We are continuing to bring awareness to National Sexual Assault Awareness Month with this incredible episode where Robert and Margaret had the honor of speaking with, Detective Corporal Brett Naprava of the Hazelton City Police Department. Listen to Detective Bea explain what it is like working on special victims cases in her city and the community network she works with to solve, combat, and help/support children who have been abused. We also dive deep into the mental toll a job like criminal law enforcement can take on a person and hear Detective Bea's own empowering story of prioritizing her mental health and advocating for mental health awareness/support for law enforcement officers who lead heavy and stressful careers. She has become a Self Esteem and Happiness Life Coach for women and has her own business, Live Wildly Happy, a subscription based program guiding women to build up their self esteem and empower them to lead happy fulfilled lives. This is truly an inspiring conversation with Detective B, who is doing amazing work in our local community by spreading positivity, hope, and safety to women and children.
