In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack the powerful meaning behind the quote: "Dig the well before the water runs dry." Learn the importance of being prepared (Amazon Affiliate) for all of life's unexpected events. As first responders, you train for the worst-case scenarios, always prepared to react at a moment's notice. But what about your own life? Too often, preparation for health, finances, relationships, and personal growth is put off until a crisis forces it into focus. This episode explores five practical ways you can start preparing for your future now—before you're forced to. We also reference Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s impactful words: "Healthy people have a million wishes, but a sick person only has one." Don't wait until the water runs dry—start digging your well today. 1. The Importance of Preparation Before Crisis Hits Understand why waiting until things fall apart—whether it's your health, finances, or emotional well-being—isn't an option for first responders. 2. Five Practical Ways to Prepare for Your Future Now: 1. Prioritize Your Health Before You're Forced To Example: It's easy to take your strength and endurance for granted—until an injury, illness, or stress-related condition takes you off the job. Why It Matters: Neglecting physical and mental health today could cost you your career, mobility, or even your life down the road. How to Prepare Now: Get regular checkups and listen to your body. Make sleep, diet, and exercise non-negotiable. Address mental health proactively—don't wait until you're breaking down. 2. Financially Prepare for the Day You Hang Up the Uniform Example: Many first responders live paycheck to paycheck, assuming their pension will be enough—until retirement arrives and they realize they're unprepared. Why It Matters: Unexpected expenses, medical emergencies, or job loss can derail even the most stable career. How to Prepare Now: Set up a second income stream—invest, start a side business, or develop a skill. Build an emergency fund for unexpected costs. Learn about retirement options and make sure you're investing early. 3. Strengthen Relationships Before You Need Them Example: Many first responders pour so much into work that family and friendships take a backseat—until they need support, and it's not there. Why It Matters: Isolation can be devastating when you're struggling with injury, job loss, or emotional burnout. How to Prepare Now: Prioritize date nights and family time—small efforts matter. Stay connected with old friends and mentors. Seek peer support and healthy friendships outside of work. 4. Mentally Prepare for Life After the Badge Example: Retirement or career changes can hit harder than expected, leading to identity crises or feelings of purposelessness. Why It Matters: Having a plan for what's next keeps you motivated and engaged in life. How to Prepare Now: Start thinking about what your purpose will be after law enforcement. Develop new skills and interests outside of work. Consider mentorship, coaching, or writing to pass on your experience. 5. Develop a Backup Plan for Every Major Area of Your Life Example: If something unexpected happens—injury, lawsuits, department changes, or economic downturns—will you be ready? Why It Matters: Those who prepare for uncertainty handle adversity better and recover faster. How to Prepare Now: Keep your resume updated and be ready to pivot. Stay educated on policy changes, pensions, and department shifts. Have an exit strategy—don't let the job define your entire future. 3. How Prepared Are You Right Now? Take a moment to reflect: If life threw you a curveball today, would you be ready? 4. The Difference Between Those Who Thrive and Those Who Struggle Learn why first responders who prepare ahead of time are the ones who handle life's biggest challenges with resilience and confidence. 5. Why the Best Time to Prepare is Today Discover small, actionable steps you can take right now to protect your future. Why This Matters: Waiting until your health fails, finances collapse, or relationships strain is too late. The best way to ensure stability and success in your future is to prepare for it today. Listen now to learn how to dig your well—before the water runs dry.

BIO: My name is Jen, and I am the host of the Investor Mama Podcast. I am a wife, mom, daughter, granddaughter, real estate investor, business owner, and project manager. I am an adamant reader and a consumer of content geared towards helping individuals reach financial independence. After years of learning, I thought it was about time I started producing and share my obsession with others. However, after being part of the financial independence movement for the past few years, I realized there was a gap in resources around personal finances geared towards moms. Trying to get ahead with money is one thing, trying to get ahead as a mom is whole other ball game. I started talking about money more and more with my mom friends and noticed a trend in the questions I was being asked. I didn't have all the answers but knew there were others out there who did and other successful super moms setting the example with their money. I thought to myself and said why not find them, interview them, and share their knowledge with other moms also trying to get financially ahead for their family. And so, Investor Mama was born! I believe anyone can achieve financial freedom and peace of mind by getting educated and changing their habits. I hope this podcast will be a resource and an inspiration to help you with your own money journey.

Many families in the military community are dealing with the BIG D, and I'm not talking about debt. I'm talking about divorce. It's the reality many married couples face, whether your military or not. Unfortunately, the military ratchets the degrees of difficulty in relationships when you add in frequent moves, unemployment, deployments, PTSD, and high-risk jobs. It's not a fun topic, but one many of you have asked me to cover because of a divorce's financial ramifications on couples. In this episode, I talk with Daniel Yerger, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, about how you can prepare your finances for a divorce. Daniel is a Certified Financial Planner®, Army PSYOP veteran, and the owner of MY Wealth Planners®, a fee-only RIA in Longmont, CO. Daniel is both a financial planning practitioner and researcher, as a doctoral student in Kansas State University's Personal Financial Planning Ph.D. program, where he studies compensation and conflicts of interest. Daniel shares insight on how to handle your finances before and after divorce, when to get help, and the unique financial aspects that impact service members and spouses in a divorce like retirement and VA disability benefits.
