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
Closing out 2025 w/reflections & intentions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
WE MADE IT!
Another year has come and gone, can you believe it?!
This is a solo episode that I thought would be about 20 minutes and ended up being 48-ish minutes because this topic gets me fired up. It may be helpful to have a notebook or the notes section of your phone handy as you listen to this one.
Like with every episode, but especially the solo episodes...take what resonates and leave the rest. This episode is all about closing out 2025 with reflections and intentions...VERSUS shame, guilt, and judgement.
I mention the three women below and/or their podcasts in the episode, as well as the F.I.T. Method Workbook I created for you...which you can get, here.
- Dr. Medina Baumgart (Police Psychologist & wife of retired LEO) - follow her on Instagram and check out her podcast, here.
- Dina Campbell (NYPD officer & LEO wife) - follow her on IG and check out podcast, here.
- Katherine Boyle (Daughter of retired Philly cop) - follow her on IG and check out her podcast, here.
One last reminder to close out the year...
You are NOT alone. You are NOT stuck. You are NOT "just a cop."
Cheers to a new year!
