The Only Ship Worth a Hoot: Relationship

Send a textLast week was a lot.  Tim's wake (see episode 124 for details), my grandmothers funeral, and joining Threads.  Relationships were on full display through those experiences and lots of things caught my attention.Firefighters have complex relationships with so many things but it seems like our interpersonal relationships could not be more simple.  The commonalities between us can make conversations very easy, but also the familiarity can keep us more reserved.Being part of a relationship also means doing the work before and after the hard conversations.  Nobody ever solved a problem with a catchy one-liner.  And sometimes it takes recognizing that you are not the right person for some discussions and relationships to help the organization and your mental well being overall.Support the showAffiliate links:Rescue1CBD Use code TAILBOARD for 15% off Frontline Optics use code TAILBOARD for 15% offFourth Frontier.com Use code FFTailboard for 25% discount on the X2 strapAthletic Brewing- Code TTFP10Submit topics/request guests Thank you for listening and let's all keep working to be more capable and durable both on shift and away from it.
