What happens when your career is suddenly taken from you? Do you have a plan? We tend to think as cops that working 20 to 30 years is a given and yet, how many officers do you know that have reached that goal? How many are actually happy and fulfilled people once they reach it? My guest today was faced with her law enforcement career ending due to injury and we discuss what she did with that opportunity and how she is helping others through that experience.

Jess Flores is the founder of Next Shift, LLC where she coaches officers who are leaving the life, have unexpectedly left the life, or are wanting to prepare to do so. We had an awesome discussion about her story and where she took her personal journey in order to help others like her.

I'm extremely supportive of what she is doing and hope that she can help out somebody listening. Connect with Jess here: https://linktr.ee/next_shift
