Matt volunteers as a chaplain and peer support for police agencies in Los Angeles. He also is a volunteer for nonprofits that support police officers in crisis, as well as those that are injured and disabled. Matt believes all first responders can have careers that provide deeper meaning and add richness to their spiritual lives if approached in the right manner. Matt is a medically retired police officer that worked patrol, Peer Support, SWAT, and as a full-time police academy instructor. Matt was the Wellness Coordinator for his agency integrating sports nutrition, strength, and conditioning, stress management, combatives-and-scenario training regarding officers as tactical athletes. He also was concurrently a collegiate strength coach at Yale and Georgetown Universities while a full-time police officer. Later he was a strength coach and mental skills trainer for NFL combine athletes. At Yale, he volunteered for Athletes in Action and at Georgetown, he created an ecumenical ministry Hoyas for Christ. Matt also has been a volunteer with Hockey Ministries International summer camps. Matt played linebacker and was a competitive powerlifter for the Air Force Academy and Colgate University. He has an MS in Forensic Science under Dr. Henry Lee, an MS in Sport Psychology under Dr. Ken Ravizza, a MA in Pastoral Theology with a concentration in Spiritual Direction from Loyola Marymount University, and an additional spiritual direction certificate from Stillpoint. Matt focused his studies and additional immersion experiences in the contemplative traditions as well as masculine spirituality and psychology. Matt's niche is spending time in the trenches with first responders and veterans establishing trust and rapport. He does weekly ride alongs and station visits, observes and participates in any training that he is invited to, and goes shooting with veterans transitioning out of the military. His approach is not the traditional reacting to crisis or responding to requests, rather he pro-activity spends time with those he cares about while they are on the job. Matt's priority is encouraging better overall wellness, life balance, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual self-care BEFORE officers or firefighters experience a breakdown or a crisis. However, Matt is also well versed in response to critical incidents as well as spending time with first responders at treatment facilities for PTSD and substance abuse issues. His ministry vision post covid lockdown is to continue to spend time in the trenches with officers, provide confidential peer support and spiritual direction, and facilitate a contemplative prayer group with “way of council” sharing for first responders and veterans in Los Angeles. Matt also plans to offer free wellness events integrating various aspects of fitness and martial arts, mindfulness and yoga, small group sharing, and fellowship with ribeyes on the grill. In a variety of ways, he hopes to provide platforms where first responders learn to use their unique career experiences as a spiritual path, rather than it leading to breakdown which unfortunately happens too often in these professions.

It is incredible to realize there are over 40,000 veteran focused non-profits. The heartbreaking part is the majority of them have a lifespan of 1 year! So many people have altruistic intentions, only to find themselves overwhelmed with the business side needed to keep the nonprofit running. Donna and Jay bring in guest host Michelle Lang - veteran spouse, mom, and founder of the nonprofit, Veteran Help Point. They discuss why Veteran Help Point was launched, what it took to start it, and tips to think about before starting a nonprofit. Michelle Lang has been a military spouse for about 6 years. She graduated college with a bachelor's degree in Business/Sports Management and went on to work in the wellness field as a Community Health and Wellness Coordinator. Here, she helped assess the needs of the community and fill them by finding programs to implement. She left that job in 2015 to join her now husband in Fort Drum and began struggling to find meaningful work again.  Shortly after her husband transitioned from the military in 2019, they were made aware of the severe gap of finding local veteran resources to help her husband and family. Through this struggle, Michelle began to think about a big picture solution to this issue. Their family moved down to Fort Bragg after her husband rejoined Active Duty and that is where Veteran Help Point began in November 2021.  Today Michelle advocates for military spouses and veterans by connecting them to local resources they need while building the database of local resources through Veteran Help Point.  Contact Information Website: www.veteranhelppoint.com Facebook- Veteran Help Point Instagram- @veteranhelppoint Twitter- @vethelppoint TikTok- @veteranhelppoint Pinterest- Veteran Help Point Donna's Links Website: www.rebel-llc.com Book: Warrior to Patriot Citizen (2017) Blog: Taking Off The Armor IG: @thetransitioningwarrior Twitter: @wtpc FB: The Transitioning Warrior Jay's Links Website: https://j2servantleadership.com/  Book: Breaking Average (2020) Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at Coming Home Well N Tune into our CHW Streaming Radio and the full lineup at cominghomewell.com Download on Apple Play and Google Play Online-Therapy.com ~ Life Changing Therapy Click here for a 20% discount on your first month.

