Law Enforcement Life Coach / Sometimes Heroes Need Help Podcast

What happens when you're the threat to your own survival. Making ourselves a priority by addressing the threats that come from within starts the conversation. A podcast focused on caring and improving the lives for those that give of themselves when there is nothing left to give. Although the program is primarily centered around the first responder, the life lessons and struggles are universal in nature. The program addresses and looks to improve the lives of first responders by addressing our personal, professional, financial, physical and mental health. Historically difficult conversations to have are normalized and stigmas associated with asking for help are removed.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with retired Leo, author, and Boulder Crest Struggle Well guide, JP McMichael. JP and I discuss his passion for helping those that have experienced trauma find a way forward. We discussed his line of children books as well as his role as a Struggle Well Guide for the Boulder Crest Foundation. Sit back and give this episode a listen and If you or somebody you love is struggling with trauma, contact JP and the Boulder Crest Foundation to find out more about post traumatic growth.
