Meet Erin Jane, a life and wellness coach specialising in supporting first responders and their loved ones. Erin's unique perspective stems from her dual experience as a former police officer in Australia and now as the spouse of an American first responder.
Throughout our conversation, we'll explore the delicate balance between structure and flow in high-stress roles, and the essential need for compassion and empathy in a field often dominated by masculinity.
Erin shares the transformative impact of books like "The Body Keeps the Score" and "What Happened to You?" on her understanding of human behaviour. We'll delve into the significance of being proactive about mental wellness and the stigma surrounding seeking help. Erin's vision of studying psychology to treat trauma in first responders and her emphasis on authenticity and honesty will surely resonate.We'll also discuss the practical ways Erin supports her partner, a seasoned firefighter, in coping with the mental and physical demands of his work. From creating a supportive community to understanding body language, Erin's insights are invaluable.
Parenting, relationships, personal boundaries, and the critical importance of self-care all feature prominently in our conversation. Erin's story from policing to coaching and her dedication to holding space for others highlight the deep emotional component involved in first responder roles.
Sit back, relax, and join us for an enriching discussion as we uncover the layers of Erin Jane's work and wisdom.
