My top-5 transformative podcasts
By Rev. Tammy Roach
In a world saturated with content, there are a few wellness podcasts that rise above the noise, offering not just entertainment but solid information and science-backed practices that lead to genuine transformation.
For those seeking to grow their mindset, optimize physical health, and live with purpose, five podcasts consistently deliver: The Mindset Mentor, Huberman Lab, Dr. Axe Show, First Responder Wellness, and The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka. Each offers a unique lens into personal growth, neuroscience, wellness, purpose, and peak functioning—making them essential listening for any first responder on a journey of health and wellness.
The Mindset Mentor
Hosted by Rob Dial, The Mindset Mentor is a motivational powerhouse. With over 3 million followers, Dial has built a community around the belief that mindset is everything. His episodes blend psychology, neuroscience, and practical coaching to help listeners overcome limiting beliefs, manage anxiety, build discipline, and take control of their lives.
What sets this podcast apart is its accessibility; each episode is only 20 minutes. Whether you’re a seasoned wellness practitioner or someone just starting to explore personal development, Dial’s clear, actionable advice resonates. Check out the January 3, 2025 (Episode 1,591), “9 Crazy Psychological Hacks” for some great tips on inducing sleep naturally, calming anxiety, and regaining focus.
Huberman Lab
Dr. Andrew Huberman, a Stanford neuroscientist, combines academic rigor with easy-to-understand wellness tools in Huberman Lab. Each episode dives deep into the science of the brain and body, covering topics like sleep, focus, stress, and neuroplasticity. Huberman’s ability to translate cutting-edge research into practical steps is what makes his show one of my top five.
His collaborations with other experts, like Dr. Josh Axe, highlight the intersection of emotional health, purpose, and physical wellbeing. Huberman doesn’t just inform; he equips listeners with wellness skills they can implement immediately. He is known widely for his NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) protocol that allows you to “control the relaxation state of your nervous system.” You can do this guided meditation by searching YouTube.
The Dr. Axe Show
Dr. Josh Axe blends holistic health with modern science in The Dr. Axe Show. Known for his expertise in functional medicine,
nutrition, and natural remedies, Axe explores how food, lifestyle, and mindset can be powerful tools for healing. His episodes often feature guest experts and dive into topics like gut health, inflammation, and the mind-body connection.
What makes this podcast valuable is his integrative approach. Axe doesn’t shy away from discussing spiritual wellness alongside physical health, creating a holistic approach for thriving in your stress-filled environments.
The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Gary Brecka, a human biologist and longevity expert, hosts The Ultimate Human, a podcast that explores how to unlock peak performance through biology. Brecka’s background in mortality science gives him a unique perspective on what it takes to live longer, stronger, and more energetic.
By diving into the science of vitality with clarity and passion, Brecka aims to help people become the ultimate version of themselves by understanding their biology and making datadriven lifestyle changes. While some of his suggestions are controversial, the information he provides, the guests he hosts, and the strategies he employs offer valuable insight into the science behind how your body works, and steps you can take for optimal functioning.
First Responder Wellness Podcast
The First Responder Wellness Podcast with Conrad Weaver addresses the unique physical and emotional challenges that first responders face regularly; it is a lifeline for those who serve. This podcast addresses the mental health, resilience, and recovery needs of firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other emergency personnel. It offers real talk on trauma, burnout, and the importance of peer support.
By creating a safe space for open dialogue, the podcast helps break the stigma around mental health in high-stress professions. It’s a vital resource not just for first responders, but for anyone interested in resilience and emotional strength.
These five podcasts are more than just audio content—they’re catalysts for transformation. Whether you’re aiming to rewire your brain, decode your biology for physical health, or build resilience, each show offers a path to becoming your best self— one episode at a time.

MAP
can’t help if you don’t make the call!
In the current climate of law enforcement, our members face increasing challenges both on- and off-duty. From dealing with high-pressure incidents to navigating complex legal situations, the need for professional legal representation and support has never been greater. Every MAP member must understand one crucial truth—MAP can only help if you contact us.
MAP chapters have their own leadership structure tailored to the size, needs, and organization of their local members. Some chapters operate formally with positions such as President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, while others maintain a more informal structure led by a union steward or representative. Regardless of the setup, these leaders serve a vital role. They review grievances, oversee contract negotiations, and manage many workplace-related concerns that arise. Their ultimate mission is to protect the interests and rights of MAP members in their local chapters.
