The First Responders Armour

from Mad Mel’s Mic · host Melissa Smith

Send us Fan Mail Season 1, Episode 10; Welcome to episode ten where I make another song suggestion, a funny work story about “spiders” and the thought of the week. In today’s episode I will talk about returning home after a hospital stay, representative basketball, watching the news, doom scrolling, being “part of the change”, learning from each other plus more. I discuss how the family of first responders are impacted, challenging the stereotype and culture of the police. Song of the week: Trust Me Mate by Dean Lewis Thought of the week: “Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness” Fortem Australia https://fortemaustralia.org.au/
