Police burnout doesn't have to define you — discover how men's work is helping officers rebuild from the inside out. If you've been feeling disconnected or exhausted by the job, this episode offers a fresh path to resilience, purpose, and brotherhood. Episode Summary In this episode, Cyndi sits down again with Garrett Law, host of The Squad Room Podcast and a 20-year law enforcement veteran, to talk about men's work—what it really means and why it matters for first responders. Garrett shares his journey from burnout and guardedness to rediscovering purpose and connection through retreats designed specifically for first responders and veterans. Together, they explore how male officers can safely step away from the chaos, reconnect with who they are outside the badge, and build authentic community with other men doing the same work. The conversation highlights how these experiences can transform not only personal wellness but also relationships and leadership back home. Hosted by Cyndi Doyle, licensed professional counselor supervisor, retired police spouse, and author of Hold the Line, the Code4Couples® Podcast brings real conversations that help law enforcement officers and their spouses build stronger, healthier relationships. 📘 Grab your copy of Hold the Line: The Essential Guide to Protecting Your Law Enforcement Relationship → 👉 https://www.amazon.com/Hold-Line-Protecting-Enforcement-Relationship-ebook/dp/B08TPRTY9G#customerReviews 🎤 Book Cyndi for speaking or training events → 👉 https://code4couples.com/training/ 00:00 – Welcome & introduction with Garrett Law 02:00 – What "men's work" really means 05:00 – Why burnout and isolation hit law enforcement men hard 09:30 – The power of retreats and connection 13:00 – Overcoming guardedness and rediscovering purpose 19:00 – The crisis of disconnection among men 25:00 – How to know if this work is for you 30:00 – Upcoming retreat details and impact 33:00 – Closing thoughts & resources
