The Unbroken Podcast

Kait always knew she wanted to be a cop but after an injury playing soccer in college left her out of commission, she began to pursue another service field, clinical psychology. Through her journey to get her Master's degree in the field, she found her way back to fitness and ultimately found herself in a place where she felt ready to apply for the academy. Kait graduated from the Police Academy and began her active service. What Kait didn't expect was the role that her Master's in clinical psy would play in her new career.

You aren't gonna wanna miss the rest of this conversation as we dive into what Kait is doing to be more aware of the trauma that our first responders face daily and how she, herself, is finding a way to navigate through it all.
