Hmmm, nothing comes to mind 🤔

Breaching doors, wearing a duty belt for 12 hours, then folding into a patrol car seat. Your low back has been keeping receipts on all of it.

Recovery has to be part of the job, same as training.

Comment GUIDE and I’ll send you the free guide with mobility drills for your low back and hips.

The recruiting video sells car chases and SWAT gear.

Then the real job shows up. Narcan in a gas station bathroom. The same family on the third generation of the same calls. Paperwork until 2am.

It adds up in your body long before you notice it.

That’s what we work on in Burnout Recovery. We’re in Erie County NY Oct 27 and Hopewell NJ Oct 30.

Vest. Seatbelt. Hours hunched over a laptop writing reports. Then you wonder why your shoulders live up by your ears.

This is one of the releases I teach in every training, using the same cork ball every officer gets in class.

Place the ball just below your collarbone, in the soft spot at the front of your shoulder. Support yourself on a block or your forearm and slowly let your weight settle into it. Breathe. Stay 60–90 seconds, then switch sides.

When you’re stressed, your chest guards and your breath gets shallow. Opening this spot gives your breath room to move again.

Skip bone, and back off if anything feels sharp, numb, or tingly.

Save this for the next time your chest feels like it’s still wearing the vest.

Years from now, your officers are going to describe what it was like to work for you.

Whether you were consistent. Whether you backed them. Whether you showed up to the BBQ.

Every sergeant, lieutenant, and captain is building that legacy right now, on purpose or by accident.

So I built you an AI interview to figure out what yours is. It walks you through your legacy (the good and the not-so-good), lands you on one core value, and works backwards into a 3-month plan you can actually practice.

It’s one piece of what we teach in Leading Resilient Teams.

What did I miss??

There’s a reason wellness & resiliency matter so much for police.

Which one’s hitting you hardest this week?

Most of you are carrying several of these at the same time and still calling yourself “fine.”

Your stress makes sense. Now let’s do something with it.

We’re bringing Burnout Recovery to Erie County NY on Oct 27 and Hopewell NJ on Oct 30.

Someone has to say it out loud. Rest is part of the job.🗣️🗣️

Would you take a sabbatical if your agency offered one? Be honest.

We got into something with Andy Stumpf that I don’t hear anyone in this profession talking about.

What if the problem isn’t the officer who burned out at year 15?

What if it’s the fact that we never gave them a single chance to step away and come back?

I’ve seen too many good cops lose the parts of themselves that made them good at this job. This conversation is about keeping those parts intact.
