Manage episode 418391612 series 3455794
In a special feature during their season break, After the Tones Drop presents an insightful episode from "The Next Shift Podcast" entitled "YOU ARE NOT ALONE," hosted by Jess Flores. This episode delves into the complex emotions and experiences that many first responders face when transitioning out of active service. Jess, drawing from her personal journey of leaving law enforcement 7.5 years ago, shares the profound sense of isolation she encountered—an experience echoed by her former colleagues and misunderstood by those outside the law enforcement community.
To better understand and address these feelings, Jess created a survey distributed among her peers who had also left the field. The survey collected their experiences regarding the length of service, their emotional states post-transition, and their advice for others considering a similar path. The responses revealed a shared experience of validation and relief, emphasizing that these feelings are more common than one might think.
Jess emphasizes the importance of recognizing that no one is alone in this transition. Through "The Next Shift," she aims to build a supportive network of former officers who can provide guidance and understanding to those navigating the complexities of leaving active duty.
Listeners are encouraged to connect with Jess and the community she's fostering by following her on LinkedIn and Instagram at @nextshift and @the_jessflores. The episode invites listeners to engage by filling out the survey, sharing the podcast on social media, and tagging Jess to broaden the reach and impact of this supportive network.
