Show notes

Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. Short bursts of inspiration and motivation to get you started on your week. If you love the show please share with your family and friends.

Thank you for doing what you do. It's a very difficult environment but you serve everyday with distinction and honor. Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Keep up the good work.

I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol. I was contemplating hurting myself. I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819.

For a long time I was angry. I was bitter and I blamed people for the spot in life I was in. After therapy I started to forgive the people that I believe had wronged me over the years. At first, it was very difficult but over time I started to feel better. I felt a weight lifted from me and I started to become more happy and content.

If you are holding on to resentment and anger against someone I encourage you to forgive them. You don't have to verbally say this to them if you don't want to, but you can say it to your heart. Your mental health and wellness is dependent on this and you can do it.

Go out and have a good week and stay tuned for more great guests on the CJEvolution Podcast.

Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast: Microcast Monday - Do you really believe what you are telling people? Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. Short bursts of inspiration and motivation to get you started on your week.

A special thanks to all the listeners and supporters over the years. I also thank you for serving and protecting. Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Keep up the good work.

https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/

I want the people who are struggling right now to listen to me for a minute. Do you really believe the things you are telling people when you say you are doing good? Are you really? Because the people that know you well probably know that something is up. I did that all the time when I was struggling.

Chances are the only person that believes that is you. I know you are tired of struggling and facing your challenges. That is why you need to step forward and ask for help.

The only person that is standing in your way is you.

Make that call.

I believe everything happens for a reason. The older I get the more I realize that there no coincidences. The Universe puts opportunities and obstacles in our paths. It's up to us on the choices we make.

You might be thinking "my life is a mess". I am sorry if it is, but remember that this is happening for a reason. It could be to make you stronger. To make you realize that you shouldn't make the same mistake in the future.

A multitude of things, but it is for a reason.

Stay tuned for a great guest this week. Shilo Harris.

Show notes

Hello everyone and welcome back. Thank you for listening to the show. Please share with family and friends.

So excited to have my friend Rhonda Kelly back on the show. Rhonda is a retired Firefighter from Colorado, the National Director of Health Wellness and Resilience at Global Medical Response (GMR Life) and she is also the Executive Director at All Clear Foundation. WOW!

In 2019, ACF was founded by Global Medical Response as an autonomous public charity designed to serve and benefit the national Emergency Responder community. As one of the largest employers of Public Safety personnel in the U.S., GMR believes it has a duty to support the overall wellness of all Responders nationally.

All Clear Foundation is a 501c3 public charity whose mission is to improve the overall well-being and longevity of those who serve our communities in times of need. We believe that healthy Emergency Responders contribute to healthier communities.

We understand the daily demands of duty can take a toll on those who serve, whether as a Healthcare Worker or field Responder (EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement, Dispatch, Disaster Response, and others trained specifically to support our communities). This tool can also extend to our loved ones.

To better serve those who serve us, All Clear Foundation leverages the power of strategic partnerships to create easily accessible and navigable solutions across the expanse of wellness domains, improving Responder well-being and life expectancy.

In this interview, we highlight First Responder Health and Wellness
