I made friends with Emily at our daughters soccer practices. We began conversation and when I asked what do you do for a living her response with a smile was,” I am a cop”. I knew that she had a good story and I was fascinated to find out. In this reading, we learned of the mental and physical toll it takes for Emily to be a policewoman. Transformation of her and others is always calling her name and everyday is a new day and situation for her. Her overactive fight or flight responses are always alert and ready to assess her current situations. Being a protector and mama bear is such a big and hefty job and I have much respect this woman. Learning how to calibrate her life starting with her environment, people in her life, and then time management is one of the things that is proves challenging amongst others. She is a powerful leader we should be so lucky to have her here working to protect all life.