It is incredible to realize there are over 40,000 veteran focused non-profits.  The heartbreaking part is the majority of them have a lifespan of 1 year! So many people have altruistic intentions, only to find themselves overwhelmed with the business side needed to keep the nonprofit running.Donna and Jay bring in guest host Michelle Lang - veteran spouse, mom, and founder of the nonprofit, Veteran Help Point. They discuss why Veteran Help Point was launched, what it took to start it, and tips to think about before starting a nonprofit.Michelle Lang has been a military spouse for about 6 years. She graduated college with a bachelor's degree in Business/Sports Management and went on to work in the wellness field as a Community Health and Wellness Coordinator. Here, she helped assess the needs of the community and fill them by finding programs to implement. She left that job in 2015 to join her now husband in Fort Drum and began struggling to find meaningful work again. Shortly after her husband transitioned from the military in 2019, they were made aware of the severe gap of finding local veteran resources to help her husband and family. Through this struggle, Michelle began to think about a big picture solution to this issue. Their family moved down to Fort Bragg after her husband rejoined Active Duty and that is where Veteran Help Point began in November 2021. Today Michelle advocates for military spouses and veterans by connecting them to local resources they need while building the database of local resources through Veteran Help Point. Contact InformationWebsite: www.veteranhelppoint.comFacebook- Veteran Help PointInstagram- @veteranhelppointTwitter- @vethelppointTikTok- @veteranhelppointPinterest- Veteran Help PointDonna's LinksWebsite: www.rebel-llc.comBook: Warrior to Patriot Citizen (2017)Blog: Taking Off The ArmorIG: @thetransitioningwarriorTwitter: @wtpcFB: The Transitioning WarriorJay's LinksWebsite: https://j2servantleadership.com/ Book: Breaking Average (2020)Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at Coming Home Well NewsletterFollow us on IG @cominghomwell_bts and @behindtheservicepodcastFacebook at Coming Home Well or Behind The ServiceLinkedIn at Coming Home Well

Natasha Nikkel is Wellness Coordinator with Hearthstone, a Ministry of Wesleylife. She discusses Parkinson’s Awareness Month and the resources they have to help those in the community with the disease.

Podcast Intro: Wendy Hummell has been in Law Enforcement for 25 years, investigating homicide, gang, and sex crimes.  Alongside that career, she has also become a yoga teacher and has focused on stress management and defense tactics within teams.  While she has retired from investigating, her desire to continually serve has amplified and she's currently a Wellness Coordinator for first responders.  I'm sure we can all agree that Wendy's work and service is so needed, and that is one of the many reasons she is the Coach of the Month! Listen in on this interview as Anna discovers why the YHC business model was the perfect natural progression for Wendy to provide even deeper service to her community.  Through this model, Wendy is discovering how to fill gaps that a criminal justice career doesn't currently train for, and is offering ways for more peace and health to first responders experiencing trauma involved in the job.  We are so thrilled that Wendy is bringing this model to her community and can't wait to see what opportunities this path brings her and them! What you'll get out of tuning in: How to create a unique program from your expertise. Why building community is so important today. How to navigate the next steps in your journey.

Wendy talks about incorporating a wellness retreat into her program. Wendy bridges the gaps between opposites on her podcast Timestamps: [2:30] - The natural progression of serving.  [3:25] - The missing pieces in law enforcement training. [6:63] - Dysrhythm of first responders. [8:35] - The dream opportunities in the community.  [12:00] - Building a unique business model. [17:25] - The return on investment. [21:49] - Connection and dynamic groups lacking in people's lives. [23:23] - Leveraging structure and systems into future vision. [25:55] - Navigating and connecting two worlds. [29:36] - Using science, evidence, and language to bridge gaps.  [31:20] - Words of advice. Quotes: “How is this any different than teaching something you believe in? It's a service.” “That connection piece is what really seems to make the magic happen.” “There are all of these different things that have just kind of naturally come together, and so all of those things are what I am looking for in the future.” “I've been told I'm the most woo-woo cop somebody ever knew, and I'm okay with that.” “The benefits I have gotten personally have far outweighed any kind of money that I've spent.” Guest Bio: Wendy Hummell Wendy Hummell is a retired police detective with over 25 years of law enforcement experience.

Wendy speaks to these topics from the perspective of direct experience and through the lens of a law enforcement spouse. Wendy's belief is that all law enforcement agencies should provide resources to their employees so they can not only survive a career in law enforcement but thrive well into retirement.

In today's episode I speak with Matt Domyancic. Matt volunteers as a chaplain and peer support for police agencies in Los Angeles. He also is a volunteer for nonprofits that support police officers in crisis, as well as those that are injured and disabled. Matt believes all first responders can have careers that provide deeper meaning and add richness to their spiritual lives if approached in the right manner. Matt is a medically retired police officer that worked patrol, Peer Support, SWAT, and as a full-time police academy instructor. Matt was the Wellness Coordinator for his agency integrating sports nutrition, strength, and conditioning, stress management, combatives-and-scenario training regarding officers as tactical athletes. He also was concurrently a collegiate strength coach at Yale and Georgetown Universities while a full-time police officer. Later he was a strength coach and mental skills trainer for NFL combine athletes. At Yale, he volunteered for Athletes in Action and at Georgetown, he created an ecumenical ministry Hoyas for Christ. Matt also has been a volunteer with Hockey Ministries International summer camps.  Matt's niche is spending time in the trenches with first responders and veterans establishing trust and rapport. He does weekly ride alongs and station visits, observes and participates in any training that he is invited to, and goes shooting with veterans transitioning out of the military. His approach is not the traditional reacting to crisis or responding to requests, rather he pro-activity spends time with those he cares about while they are on the job. Matt's priority is encouraging better overall wellness, life balance, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual self-care BEFORE officers or firefighters experience a breakdown or a crisis. However, Matt is also well versed in response to critical incidents as well as spending time with first responders at treatment facilities for PTSD and substance abuse issues.
