In this episode, I sit down with Jasmin Peach:

At the ripe age of 19 I joined the Police Academy. It had become a dream of mine to serve my state so you can only imagine the excitement when I found out that this dream was going to become a reality.

I completed my 12 months of training and graduated to the night club strip of South Australia. Oh man, did I have the time of my life! It was a dream come true. I had the blue family around me, I was fighting crime, stopping the bad guys.

I was the only female on my team, and golly gosh was it a good time. I was like the younger sister that they all protected. I was very lucky to have graduated to such an amazing team.

BUT that all changed in March of 2020... Our Organization decided that it was time for a state wide restructure, this meant that I was moved to a completely new team.

My Sergeant on this new team took an immediate liking to me, with close friends continually pointing out that I was the favorite. But what was I to do, he hadn't actually done anything... Yet.

Fast forward a few months and we had a work function. At this work function my supervisor continually pulled me in close to him, no matter how many times people pulled me away. There was no time where I didn't feel like I wasn't able to control the situation. Until he followed me into a room and pinned me down on the bed. Straddled over the top of me, I could not move.

After this incident I had 9 months of running away from myself, I turned to alcohol to self-medicate and used excessive exercise to feel physical pain so that I didn't have to deal with the mental pain that this incident had bought upon me. That upon other dysfunctional coping mechanisms made me become a person that I did not even recognize anymore.

One day at work I broke down, this is when I realized that I had become someone that I did not want to be. It was at this point that I finally got some help.

My journey led me to completing multiple mindset courses, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy course, becoming an NLP practitioner & coach to First Responders.

I will speak about my experience with hierarchy, mental health, dysfunctional coping mechanisms, dealing with Organizational disappointment & eventually leaving the job that I thought would be my forever.

My goal in life is to help people who are in a position that I was once in. I want to be the person that I needed.
