The Next Shift Podcast
This is a podcast dedicated to serving current and former law enforcement, by sharing the stories of my own personal transition out of law enforcement, lessons learned through the transition and since, as well as the stories of officers who’ve also transitioned out, their significant others to gain that perspective, and resources for embracing their Next Shift.
It is MY mission to help YOU remember who you are/were behind the badge by helping you REdiscover your identity, REdefine your purpose, and REignite your passions so that you can create the life you WANT to live.
The Next Shift Podcast
An emotional Police Week reflection
This week's episode is an emotional reflection of my very first Police Week.
In case you missed it, I was able to and honored to attend Police Week, as a partner with T-Priority (T-Mobile's First Responder Solution). It was an incredible week talking with survivors, sharing stories, and honoring our fallen...including my husband and I's friend, Cody...who was killed in the line of duty February 29, 2024.
Once I got home, I had to take a couple of days to let it all sink in, then decided to record a podcast and encourage you to take a trip to the National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum...if not during police week...at some point.
We hear about these officers when they're taken from us...but seeing 24,000+ names lining panel after panel of the wall...unlike anything I've ever seen. It was solemn reminder that we are NEVER alone...in life, in loss, and in grief.
If you weren't able to catch the videos I filmed with the T-Priority team on LinkedIn, you can catch them, here, and make sure to follow their page to see how they're not only showing up for first responders, but creating solutions for them. I posted more behind-the-scenes footage and reflections of each day on my personal LinkedIn page.
If you've ever been to police week...I'd love to hear your reflections through either the text option above, or by you sharing the episode with your network and your reflections as a caption.
If you haven't already...make sure you follow me on LinkedIn and on Instagram at @_nextshift_ AND @the_jessflores
