Episode Details

Often, we discuss loss, grief, and resilience in this first responder career.  Too often, what we see and manage in our jobs collides with the stress and trauma of our personal lives.  When is enough, ENOUGH? When is it all... just too much?

Fellow former police sergeant, wellness advocate, author, podcaster, returning guest and friend Chris Littrell is a shining example of what resilience looks like.  He shows us that its not pretty. It's not polished.  We discuss all that.. and how it is a continual effort, challenge, and process.

I struggle to find the appropriate words to capture his role modeling to us all- as he has shared publicly about the unimaginable: the recent loss of his daughter, amidst his continual post traumatic growth journey.

In a raw, personal, and collaborative event, we are joined by fellow former police sergeant, LEO, wellness advocate, author, podcaster, returning guest, and friend John Kelly- who has been along him in the journey- as our unified goals and to share in conversation for our first responder community- that we may all struggle a little better, TOGETHER.
