It was such an honor to have Kristen Ziman on the show. She is a sought after speaker, published author of Reimagining Blue and former Police Chief of Aurora Police Department in Auroral IL. Reimagining Blue is a passionate and personal analysis of a misunderstood profession from the vantage point of female police chief Kristen Ziman. Ziman credits her colorful childhood for the temperament that led her to gravitate toward policing, a profession where chaos is all in a day's work.

We cover a lot of topics in this episode. From Kristen's calling to police work, her rise in the ranks as a female officer, leadership, mental health with first responders and much more.
