Welcome to Outside the Line - the podcast for cops who are learning to stay anchored to the real world.

This week, Dina is joined by Dr. Medina Baumgart, an agency embedded psychologist, LEOW, author of "Surviving Retirement" and host of the "We Carry This" podcast.

Dr. Baumgart talks about her strategy of intentional loitering, what surprised her the most about police culture, and navigating her LEO husband's service retirement.

Welcome to Outside the Line - the podcast for cops who are learning to stay anchored to the real world.

The holidays can be heavy - especially for cops carrying the weight of grief beneath their uniform. In this solo episode, I talk about navigating grief during the holiday season while still showing up for the job, family, and everyone else who expects you to be "okay."

This episode explores:

• Why grief often intensifies during the holidays
• How law enforcement culture shapes the ways we grieve
• Why acknowledging grief is a sign of strength
• Grounded, realistic ways to support yourself through the season

If the holidays feel different this year, this is a remind that you're not broken, you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it all by yourself.

Listen in, take what you need, share with a friend, and remember - you're allowed to grieve and still be human.

Welcome to Outside The Line - a podcast dedicated to helping cops discover and develop an identity outside of the Thin Blue Line.

In this episode I'll introduce myself, talk about my identity outside the job, and my experience being in therapy as an active-duty cop.
