organizations, small businesses, and individuals all over the United States since 2018 on what to do before, during, and after an active shooter event. Together they wrote “Active Shooter! How To Survive The Most Important 4 Minutes Of Your Life”, where they share their story of surviving the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the training they created from Troy’s many years of police training and their personal experience.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone is making you uncomfortable? Maybe they are in your personal space, being argumentative, or even flitting with you. Of course, we all have! The important question is, what did you do about it? We have all heard about the importance of setting boundaries. What often gets missed is the importance of enforcing your boundaries. Depending on the situation and the relationship you have with the person pushing your boundary, your response can vary significantly. In this episode, Shannon and Kelly are going to discuss the importance of boundaries, all the different types of boundaries, and how to practice enforcing them, depending on who you are dealing with.

Our guest this week, Kelly Sayer, believes all women can learn how to be more situationally aware to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. She took self-defense classes, firearm safety courses and browsed all the tools marketed to women to carry for their protection- but what she couldn’t find was someone talking to women about how to spot a potentially dangerous situation BEFORE it happened. That is when her company, The Diamond Arrow Group, was born. An arrow through a diamond symbolizes “courage moving forward” and her mission is to help women build their confidence so they can move forward and live life on their own terms. Kelly is a life-long learner and has been researching and studying resources on situational awareness for years. She is an endorsed 500rising instructor. She took all that knowledge and created training, keynote presentations, and one-on-one coaching programs, with the everyday woman in mind. She draws on her vast research and knowledge to help women
understand how to use life skills they already have, for their personal safety.

It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Our “fight-or-flight” response to fear triggers many split-second changes in our body to help defend against danger or to avoid it. Most people will experience a range of reactions after trauma, but most of us recover from these symptoms naturally. Individuals who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with Post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is amazing how one traumatic experience can change your life’s purpose.

Our guest this week, Linda Stanley, a retired Air Force Officer, was deployed to Iraq in 2006 as a trauma nurse. Linda previously worked in the emergency psychiatric clinic specializing in PTSD assessment and treatment. She is currently a psychiatric nurse practitioner at a residential treatment facility designed to promote recovery in Veterans, particularly those who returned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Linda has dedicated her life to helping those struggling with PTSD and has spoken nationally on the topic of PTSD to numerous professional groups.

We all have run away from danger, something scary, or even when we play. But in an active shooter event, RUN is as much mental as it is physical. When we are faced with a shooting it is a surprise, the threat is unknown, and these issues cause us to have problems most people haven’t experienced. Have you ever heard of using the manta RUN HIDE FIGHT for an active shooter event? Sounds easy right? Believe me, when you are faced with an active shooter, like my husband and I were, it is the last thing you might think of unless you have a plan already thought out. That is why in the next few months, Troy and I are going to break down each component of RUN, HIDE, FIGHT to help you assess and make a plan to help save your life. Today we are going to talk about RUN and share what to look for when making your plan of escape.

Our guest this week is Detective Troy Zeeman who has been in Law Enforcement for over 25 years with many different assignments such as Patrol, Gang Units, and Traffic Investigations. He has been training active shooter response tactics since the Columbine school shooting in 1999. Troy and Shannon, his wife, founded Active Shooter Prep after surviving the Route 91 mass shooting in 2017 with a single mission, to provide knowledge and hope of survival in an active shooter event. We travel the United States training civilians on how to survive an active shooter event. Together we wrote “Active Shooter! How To Survive The Most Important 4 Minutes Of Your Life”, where we share our story of surviving the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the training we created from Troy’s many years of police training and our personal experience.
