The Get Balance podcast with Dr. Donnie explores the work-life balance and imbalance stories of firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency medical staff. It seeks to share the wisdom of those who have learned from doing things well. It also dives deep into learning from their imbalanced missteps when they did not align their day-to-day behaviors with their priorities in life. It shares the real-life stories of how and why first responders believe that effective self-care and good family relationships are foundational for a successful, fulfilling career and life. It busts the myth that you need to choose between success at work and at home.
