    The Mind/Body Connection and How it Affects Law Enforcement

    The Mind/Body Connection and How it Affects Law Enforcement

    In this week’s episode of The Pain Changer®, I chat with Chad Bruckner. Chad is a motivational speaker, author and police life coach. Chad is a retired police detective from Pennsylvania and an Army combat veteran. Chad served for 21 years in government service. 
    I met Chad at a Wellness Conference in June for first responders that was held in Portland, ME. Chad spoke at the conference, and what he had to say was incredibly important, and very inspiring. He’s also one of the first men I’ve heard mention Brene Brown by name! That my friends, is a man worth listening to. 
    Chad just launched an incredible book that I have already purchased in his presale, called The Holy Trinity of Successful and Healthy Police Organizations. There is a link below to purchase your own copy.
    Chad really understands what needs to change within the culture of law enforcement, so more officers can have a healthy mindset, avoid burnout and enjoy a life outside of work.
    In this episode, you will learn: 
    How the mind/body connection impacts law enforcementWhat happens when officers are not getting the support they need or they work in a toxic cultureWhat Chad learned from his 20+ years of service and how he’s using those lessons to help other officersWhat the Holy Trinity for Successful And Healthy Police Organizations is and why each piece is so important

    Letting Go by Letting Be with Michael Allard

    In this week’s episode of The Pain Changer®, I chat with Michael Allard who for 30 years has been practicing Dzogchen Meditation on a daily basis on & off the cushion, as revealed to him by his Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen Masters.

    I met Michael during my latest Ayahuasca retreat, and immediately respected him. He chose to do a 3 day fast on top of the vow of silence during ceremony! In full disclosure, I wasn’t ready to fully let go of food as well as my words, and I admired him for doing so! 
    Michael and I have a deep conversation in this episode about the power of meditation, what led him to meditate, as well as what Ayahuasca has given us both.

    Self-Care for First Responders Essential Strategies to Prevent Burnout and Enhance Performance with Chris Chandler-Yates

    Self-Care for First Responders Essential Strategies to Prevent Burnout and Enhance Performance with Chris Chandler-Yates

    In this episode, Chris Chandler-Yates shared with me his personal experience as a police officer and how that rebuilt his life after a career of trauma. Being a former police officer has really influenced him a lot into doing what he does now. Chris joined the NZ Police in 2011 and after a seven-year career, he experienced severe burnout that caused him to leave the job he once loved.

    After a journey of self-care, recovery, and personal development, he's now hyper passionate about helping officers take charge of their mental health and significantly reduce the chance of burnout. He lives to ensure others learn to see themselves so they don't go through the pain he once experienced.

    Chris speaks very vulnerably and openly about the personal challenges he faced from burnout, such as almost breaking his marital vows, as well as some of the tough cases that led him there, and the impact they still have on him today, such as losing his sense of smell after one particular case. Chris is incredibly real, and I know he’s not the only officer who has struggled to this degree…but he is one of the few who are courageous enough to speak about it in a public forum.

    You can find him on his website createfromwhy.com

    In this episode, you will learn: 
    What is the life of being a police officer Root causes of trauma responses The importance of knowing “why” you do what you do How to deal with burnout and trauma by the importance of self-careIf you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

Wonderful podcast!

This is a fantastic and educational podcast, all about pain. Relief! Katie is very authentic, and does great episodes, both on her solo shows, and her interviews. I caught have learned a lot so far, and I am looking forward to more great content in the future! I highly recommend it!

Stephanie MF ,

The Pain Changer is a Game Changer

I've worked with Katie for almost a couple years and even before then, she's always been so incredibly helpful to me! She has helped me to "think" outside the box, realize that pain, whether it's physical or emotional, can truly be healed by being aware of and unravelling the patterns deep within which no longer serve us, and that pain definitely does not mean permanent nor does your past define who you are!

This podcast has definitely given me some good reminders of patterns I may have still been stuck in and also new lessons that needed to be learned. I truly believe it will reach a massive audience and I can't wait to see what milestone happens next! :)
