Episode Details

This job can be unrelenting at times, and what’s more is when our system, culture and bossed make it that much harder.

In this episode, I chat with Monica about her experiences and insights, which she has detailed in her book, Thriving Inside the Thin Blue Line.  We discuss not only adversity she faced, but how fitness and health practice can help us develop resilience as police officers and first responders.  Further, we talk about what police culture needs in this realms- which starts with each of us.

Monica takes her experiences from a toxic work environment within the law enforcement world, along with education and experience with nutrition coaching and fitness programming to help first responders to prioritize their mental and physical health.  

To detail her experience in law enforcement and provide the best health and wellness resources possible to female first responders, Monica published her book, “Thriving Inside the Thin Blue Line: Identifying Abuse, Taking Back Control, and Cultivating Fulfillment and in Your Life and Career,” in July 2024.
