In this episode of A Healthy Shift, I take you through my journeyâfrom being a 16-year-old Kiss fan camping outside Waverley Park to spending 40 years with Victoria Police. Along the way, I saw just how hard shift work can be on your body, mind, and relationships.
Thatâs exactly why I created A Healthy Shiftâto help shift workers like you take back control of your health, reduce fatigue, and thrive in demanding, unpredictable work environments.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
â
How my career in policing shaped my passion for shift worker wellbeing
â
Why women in shift work need more targeted supportâand how I help
â
The real reason so many organizations fail their shift workers
â
The origin of âD24â and the early days of police radio comms in Australia
â
Why crime prevention must focus on people, not just weapons
â
My take on modern parenting, discipline, and social accountability
â
What âVKCâ means and how police call signs are assigned
Iâve seen firsthand how shift work can impact your health, your family, and your future. This episode is packed with real talk, practical insights, and some behind-the-scenes stories you wonât hear anywhere else.
