Hi! I'm glad you're here!...this is some powerful information. When you listen to this episode, consider this: Nicole is more than just a business colleague and mutual advocate for bringing justice to victims and survivors of interpersonal violence; she is a good friend, confidant, and someone whose integrity and unwavering dedication inspire everyone around her to do better and be better, both professionally and personally. I want to tell you a little bit more about Nicole than I have in past episode notes, because who she is, and what she has accomplished, is important for you to know in understanding why I consider Nicole such an important asset to this show. Nicole Florisi is a dedicated law enforcement professional from Jerome, Arizona, with a career that spans over two decades. Her commitment to justice, education, and community well-being is truly inspiring, and it's the kind of dedication I strive for both personally and professionally. However, Nicole has taken it even further with her impressive and multifaceted expertise, which uniquely places her at the intersection of policing, mental health, and survivor advocacy—areas where her impact is felt deeply. You'll hear the dedication and passion in her voice as the interview goes on. Nicole's journey began in the Verde Valley region of Arizona, where she served as a police officer and later as a sergeant. She maintains her law enforcement certification and continues to serve with Jerome PD as a reserve officer. Beyond her law enforcement roles, Nicole's vision for supporting survivors led her to become the executive director of a women's shelter, where she applied her skills to advocate for and empower those affected by interpersonal violence. In a previous employment position with Virtra, Nicole authored 15 hours of curriculum for VirTra's V-VICTA® program, focusing on topics like mental illness, trauma, and crisis communication. Transitioning from frontline policing to specialized training, Nicole became a law enforcement subject matter expert and instructor with Force Science, an organization renowned for its research and training in human behavior and use-of-force science. Her work emphasizes the importance of brain fitness and resilience for first responders, integrating psychological principles into practical training to enhance decision-making and reduce harm. Impressive? Absolutely! And this is how Force Science describes Nicole: Nicole has extensive experience as an educator, police officer, and therapist. She provides front-line instruction in de-escalation, crisis communications, and force encounters investigations. With over 25 years of experience, she has held positions including communications specialist, patrol officer, patrol sergeant, investigator, and acting chief. She has held previous roles as a Law Enforcement Subject Matter Expert at and as the Executive Director for the ; a shelter dedicated to providing services for victims of sex trafficking, sexual violence, and domestic violence. Nicole is currently working on her doctorate in clinical psychology. She holds two post-master's degrees; one in Human Factors Psychology and one in Trauma Counseling; an M.S. in Professional Counseling; and a B.S. in Public Safety Administration and Emergency Management. (Cite: ; 27 May 2025) Her academic pursuits complement her professional experience, allowing her to contribute to the development of evidence-based training programs that address the complexities of modern law enforcement encounters. Nicole's approach is grounded in scientific research, aiming to bridge the gap between theory and practice in policing. Nicole's commitment extends beyond training and education; she actively engages in initiatives that promote mental health and wellness within the law enforcement community. Her work includes teaching de-escalation techniques, crisis communication, and conducting critical incident debriefings that support officers' mental health and resilience. By fostering a culture of wellness, Nicole advocates for a paradigm shift in how law enforcement agencies approach officer well-being and community interactions. I hope this biographical information provides insight into why I regard Nicole as not only a top-tier professional and expert contributor to everything SASS represents, but also why I hold her in the highest regard both professionally and personally as a valued friend.