However, no matter how dedicated your local leadership is, they cannot be everywhere. They may be off-duty, unavailable, or occupied with personal obligations when something urgent occurs. That is why it is critical for every MAP member to know what to do when an emergency happens, to make the call to the MAP emergency number immediately.
Since the mid-1980s, MAP has operated a dedicated 24/7 emergency hotline: 630-905-0663. This number exists for one purpose: to ensure that every member has immediate access to qualified legal assistance during high-stakes situations. Critical incidents can happen without warning. These include officer-involved shootings, deaths in custody, fatal vehicle pursuits, and other serious on-duty events that could lead to internal or criminal investigations.
In moments like these, time is of the essence. Quick action ensures that MAP’s legal experts can step in to safeguard your rights, guide you through the legal
process, and ensure that every procedural protection is followed correctly. Delaying the call even by a few hours can make a dramatic difference in how effectively your situation is resolved.
One of the most important things to remember is that any member can call the MAP emergency number. It doesn’t have to come from the local president, union steward, or any other leadership figure. If you witness or are involved in a critical incident, make the call yourself. In fact, MAP encourages multiple members to report the same event; it is far better to receive several notifications than none at all.
When an incident occurs, confusion and chaos often follow. In those moments, it is easy for people to assume someone else has already called. Don’t make that assumption. Your call could be the one that ensures prompt legal protection for you or your fellow members.
Generally, MAP chapters work closely with their assigned attorneys; it is important to remember that those attorneys may not always be available, especially after hours. By calling MAP’s emergency number (630-905-0663), you are immediately connected with MAP attorneys who are specifically trained in critical incident response. These professionals have experience dealing with high-stress law enforcement situations and understand the importance of protecting your legal rights from the very beginning.
MAP attorneys are also familiar with the specific contractual protections negotiated into most MAP agreements. These contracts include detailed language designed to safeguard officers during critical incidents, ensuring fair treatment and legal compliance at every step. MAP’s legal team knows this language inside and out and will enforce it fully to put you in the best position possible moving forward.
Simply put, MAP’s legal assistance gives you a distinct advantage you will be represented by experts who
KEITH R. GEORGE
specialize in law enforcement cases, know union procedures, and are available around the clock.
Following a critical incident, emotions run high, and decisions made in those early moments can have lasting consequences. Having a qualified MAP attorney by your side from the beginning can make all the difference. They will:
• Ensure your rights are protected before, during, and after interviews or statements.
• Provide clear legal guidance so you do not say or do anything that could be misinterpreted.
• Serve as your advocate when dealing with internal investigations or external agencies.
• Help maintain compliance with your union contract and department policy.
• Offer peace of mind when you need it most.
Remember, your legal protection is only as strong as your willingness to use it. The system works best when you take that first step and make the call.
At its core, MAP is more than just a union; it is a professional organization built on trust, solidarity, and shared purpose. Every officer deserves to go home safely at the end of their shift, but when incidents arise, every officer also deserves fair representation and legal protection. MAP exists to ensure that no member faces those challenges alone.
When you call 630-905-0663, you are not just dialing a phone number, you are connecting to a network of experienced professionals dedicated to protecting your rights and future. If you do not call, MAP cannot help. It is as simple as that. Whether you are certain that legal assistance is needed or are just unsure, don’t hesitate to make the call. The emergency line is open 24/7, and help is always available.
MAP Emergency Number: 630-905-0663
Save it on your phone. Share it with your fellow members. Post it at your station. And most importantly, use it when it matters most. Remember MAP is here for you, but only if you reach out.
Be Safe!
A Career Built on Commitment
Felten finds her place as executive assistant at MAP
By Chris Walker
Lyndsay Felten is less than a year into her role as an executive assistant at MAP, but she is far from inexperienced, having worked similar jobs as well as with some of the organization’s attorneys who continue to defend the rights of law enforcement and public sector workers.
Felten’s latest venture with MAP began in March. “I was familiar with MAP because I’ve worked with (attorneys) Mark McQueary and Ray Garza at the firm they had before they went in-house to MAP,” she said. “So I worked with MAP previously with my work with the firm that doesn’t exist now. I was happy to go to MAP because I knew everybody and was familiar with that.”
