He’s not just a retired Norfolk Police Sergeant with 24 years in gangs, homicide, and the psychological meat grinder of frontline duty. He’s a walking masterclass in what happens when you stop chasing survival and start chasing impact.

Rich Creamer joins Erin for a raw, real talk about thinking traps, peer accountability, and how the new “low” isn’t sleeping in your truck. It’s catching your spiral early and making the damn call. From confronting old identities to dismantling stale protocols, Rich is leading from the scar, not the script.

You’ll hear:

• How catastrophizing and mind-reading show up before your shift even starts
• Why Rich refuses to build cookie-cutter wellness programs
• What it means to truly “see people where they are” without enabling the status quo
• A one-question mindset reframe that just might change your day

This episode isn’t a war story. It’s a blueprint for post-traumatic growth with your boots still on.

THIS EPISODE IS FOR:

• Cops who’ve done the job too long to admit it’s eating them
• Spouses watching their person drift further away every day
• Leaders who know they’re leading from burnout, not clarity
• Anyone who’s carrying shame for the fallout and thinking it’s too late to rebuild
