Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The LEO First Podcast, we welcome La'Jerrick Taylor, a veteran of the federal prison system with 12 years of service. Starting as a correctional officer, La'Jerrick later became a Sports Specialist while pursuing a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. With a remarkable 7-0 amateur MMA record, La'Jerrick's journey is a testament to resilience and strength. He opens up about his personal experiences, including childhood trauma (ACEs), the suicide of his brother, and how his marriage and family life anchor him. His wife, who works in mental health, is a vital support in his journey. La'Jerrick also runs a no-holds-barred blog that's "not for kids" and reflects on balancing fatherhood and fighting. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about navigating trauma, purpose, and self-growth. #MentalHealthAwareness #LEOFirstPodcast #MMALife #FamilyFirst #Resilience #MarriageAndFamilyTherapy #OvercomingTrauma #FighterSpirit
