Law Enforcement Life Coach / Sometimes Heroes Need Help Podcast

By: John Kelly
  • Summary

  • What happens when you're the threat to your own survival. Making ourselves a priority by addressing the threats that come from within starts the conversation. A podcast focused on caring and improving the lives for those that give of themselves when there is nothing left to give. Although the program is primarily centered around the first responder, the life lessons and struggles are universal in nature. The program addresses and looks to improve the lives of first responders by addressing our personal, professional, financial, physical and mental health. Historically difficult conversations to have are normalized and stigmas associated with asking for help are removed.

  • Doug White / Hiding In Plain Sight / The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward
    Nov 19 2024

    This week I had the great pleasure of sitting down with retired LEO and Air Force Veteran, Doug White. Doug recently authored, "Hiding In Plain Sight- The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward" . We discussed his career and life, the failures, and more importantly the lessons learned. Doug is paying it forward in a meaningful, impactful way. Sit back and give this episode a listen and come away a better version of you for doing so.

    More About Doug:
    My journey spans over 30 years of service as a veteran and law enforcement officer—a journey filled with both triumphs and profound challenges. Like so many in these fields, I encountered the heavy toll that trauma can exact on the mind, body, and spirit. My breaking point came one night, alone on a midnight shift, behind a school with my hand on my pistol, considering an irreversible option.

    But I was saved by grace, by the unwavering love and strength of my wife, and by her faith in God. That moment didn’t just pull me back—it set me on a new path. A path not focused on trauma, but on growth, resilience, and transformation.

    Today, I’m the founder of Tell This Story LLC, an organization dedicated to empowering veterans, first responders, and their families. My mission is to help others grow beyond the struggles we often face in silence. It's not about living in the shadow of our trauma or retelling the same story over and over—it’s about the hard work of becoming better, transitioning into a healthy and fulfilling life after service, and embracing the strength that comes from being honest and vulnerable.

    I wrote 'Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward' as a cautionary tale, sharing my personal and professional journey, but more importantly, as a message of hope. I believe in the power of owning our stories—not as victims, but as victors. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to offer a safe space for others to share their experiences, ask for help, and find healing and growth....
