We talk about parenting/co-parenting, the role of therapy and peer support, and learning to recognize your limits in a career that constantly asks more of you.  Naomi also shares how her husband (another active police officer) was able to support and get through to her about the changes he was seeing in her.

    An honest Conversation About Not Losing Yourself to the Job and Seeking Help When Necessary

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with a current law enforcement officer who shares an honest, anonymous conversation about the realities of the job, marriage, and mental health. Starting his career during a period of national unrest, he reflects on how the work has shaped his identity, impacted his home life, and challenged him in ways he never expected. We talk about not losing yourself to the job, the strain policing can place on relationships, and why asking for help is especially hard when you’re the one everyone else turns to.  This conversation holds a lot of great insight and tactical takeaways - this is a must listen to anyone in law enforcement, or in a relationship with someone in law enforcement.  Let me know what you thought of this episode: theLTsdaughter@gmail.com Connect with Me 🌐 Website: www.beyondtheuniform.co 📸 Instagram: @theltsdaughter 📧 Email: theltsdaughter@gmail.com Support the show Get the Law Enforcement Family Connection Workbook HERE
