In this episode, Doug, Karen, and Chris discuss the how taking care of your mental health encompasses taking care of your whole health...physical, nutritional, spiritual, and relational. They talk about the ease of giving excuses to not focus on oneself and the impact that can have on your overall health, and in turn, especially in the first responder community, mental health. Doug discusses the "wheelbarrow effect" in relation to the career and family, and how if that wheelbarrow is not emptied from time to time, it will eventually tip.
The show wraps up discussing Survive First's holiday party at Dirty Oar Beer Company, December 21 at 6:00 pm, the Run for Responders 5k, being held in Cocoa Village on January 4, 2020 at 6:00 pm, and our Inaugural First Responder Ball, to be held June 13, 2020.
