Episode Description:
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we’re taking you on a journey through one of the toughest chapters of my life—a time when everything seemed to be falling apart, both on the job and at home. From the chaos of an active shooter situation that left me questioning my own abilities, to a debilitating injury that sidelined me just as I reached my goal of joining the SWAT team, this was a moment that brought me to my knees. Add to that a marriage on the rocks and the struggles of shared custody, financial strain, and an overwhelming sense of self-doubt, and it was truly a time that tested my resilience to the core.
But this isn’t just a story about hardship—it’s a story about finding strength in the struggle. It’s about the importance of taking a knee, drinking water, and reshooting your azimuth when life tries to knock you down. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt lost, doubted themselves, or faced obstacles that seemed insurmountable. I’ll share the lessons I learned and how I found my “why” in the support of those around me, ultimately leading me to rebuild myself and continue the mission.
Join me for a raw, unfiltered look at what it means to be in the trenches of life and emerge stronger. And if this episode resonates with you, we’d be so grateful if you’d take a moment to follow, rate, and leave a review. Your support helps us reach others who may need this message. Let’s keep going, together.
