This week, we sit down with Kody Aldrich, a licensed professional counselor with a background in law enforcement and a friend of Brandee’s family. We dive into the unique challenges of balancing empathy and emotional strength in such demanding roles, and how Kody has learned to carry compassion in his work while protecting his own mental health at home. He also shares valuable insight into something called the 5 H’s of Mental Health, a framework that can help all of us better understand and care for our emotional well-being. This conversation is raw, insightful, and full of wisdom from someone who’s seen both sides of the struggle...the personal and the professional. It’s one you won’t want to miss
