The Truly Mental podcast is a remarkable and essential resource for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of mental health in the context of law enforcement and first responders. As someone married to a police first responder, I greatly appreciate the perspective and voice that this podcast brings to the forefront. It emphasizes the importance of empathy, understanding, and collaboration in bridging gaps, eliminating fears, and rebuilding trust within our communities. The hosts, Jesse and Joe, tackle challenging topics with unapologetic honesty and genuine passion for their work, making each episode eye-opening and powerful.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the way it humanizes first responders by acknowledging their vulnerability and need for support. The hosts encourage their fellow officers to recognize that seeking help or peer support is not a sign of weakness but rather an essential step towards maintaining mental wellness. By addressing these issues head-on, the podcast fosters a culture where it's okay for first responders to be human and prioritize their mental health.
The worst aspect of this podcast is difficult to pinpoint as it excels in so many ways. However, if there was one area for improvement, it would be helpful to include more diverse perspectives from various professionals in the field on specific topics. This could provide a well-rounded perspective on mental health in law enforcement and offer listeners different insights on how to approach these complex issues.
In conclusion, The Truly Mental podcast is an invaluable resource that not only challenges societal stigmas surrounding mental health but also provides crucial support for first responders and their loved ones. Jesse and Joe's dedication to redefining toughness in the profession through open dialogue is commendable. Their work has the potential to save lives by encouraging individuals within law enforcement to seek help when needed without fear or shame. I eagerly anticipate future episodes and applaud them for their courage in addressing such vital matters with candor and accessibility.

Most are familiar with Peter Drucker's quote, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast," but I would say culture eats resources for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack in regards to policing.

Do you know why you believe what you believe? I love to challenge my own way of thinking and realize I only believe something because told me or because I have experienced. But does this make it right? Does "right" even exist? In this episode we offer some alternative ways to think about the profession of law enforcement in America. BeWell.
Whoa! It's 2022... Where the hell did 2021 go? Sorry, Fam - we have been off the grid for over a YEAR. Unacceptable, I know I know. We will be better. This is a catch up episode to what we have been up to and some things we have cooking. Please share it and help us get back on track to a growing, thriving, mentally well & resilient community.

In this episode we speak with Bettina Hernandez about her resilience in the midst of all she has been dealt in life. From San Antonio Police Officer to successful entrepreneur and coach, Bettina shares some insights she has learned along her journey. **Disclaimer - we do not condone the use of the words "crazy, insane, or referencing 'killing ourselves," as a way to explain working hard and staying busy.**
In this new episode we explain where we have been, what we have been doing, and where we are going. We appreciate everyone being patient with us and supporting us during our extended break. It has been nearly a year, but we are back and excited to help people get inspired and save some lives.
This is a tough episode as we talk about suicide and the tragic death of Jesse's little sister. Please be mindful that this episode is from 2019 and not current.
We are back and online. We will be releasing the original four episodes we had recorded before being shutdown. After that, starting on episode five, we will have all new content for release. ** We are no longer police officers as we both just left our profession to pursue our business venture as entrepreneurs**
