This week I sit down with a friend, Pat Fitzgibbons. Pat is a retired Leo, Army veteran, author, podcast host, and national liaison for The FHE Shatterproof first responder only treatment program conducted out of Deerfield Beach Fl. Pat and I had the conversation that most of you won't. My buddy killed himself Tuesday, August 15th,  after a series of really tough life events. It was years in the making and myself along with an entire cast of friends and buddies, some much closer to him than I, did our best to keep him here one more day. With every phone call, we as a group, were able to reframe the situation with him and provide a path forward. I thought, like most of us, that the worst was behind us, a son in college, the hope of a new relationship around the corner, we collectively believed he had the tools needed to keep fighting. We were wrong. How we live our life matters, the decisions we make, both the good and the bad have a ripple effect that is far reaching. Start making better life decisions, and know that you are loved, until next week, take care of yourself and each other. God Bless, and RIP TC.Patrick created a top ranked podcast called The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast

Join Goldyn & Patrick in this leading edge discussion of how to master your own life and reclaim your power after going through tough times.  Patrick is a retired Law Enforcement Officer and now works in the field of mental health with first responders at FHE Health in their Shatterproof program for First Responders.  After retiring from Law, losing a loved one and going through a dark time,  Patrick shares the immense benefit to reaching out and how being vulnerable in our journey led him to living a much more joyful and peaceful life.  Patrick shares that reaching out to others that have found success and surrounding yourself with those of a higher vibration is the a great way to overcome challenge and remind you of who you truly are.  Clearing your life, or at least limiting the time you spend with those who are in misery and not ready to evolve is another great tip for successful living. They both share techniques they use to persevere through the toughest times in life and how to clear your life path of the things that are either holding you back or may be keeping you in a low vibrational energy that does not lead to manifesting. While the energetic needs time to break down and become matter,  many will get discouraged, lose faith and give up on what they desire.    It takes an allowing, inviting and believing to place yourself in the greatest receiving mode in life. You will want to listen to this whole show for the wisdom these two impart in a conversation between colleagues, friends, and mentors in a world that needs more hope, inspiration and success stories to tune into.  You can find Patrick and his Criminal Evolution work/podcast at www.cjevolution.com.  Goldyn is super excited to share in the wisdom of others and what has allowed them to become more on this fantastic road called life.

When he is not hosting the top ranked Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast, he is working with first responders. A few months ago, I received a call from Patrick and he indicated that he was struggling with "life situations." Patrick shared with me that his life had become unmanageable and he began to contemplated suicide. He was struggling with PTS, with the onset of an addiction to alcohol and with real sadness. Patrick did what most of us are scared to do. He reached out and became vulnerable. He realized he needed help and he made the call. Within two days, Patrick was exactly where he needed to be. Patrick is open and honest about his journey to "Shatterproof" and his journey to mental wellness. Please share this podcast with those you love. At one time or another, we all struggle with life. This episode is proof that we can overcome difficult moments and live to rise above them. Patrick is right where he needs to be.
