In this powerful episode, I sit down with Michelle — a former police officer whose career was marked by courage, commitment, and resilience, including navigating the aftermath of an officer-involved shooting. After years of dedicated service and deep involvement in her department, Michelle has taken on new roles: a full-time law enforcement wife, a proud stepmom, and now, a background investigator helping shape the next generation of officers.

We dive into what she looks for in police applicants, her insights on de-escalation and trauma, and how her experiences have shaped her perspectives on life, family, and service. Michelle opens up about the realities of supporting a spouse in uniform and gives heartfelt advice to fellow LEO wives, husbands, and parents.

This is a full-circle conversation filled with strength, purpose, and invaluable wisdom for anyone connected to law enforcement. Don’t miss it.
