Let's learn to thrive, not just survive!
Do you ever feel like your high-stress career is sucking the life out of your life? Or does it feel like just yesterday, you were so pumped to get to work, feeling like you were really making a difference? But now, it's like the spark's gone. You clock in, do your thing, and clock out. The fire of your calling’s been doused, and now you’re just going through the motions.
Then you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m your host, Bart Leger, and I’ve been right where you are. That’s why I started “Surviving Your Shift,” a podcast dedicated to helping people just like you, first responders, and other frontline professionals build resilience in your high-stress career.
Each week, I’ll bring you practical strategies for dealing with everything, from balancing shift work with home life to dealing with responder burnout, post-traumatic stress, and how to support your peers. You’ll also hear stories from the field, tips from experts, and just open, honest conversations about the stuff we all deal with, but don't always talk about whether you're a rookie or a seasoned pro.
Like many of you, I started my career with a sense of calling and purpose. But the job changed me in ways I hadn't planned. It wasn’t until I connected with those who knew what I was going through that I found hope again. Their stories, their struggles, and their wins gave me hope.
So, as a retired first responder with over 25 years of experience and a board-certified professional in traumatic stress who has been there, I've equipped thousands of people who face the daily challenges of high-pressure jobs like yours with the practical action steps they need to stop treating everything in their life as if it was a 911 emergency and regain full control of their life.
Be sure to hit follow and join me each week.
Till next time, “Let’s begin to thrive, not just survive.”
