Monica Crawford
My name is Monica Crawford and I am the owner and CEO of Five-0 Fierce and Fit. Tune into my podcast where I will discuss a myriad of topics relating to female first responders and the challenges we endure ranging from health and fitness to career topics. I also highlight some of the more controversial topics which everyone is thinking about but most are too afraid to talk about.
If you've ever struggled to know when to go on light duty after being informed you're pregnant, wondering about how your uniforms fit and body image post-birth, and navigating your career postpartum, this episode is for you.
Listen in as Kimberly Stratman (retired police Lieutenant with Dallas Police) and Jennifer Atherton (current LEO with Dallas Police and President of Dallas Police Women's Association) discuss these topics and more when navigating a career, pregnancy, motherhood and more.

Retired Dallas Police Lieutenant and current Life Coach, Kimberly Stratman, and I take a deep dive into mindset on this episode in a conversation about "intentional optimism".
Intentional optimism is a purposeful way of living. It is not false thoughts or even positive thinking. It is choosing to look for, find, and or create a thought about a situation.
We talk about this concept and how to apply it to your work and personal lives to help improve your daily headspace so you can always thrive in life and career.
