100 Episodes Strong: What Law Enforcement Marriage Has Taught Us About Love & Resilience
After 100 episodes of helping police couples navigate life behind the badge, Cyndi and her husband open up about what they've learned — the struggles, the growth, and how love and connection can outlast hypervigilance, stress, and the job.
In this heartfelt 100th episode, Cyndi celebrates the journey of Code4Couples alongside her husband as he interviews her with listener-submitted questions. Together, they reflect on how the podcast has evolved, how law enforcement life shaped their marriage, and the growth, struggles, and resilience that came with it. They open up about communication, compassion, hypervigilance, trauma, and how both partners learned to adapt and heal through the ups and downs of police life.
You'll hear:
How Code4Couples has impacted their relationship and community
Lessons from living through hypervigilance and long shifts
The truth about compassion, communication, and boundaries
Why both partners must grow through the job's impact
How post-traumatic stress affects the whole family
