Kym Long with Revital Colorado joins me today to discuss the importance of mental health support for our first responders AND their spouses. Revital Colorado was created to be just that, a place for first responders to unwind and connect with people that FULLY understand what they are going through and to do so in a safe environment. Take a listen and then join us on this journey!

Have you heard that you are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with?

Probably. That's a fairly common phrase especially in the self development world.

What would it look like to surround yourself with people that support and encourage you in your relationships as well?

In our first responder world, we cannot waste time with our significant others. Forgiving quickly. Moving forward together is more important than ever.

This quick cut just may make you think differently about your relationship too!

Burnout seems to be a common topic these days and there is really no imagining why. After 4 years of processing trauma, loosing friends over political views, defending our responders and dealing with an overall increased hostility in the world...we are done!

I recently listened to a podcast on Burnout for our responders and it got me thinking...what does this look like for the families and significant others that experience secondary trauma, fatigue and exhaustion from every day life.

In today's solo episode I get real and honest about where I am and the steps I'm taking to get through it and ultimately work to prevent Burnout again!

I was told recently that I have thick skin. That is true. What is more important is the mindset I choose to operate in on a daily basis.

As First Responder spouses, the right mindset is critical to your health, longevity and the longevity of your spouse's career.

I have a story to share this week and the lessons that came with it.

For the book I mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N48NM33/?coliid=IXTF7ZAX6JHI6&colid=1JZBC8BXGU84Z&psc=0&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_lstpd_AY3QC499GTHDAK3YC53V

Today I have the distinct pleasure of getting to have a discussion with my friend Brianne. She is a paramedics wife, a Colorado girl like myself, married to her high school sweetheart, and a business owner herself.

Today we are going to talk about the way this lifestyle has changed us and how we’ve continued to adapt as we’ve gone on. I’m personally looking forward to some insight into being a paramedic family and the ways it compares to the police world.

Thank you Brianne for being on the show, as promised here are the details for her Thriving VA business:
