HAVE HOPE. Do good. There is work to be done. Don't miss out by folding to the evil that is around us. Good overcomes evil. Truth exists.
Today's episode is extra special. YOUR support system is essential and it begins at home. Life is crazy enough with all we do in it. Couple that with our careers and it can get very messy very quickly if we don't take the necessary steps to prioritize and plan. Take a listen as my wife and I discuss things related to the first responder support system and her new blog Confessions of A Medic's Wife

Everyone has an opinion. Sometimes we allow those opinions to annoy us and become frustrated or we disregard them and dismiss any information that they contain. What if we actually looked at those opinions or even a noisy situation, peel back the layers of fluff and see what value is underneath? What can we take that may nurture us or those around us on the journey? Take a listen as we dive into opinions and how to navigate through them.

Denial is a problem in our culture. It starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with each one of us. If we are denying that we have issues, we've just added to the mess. Taking responsibility for our actions and owning our mistakes will bring freedom and progress and may even help others find freedom and motivation to deal with the demons within. Take a listen as I talk about Jocko Podcast 217 and things pertaining to denial.

Identity. It can be an uncomfortable conversation. However, it is one that must occur. Where we place our identity directly impacts our ability to help others. It also affects truth and how we define freedom and even our success. Take ownership of where you are and what you need to do in discovering the problem areas and making the changes necessary. No excuses.

We all have a perspective on life, family, work and so forth. At some point or another in your life, something or someone will provide information that may give you a different perspective on either a person, a place or a situation. Perspective can be a flat, one-dimensional view or it can bring depth and detail as a three-dimensional object can. It's all in the information that you allow to come through, be it something that you realize or something that somebody or something else helps you realize.
This episode is about how our perspective may need some adjustments, some tweaking. As we begin this new year, I want you to be able to see your goals, your challenges, your need for improvement with focus, with 20/20 in 2020.

As we come to the day of gift giving, let's look at what that means as EMS providers. You have gifts to give up to and including yourself. What you do with your gifts and how you add value is important.

Think about the last time you were cold and had the chance to cover yourself with a warm blanket. Now recall how you relaxed in that moment. Now think about it in terms of when someone we are caring for is given a warm blanket. How does that make them feel in relation to their condition? Does it change the dynamic in how you are able to care for them? Does it add a layer of trust between you and them to where it decreases the stress of their situation and allows you to do what you do well? On today's episode, I am going to dive into the topic of trust and how a warm blanket is more than just...well...a warm blanket.

Emotions. We all have them. Some are much more pronounced than others, but in the end, we all get emotional to a certain point. In this episode, I will talk about 3 key points in regards to our emotions. We must first acknowledge that we have them, we must then learn to discipline them and then we must allow them to happen. Take a listen as I get all emotional on emotions! If you ever need someone to talk to, never hesitate to email or message me on Facebook and if I can't provide the help or guidance you need, I know many others that can and will be happy to do so.

Please remember that TODAY, 11/16/2018, my friend and colleague James Boomhower is telling his story at THIS IS MY BRAVE!
From James:
For those of you that don't know; mental health is my jam. I work hard to advocate for the mental health of civil servants throughout the country and have been very fortunate to have many opportunities to do this. This Friday I will be telling my story again with a fantastic group of individuals all who work to destigmatize mental health issues through storytelling. "This is my Brave" is an awesome non for profit that works hard to advocate for these shows all throughout the country. If you can't attend Friday's show please consider sending a small donation there way if you can. I know it's the holiday season and this is when everyone asks for some cash but you'd be directly helping an amazing program whose message is near and dear to my heart.

In today's episode, paramedic Joey Loehner and I discuss patient advocacy and some of the details on how to do this well. This is part 1 of a 2 part series.
Please check out my friend James Boomhower and hear his story on This is My Brave.
Here is a message from James:
For those of you that don't know; mental health is my jam. I work hard to advocate for the mental health of civil servants throughout the country and have been very fortunate to have many opportunities to do this. This Friday I will be telling my story again with a fantastic group of individuals all who work to destigmatize mental health issues through storytelling. "This is my Brave" is an awesome non for profit that works hard to advocate for these shows all throughout the country. If you can't attend Friday's show please consider sending a small donation there way if you can. I know it's the holiday season and this is when everyone asks for some cash but you'd be directly helping an amazing program whose message is near and dear to my heart.

Our past can bring about positive change when we build on the good experiences. However, if we don't learn from the bad and have a plan for the ugly parts of that past, it can have a negative and even fatal impact on our career and our lives. Check out today's podcast as we dive into some tips about how to make the most of our past!
Fear comes in different forms. Our responsibility as professionals is to dispel fear through education and reassurance. We need to be advocating for our patients and realizing that what they and their loved ones are going through may in fact shake them their core. We have the ability to bring understanding and trust which will enable better care and provide an atmosphere of trust with those we care for.

People are all around us. From our patients to their friends and families, to our colleagues and our own friends and family, we are around others that impact how we care for others. In this episode, lets break the people group down to see who is around us and how we should interact with them.
What is your passion? Do you know what it is? Have you found something you love to do? Would it matter if you didn't need the income? Would you still do it, be drawn to it and strive to impact the lives of others with it? Is it really your passion or just a fade? Take a listen as we look at this thing called "passion".
