Operation Frontline Families supports not only veteran and military family members but first responder families as well! With the events in our hometown of Kansas City last week, this week's episode is more than timely. Can you imagine watching the Super Bowl parade on TV knowing your loved one is working and running towards the danger? Can you imagine being at the parade, knowing your family is there but having to do your job all while wondering if they are alright? Our first responder family members deserve our communities support. They hold the fort down at home with little support.

Do you Fake the Funk? Do you tell people you are "fine" when in reality you are anything but? Join us this week as Shawn and Natasha pick apart the "I'm fine" narrative. Your mental health matters! If you are a provider, tune in to learn how you can best support the caregiver.

The caregiving journey can be long and wrought with ups, downs, and crises. We oftentimes do not get a break so we look to things that we can numb that pain away. Whether it is shopping, using substances, watching too much TV, or other ways - it isn't the answer. Join our special guest, Kelly Rai, who many of you know is an instrumental person in what we do at Operation Frontline Families.

In this week's episode we talk about how to set your self up for success when caregiving ends. We oftentimes don't want to think about losing a loved one but it is inevitable. Ask yourself this question; If caregiving ends tomorrow, will you be ok?
