Hello and welcome back to the Next Shift Podcast, season 2!
This is a SHORT episode that talks about what to expect this season...
- More lessons learned from me
- The spouses perspective of the LEOs transition
- Resources for those still in and going through the transition
- Wider variety of transition stories (ie. retired, medically retired, voluntary)
Part of the motivation for bringing in the spouse perspective, is it's one not talked about nearly enough and the transition, especially if unexpected is HARD AF on them as well..."they just don't get it," is NOT an excuse we can keep using.
Another part came from an ah ha moment during another podcast interview I did, where we were discussing how the family unit is NOT a priority for MOST police departments and it needs to be. Take care of your people and remember they are humans and they in turn will take care of "you," the department and community.
I am excited for this season and the interviews lined up so far! If YOU have an idea for a topic you would like to see covered, a specific guest, or want to share your transition story...please reach out!
