131: Handling the Ups and Downs of Policework: Detective Tessa Melville Returns

2024-09-12

If you didn't catch Ep. 98- download, listen, and promptly return to this one. In that, I chat with my coworker, Detective Tessa Melville; we discuss her background, her growth through military service and lessons learned and resilience tested and solidified in her patrol work for years- and her recent entry into detective work with the Special Assault Unit.

We hinted at a part two, and much of that was in planning. One of the things I appreciate most about Tessa is her openness in a matter of fact way- how she is emotionally and self-aware and is willing to share that with others as we all can learn for our own emotional survival and continual efforts to support our wellness.
Where in part 1, we talk about a lot of the significant events that tested and shaped Tessa's resolve, in this episode we converse about some of the dynamics we continue to work through and balance- at different stages in our careers and different roles. Tessa flips the script- so to speak- and picks my brain on my reflections on perceptions, work culture, and wellness.