Episode 509 – It's a Sobriety Problem Today we have Nicole. She is 46 years old from Fairfax, VA. She took her last drink on May 18th, 2023. If you are seeking community on your alcohol-free journey, Café RE is just the place. We have been off Facebook for over a month, and we love our new home. In addition, we are also a non-profit. We would love to see you there! Restore – registration opens Monday December 2nd. This is Recovery Elevator's most intensive AF course for someone looking for extra accountability for Dry January. Sponsors for this episode: Better Help - code ELEVATOR for 10% off of your first month [03:32] Thoughts from Paul: Paul is always saving lines or notes that he would like to use in future podcasts. Today he reads a bunch of those that haven't quite found a home yet. This includes random stats, some of the consequences of drinking, how alcohol affects us, and that connection is an important component in our lives regardless of addiction status. [09:02] Paul introduces Nicole: Nicole lives in northern Virginia with her partner. They have three cats, one dog and three horses. Nicole and her partner both participate in dressage and eventing. She enjoys running marathons. Nicole says she did not start drinking when she was young. When she was in her late teens she started a 12 year long modeling career. Due to the weight restrictions around her modeling contract, she says she could not afford the calories from alcohol. Her drinking began when she was in grad school in her 30s. She began casually drinking with some friends and was always a little leery of alcohol with an unexplainable concern that she might develop a problem but ignored it. COVID definitely had an impact on her. Around that time, she was also going through a divorce and her father had developed some chronic health issues. Nicole feels she had control of her drinking for five to seven years and reflects that it's like you have control of it until you don't. She says she wasn't the type to drink to excess which allowed her to compare herself to others and believed she didn't have a problem. Ignoring the red flags in her drinking habits, it was when Nicole caught herself shaking while trying to sign in to a work conference that she realized she was having consequences. Because she minored in addiction studies, she feels that knowledge pushed her to observe herself and her drinking. Nicole decided to try to cut back on her drinking like she did with smoking. She was not able to successfully do it. She was beginning to realize she had to drink even when she didn't want to. Nicole started looking into outpatient rehab and no one would take her because she was having shakes. She reluctantly went to inpatient rehab with the plan of staying for one week. Nicole ended up doing the full 30 days after realizing she could not do this alone. She uses Vivitrol (Naltrexone) and is a proponent of medical treatment for addictions. Nicole didn't do AA having a hard time wrapping her ideas around it. She chose therapy and SMART recovery. Her background in science has helped her understand possible triggers. She finds having a plan very important to avoid boredom, which she learned is a trigger for her. Nicole feels that the intensity of the coping mechanism needs to match the intensity of the craving. Nicole's parting piece of guidance: you are not alone, be pro-choice in your recovery, try to trust yourself a little bit.

What "card" do you hide behind that has become such a part of your identity that you believe the world judges you for it?

This episode of Postpartum Production was recorded live at Blackbird Books Bookstore and Cafe in San Francisco, on a warm Spring day in the shop's back garden. This beautiful event was co-hosted by Recess Collective, a local San Francisco organization that builds inclusive community-centered spaces for families, particularly in the early years of parenting. A heartfelt thank you to both organizations for their efforts in uniting our community on that day, and every day.That day, Kaitlin joined author Nicole Haroutunian at Blackbird for a reading of her novel Choose This Now, published by Noemi Press this year, with conversation and questions from the audience about her process and inspiration for the book. In the audience were young children and parents wandering in and out; a mother nursing her child for most of the event sitting in the audience. We hope these kinds of readings and author events become more common ways that we can incorporate those whose schedules don't accommodate evening or late night events, but can fold into days when caregiving can, as we know, often feel like the only task.In addition to readings from Choose This Now, Kaitlin and Nicole discuss:How Nicole has chosen to navigate talking about experiences of early caregiving, friendship, and all the layers that she manages in the book, in a realistic wayThe experience of having given birth; what shifted in Nicoles life in terms of how she now creates literary worksHow Nicole relates to her work, and how that fed her characters experiences themselves as wellA special shout out to Artist Residency in Motherhood (ARiM), mentioned in this episode, and Cut + Paste, for bringing Kaitlin and Nicole- and so many other artist mothers- together. More on Nicole: Nicole is also the author of Speed Dreaming, which was published by Little A in 2015. Her work has appeared in the Georgia Review, Story, the Bennington Review, Joyland, Post Road, and Tin House's Open Bar, as well as many others. She lives with her family in Woodside, Queens in New York City.

Have you heard yourself say "I'm a people pleaser" or know people who are? It's time to stop. Relationships are about creating harmony and collaboration. People pleasers allow their own values and beleifs to get overlooked while attempting to make others happy.

When you say "I'm sorry" too much it robs you of your self-esteem and gives your unconscious mind the belief that you are often at fault. "I'm sorry" implies some form of transgression.

If so, it is empty anyway. In this episode learn how overusing that phrase affects your personal perception and those of others, and what you can do to change your language, and better connect with people, too.

Have you ever known someone who lashes out a lot, pushes buttons, is overly critical, and sometimes downright mean? If you do, there is a good change that those behaviors are a form of protection, rather than an indicator that they are not a good person at heart. It does mean you need to condone the behaviors, however. Unfortunately, the behaviors generally hurt the person who lashes out and the people closest to them, plus, it severs connection, leaving the person in the place they unconsciously fear most - alone.

It has been specifically designed as a sample roaster - in particular, it allows the same roast to be produced regardless of external conditions. This makes it perfect for communication between coffee growers, traders and roasters, and as a sample roaster for farm visits. The unit comes in a shockproof box and with accessories to determine the density of the beans. It also comes with an app that selects the appropriate settings for the machine based on the altitude, type and density of the beans. Thanks to its ease of use, the machine is also suitable for ambitious and quality-conscious home roasters.
