Episode 141 : How to Become a Chief Peace Officer with April Ervin

When you have a heart to give and a heart to serve, you can get lost in the mission. That's why we have to take that pause. Serve your purpose but don't lose yourself. And remember, we're not called to serve everybody. ~ April Ervin Do you love to help people? Most of us do. When we help others, it makes us feel good, as though we're somehow making the world better. That's not a bad thing, except when our helping depletes us to the point where we feel anxious, stressed and overwhelmed.  April Ervin knows how it feels to be depleted. At 35, her doctor warned April that she was on a path toward illness and health problems if she didn't take a pause and reassess her life and priorities. That's when April decided to become a Chief Peace Officer, intentionally stopping her mad race to achieve and taking the time to rest, reflect and finally recalibrate her choices and life. That focused approach allowed April to not only decrease her stress and overwhelm, but to actually be more effective in all areas of her life. Living our best lives as well as serving others must be goals that work together for us and those we care about. By making intentional decisions and understanding that we cannot serve everyone, we empower ourselves to deliver our best to others and ourselves.
