New podcast aims to reset the conversation on first responder wellness

“Blah Blah Blah … Something Wellness” cuts through check-the-box programs with honest conversations, real tools and support that resonates with cops

Officer wellness has become a growing priority in public safety, with agencies and organizations working hard to support the mental, physical and emotional health of first responders. But even with more resources available, many in the field still struggle to find programs that feel relevant to their everyday experiences. That’s where Blah Blah Blah… Something Wellness comes in — a new podcast from Law Enforcement Coaching that aims to bridge the gap with honest conversations, practical tools, and guidance from those who’ve lived the job.

Hosted by Tami Sharp, a former officer and founder of Law Enforcement Coaching, the podcast features monthly themes focused on issues facing first responders — like navigating toxic workplaces, learning from failure and making self-care sustainable. Each week, listeners will hear candid interviews, expert insights and boots-on-the-ground strategies. Plus a live coaching call will turn passive listening into active growth.

“It’s not about jargon or theoretical fixes,” said Sharp. “It’s about creating space for honest conversations and offering practical tools that can be used right away. Our goal is to meet first responders where they are — not where a slide deck says they should be.”

The podcast team includes current and former first responders, clinicians and leadership coaches who understand the job from the inside out.

Each month will focus on a single theme, with upcoming episodes focusing on the following:

  • June: Prioritizing Self-Care
  • July: Navigating Toxic Work Environments
  • August: Let’s Talk Failure
  • September: Money Mindset
  • October: Retirement Realities
  • November: Navigating Holiday Stressors
  • December: Addiction and Alcohol

Tune in on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts (iTunes). Just search Blah Blah Blah…Something Wellness and hit subscribe to join the conversation.
