106: No BS, Fixing Physical and Mental Stress, Erica Gaines, TacMobility

Blue Grit Radio : the better cops and community podcast

If you’re a first responder on social media, you NEED to be following Erica and TacMobility. Not only will you see simple movements to fix and aid posture, mobility, chronic pain, but statements that buck the narratives that are keeping us down mentally, socially, emotionally.
Erica’s a straight shooter; she tells us how it is (and frankly that’s necessary at times if we are going to kill stigmas about seeking help and actually undoing years and decades of physical and mental damage this career can dole out).
We talk about how Erica with her yoga background came to start working and integrating with law enforcement culture. We talk how mind and body are connected with stress and trauma, and give steps to start un****ing ourselves.
Erica covers a lot of the chronic, continual issues most of us will face at some point if not all of our careers, from the hindering gear to the Shiftwork and struggles with de-stressing mind AND body- and what we can do about it daily!
