Sunday Reset with AK Dozanti - Navigating Burnout

Meet AK Dozanti.
She's a former Deputy Sheriff turned First Responder Wellness Coach & Specialist. In 2015 the affects of life and law enforcement caught up with her, she burned out just months after being named Officer of the Year. There’s a lot more to the story but she is honored to say that she helps first responders prevent burnout in their own lives so that they can free themselves from their mental battle.
In this world of go, go, go we are beginning a new series called "Sunday Reset" here at Law Enforcement Today. A lot of people spend the day before out week meal prepping, cleaning, and generally getting themselves ready for the week ahead, and we've invited AK to come on and begin helping our viewers mentally and emotionally reset for the week ahead as well.
If you'd like to learn more about AK or you'd like to contact her regarding one on one coaching for your mental well being, please visit her website at www.akdozanti.com

Burnout among first responders is a constant threat I suffered from burnout years ago when I did fire and EMS . I think that were all guilty of it at some point in time because we want to push ourselves for that next run no matter what it might be . Now today I've since moved do a different career path same line of work doing first responder stuff however I still miss working in the house . And I don't think I ever will not I mean it was a big part of my life for a long time . Like so many others that follow this channel we all have some demon that we struggle with . Take care of yourself because nobody else will take care of you until it's too late take that break take that vacation spend the time with the family and kids use your Kelly day use your vacation do whatever you got to do to take a breath take a step back

Burnout eventually catches up with everyone in high-stress level jobs. There is no leaving it behind when you go home or on vacation even though you might tell yourself you are leaving it at work when you go home.
