Ep. 36 - Gina Rollo White - Mindfulness

Send Gary a Message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2209946/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I'm speaking with Gina Rollo White about an incredibly important topic: mindfulness, and how it can be applied in meaningful, practical ways for first responders. Those who serve in law enforcement, fire, EMS, corrections, and other public safety roles face constant high-stress situations, fast decision-making, and the emotional weight that comes with the job. Mindfulness is often thought of as something quiet or abstract, but in reality, it can be a powerful tool for building resilience, improving focus, and supporting overall wellness in the field. Gina brings valuable experience and insight into how mindfulness can be integrated into the daily lives of those on the front lines.
