Our sister, Jess Flores with Next Shift Podcast was featured on the news about her extremely important efforts. Ya’ll…the movement may actually be moving!
A former Kansas City Police Department officer is working to make life after law enforcement better for other former officers.
We are holding our friends at North College Hill Fire Department and the family of Lieutenant Eikens in our thoughts and hearts during this difficult time.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lieutenant Doug "Socks" Eikens. Doug has been a fixture on our department for over 30 years and he also proudly served with Colerain Fire, Hamilton County Urban Search & Rescue (Ohio US&R Region 6) and Greater Cincinnati HazMat over the years. Starting as a volunteer and most recently serving as our Fire Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer he was also the CPR instructor and is personally responsible for training hundreds of local residents. His knowledge of our city, buildings, streets and department was unmatched and he readily shared that knowledge making us all better. Doug was a great friend to many and he will be missed dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time of loss. We will share any arrangements as details are finalized.

🔥Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box—even if it means you have to reinvent yourself or take HEALTHY risks.
I wanted to share this and also brag about my husband for a sec…
From the moment he could walk, my husband was always the kid with big ideas and even bigger dreams. The kind of kid who got in trouble for talking too much in class, but who also saw opportunity where others didn't—like when he set up a neighborhood carnival in his front yard, charging admission for “fair” games he created himself. He learned the value of his hard work early on, like the time he shoveled a neighbor’s driveway in the dead of winter and was handed just 50 cents. That experience taught him to know his worth and never settle for less.
Fast forward to today, and that same kid has grown into a man who never stops evolving. When life threw him a curveball, and his long-standing gig was cut, he didn’t miss a beat. Instead, he reinvented himself entirely—because that’s just who he is.
I couldn’t be prouder of my husband for his relentless drive, creative spirit, and the way he pours his heart into everything he does. But more than anything, I admire his ability to connect with people, ignite their dreams, and help turn those dreams into reality. I’m honored to stand by his side as his wife and the mother of his children, and to be a dreamer and change-maker alongside him.

NEW EPISODE!
https://www.afterthetonesdrop.com/healing-in-the-wild-with-rocco-besednjak/
This episode is for anyone who’s faced the darkness and found the courage to seek the light. It’s for the warriors, the wounded, and anyone who believes in the power of second chances. Today’s guest is the ultimate comeback kid, Rocco Besednjak—a retired cop and Navy vet who stared down the barrel of despair and came out the other side swinging.
Rocco’s story isn’t just a tale of survival; it’s a saga of transformation. After being medically retired due to severe injuries, Rocco faced the gut-wrenching loss of his identity as a first responder. Depression and PTSD tried to knock him out, but Rocco found his therapy in the wild. He bought a slice of paradise nestled in national forest land and turned it into a sanctuary for wounded warriors and first responders. Welcome to Camp Hero Kentucky, where nature does the healing.

NEW EPISODE! https://www.afterthetonesdrop.com/guided-by-god-winks-with-marian-cosgrove/ In this powerful episode, we sit down with Marian Cosgrove, a law enforcement officer whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. From a childhood filled with both joy and profound trauma to navigating the complexities of failed marriages and a challenging military career, Marian faced a critical choice: succumb to self-destruction or fight with every ounce of strength she had. #firstresponders #lawenforcement #police #alcoholrecovery #recovery #advocate #mentalhealthmatters #armyveteran #military
NEW EPISODE!! https://www.afterthetonesdrop.com/the-elephant-in-the-room-age-and-gender-in-a-tradition-bound-male-dominated-industry/ This one’s gonna hit close to home, so if you’re easily offended, you might want to sit this one out. Thanks to a brave listener who reached out via email sharing her personal experience as a corrections officer, we’re taking a hard look at something that’s been festering in the world for too long—ageism and gender bias. Yeah, it’s not a comfortable topic, but that’s exactly why we’re diving into it. #firstresponders #staffingissues #generationalchange #compassion #growthmindset #ageisjustanumber #genderbias
Recovery—whether from PTSD, addiction, or any other struggle—isn’t a straight line. It’s messy, unpredictable, and sometimes feels like two steps forward, one step back. But that’s okay. The key is to keep moving, keep fighting, and never give up. Growth happens in the process, even on the hardest days. Remember, progress is still progress, no matter how small. Keep going—you’re stronger than you think. #RecoveryJourney #MentalHealthMatters #KeepGoing #PTSDRecovery #AddictionRecovery #growthmindset #growthmindsetcoach #weareallhuman #dontgiveup

NEW EPISODE! https://www.afterthetonesdrop.com/full-throttle-freedom-with-guest-chris-perry/ Ever felt like life’s a never-ending grindhouse flick? Well, buckle up, because this week we’ve got Chris Perry, a retired law enforcement officer who took the ultimate journey from the darkness of PTSD to the liberating high of motorcycle racing. Yeah, you heard me right. Chris talks about hitting rock bottom, where his emotions were as numb as a statue and fear was just a word in the dictionary. Imagine facing the crapstorm of law enforcement for nearly three decades and coming out the other side. It’s a story packed with more grit and guts than a Quentin Tarantino finale. Our guy Chris knows a thing or two about setting boundaries and the art of self-forgiveness – essential tools when you’re piecing together a shattered psyche. And here’s the kicker: he’s not just talking the talk. Along with therapy, motorcycle racing became a pivotal part of his healing. Ripping through 800 hours on a racetrack he built himself. Hell, each lap was a step towards reclaiming his soul. #firstresponders #lawenforcement #police #ptsdrecovery #ptsdawareness #ptsdsurvivor #healing #mentalhealthadvocate #peersupport #miraculous #afterthetonesdrop #hopedealer

NEW EPISODE! https://www.afterthetonesdrop.com/barefoot-and-badass-behind-the-scenes-of-grounding-techniques/ Alright, let’s talk grounding techniques. Now, I know what you’re thinking—mindfulness, hippies, patchouli—yeah, we’ve heard it all. But here’s the deal: grounding techniques are about pulling you back into the present moment, away from all those intrusive thoughts and feelings. Think of it as getting your feet and your mind firmly on the ground. It’s not just about standing barefoot in the grass (though that’s a part of it); it’s about using the earth’s energy to stabilize your own. #grounding #presentmoment #intrusivethoughts #mindfulness #dothework #mentalhealthrecovery #firstresponder #firefighter #leo #lawenforcement #police #dispatcher #correctionsofficer
NEW EPISODE! https://www.afterthetonesdrop.com/clash-of-expectations-understanding-emotional-reactions-and-biological-rudeness/ Ever been in a situation where you expected someone to react a certain way, and when they didn’t, you found yourself ready to go into fight mode? Yeah, that’s biological rudeness for you. It’s your autonomic nervous system flipping the switch to defense mode when your expectations aren’t met, and it’s a surefire way to create misunderstandings and conflicts in relationships. But here’s the kicker—understanding this can help you override those automatic responses and communicate more effectively. #defensive #miscommunication #expectations #letitgo #firstresponders #firefighter #lawenforcement #police #dispatcher #correctionsofficer #stressreduction #donttakeitpersonal

She shifted gears, managing cemeteries and then working at a funeral home where she discovered her knack for helping families during their toughest times. This experience opened up her second calling as a death doula helping folks crossover. #crossover #firstresponders #firstresponderfamily #lawenforcement #police #secondlife #secondchance #firstrespondermentalhealth #firefighter #emt #dispatcher
