In this episode, Dr. Medina Baumgart connects her experiences professionally as a psychologist supporting first responders and agencies and personally as a first responder spouse.
We go from her background from education to being an agency embedded mental health professional, and dive into the dynamics of adjusting back to home life for the first responder. Dr. Baumgart covers tips and insights that bring understanding for those in uniform to their spouses and families and how we can do it with intention.
Further, we talk about retirement, how to get there healthfully and the little things that will help ensure we are thriving and actually getting that pension we worked so hard for!
