About this listen

Hi, police wife! Thank you so much for being here. I was in a place of loneliness and resentment as a police wife for many years. My husband and I kept having the same argument over and over: “You’re never home.” I fought against his job rather than accepting it and addressing issues that I had control over. Once I accepted the realities of police life and took care of myself, embraced my independence, and planned for myself and my children, my loneliness and resentment stopped. I found out how to be a happy police wife and how to deal with being a police wife. I truly believe that you can become happy as well by taking A SIP (Acceptance + Self-Care + Independence + and Planning for You = Happy Wife), which is the formula that this book covers.

This no-excuses, practical guide is setup for you to read a new section five minutes a day for 10 days; each day addresses a different topic:

1. Acceptance (A)
2. Self-Care Physical Activity (S)
3. Self-Care Sleep or Lack or It
4. Self-Care The Way You Look
5. Self-Care Nutrition
6. Self-Care Spiritual/Emotional
7. Self-Care Social
8. Independence- Solitude (I)
9. Independence- Motherhood Help
10. Planning for You (P)

Why Buy This Book?

1. Therapy or coaching will cost you $25 per hour minimum yet averages about $100 per hour.
2. I wrote this guide for first responder wives mothering young children. I could not find any other resources that were designed specifically for first responder wives in motherhood with young children, which I found to be the most challenging part thus far in my marriage.

Who Wrote This Guide?

I, Kristen Linton, MSW, PhD, a police wife for 8 years, a professionally trained social worker, and am now a university professor, created this guide. I have used my personal experience, Brofenbrenner's ecological systems theory, mindfulness, and backward planning to create this guide.

This book is the perfect combination on finding balance between being a Leo wife and also a motherhood, while taking care of yourself also. I have it saved so I can read it again or replay it as a reminder during those rough days and nights.

A beautiful balance

I enjoyed this book's content and narration. The writer's words of advice were practical, and she was honest and relatable. The narrator's voice was very peaceful and comforting to listen to as well.

we struggled early on in our dating relationship and problems seemed to amplify after we were married. It took time and a whole lot of patience but we came out even stronger. This talks about a lot of the struggles we faced. Dr Linton let's you know you are not alone. More importantly though Dr Linton helps you succeed.

Heartwarming and realistic advice that hits home!