In a legal assistant role at Karlson Garza McQueary LLC, Felten continued to move forward on a career path that started more than a dozen years ago when she worked as a legal assistant for Anselmo Lindberg Oliver LLC in 2013.
Previous stints as a legal assistant at Masuda Funai and Reimer & Dobrovolny and as a real estate paralegal at Ottosen DiNolfo Hasenbalg & Castaldo Ltd. helped further develop her transferable skills.
“I do the payroll and accounts receivable and payable for the union and also do any type of legal administrative work that the attorneys need,” Felten said. “I’ve worked in law offices for probably over 15 years, so I’ve done real estate law, immigration law, but once I stumbled into the pension and labor law side, I’ve stayed there. I like working on the employee side. I’ve got a degree in social work. I’ve always been community-minded and a big believer in unions making sure people are taking care of.”
It hasn’t taken long for Felten to feel at home at MAP. “I love it,” she said. “I knew what I was getting into. It’s new because I’d never done the payroll, office manager stuff so that has all been new. It’s a great organization. They do a lot of good work for their members.”
Felten is pleased to be part of the team and is committed to doing her part to provide MAP’s members with excellent service while helping maintain the organization’s standing as one of Illinois’ premier labor unions.
“I’m very funny and they appreciate my directness,” she said. “They’ll always know how I’m feeling. I’m not very good at hiding how I’m feeling so they’ll know. They’ll pretty much get a laugh if they come by the office. Sometimes it’s at their expense, but that’s just the chance they take.”
An avid reader, Felten doesn’t go anywhere without a book. And as a diehard fan of the band Old Dominion, she’ll probably go anywhere to see them.
“I love live music and planning travel around concerts, especially my fave band, Old Dominion,” she said. “I’ve seen them in five different states. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I’m hooked on Bravo reality shows and a huge fan of stand-up comedy.”

Is your estate plan valid if you move?
If you move your legal residence, do you need to update your estate plan? Americans move an average of 12 times in their lifetimes, and as often as once every five years. Does your estate plan move with you? As with all legal issues, the answer to that question is unnecessarily complicated. However, the solution can be simple if you know what to do. Let’s unpack that solution.
Will Estate Plans for Illinois Residents
A valid Illinois Last Will and Testament requires the following: the person signing is 18 years or older and of “sound mind and memory.” Additionally, two or more credible witnesses sign the document. The witnesses should not be beneficiaries or family members. It is a requirement to file the Will in the Circuit Court Clerk within 30 days of the decedent’s death.
In Illinois, a Will does not require a notary. However, Illinois and several other states allow the admission of a notarized Will to Probate without witness testimony. Therefore, all my clients’ Wills are notarized—more on that out-of-state requirement below.
Living Trust Estate Plans for Illinois Residents
Since a Will is subject to the Probate Court, it is not your ideal estate plan. Rather, you should have a Living Trust as your primary estate plan. In Illinois, surprisingly, a Living Trust does not need to be witnessed or notarized to be valid. However, it is not a wise practice. The Illinois Trust Code requires that the Trust creator intend to create a Trust, have legal capacity, and name a beneficiary who is not the creator.
Regardless of the legal requirements for creation and signing, you will fund your Trust using financial institution accounts that meet their Trust requirements. A notary is almost always one of them. Additionally, other states require witnesses and a notary for a Living Trust. Therefore, all my clients are provided with a notary and two independent witnesses.
Moving With Your Estate Plan
Now that we understand how to validly create and sign a Living Trust or a Will in Illinois, what happens when you move? If your new residence is in Illinois, your validly signed estate plan is still valid regardless of the new county. If the estate plan is a Will, it is filed at your death with the court in the county of your residence at the time of your death.
When moving to another state other than Illinois, the general rule is that a Living Trust is valid in your new state if its creation complies with the jurisdiction’s laws where the Trust was executed. The same holds if you move to Illinois from another state.
You should not, however, rely on “general rules.” There is every reason to do more than the minimum regarding your estate plan. You will deal with new financial institutions, notaries, and witness requirements in your new state. Additionally, the laws may differ regarding where and how you sign your estate plan documents and the consequences of a new marital status.
Consequently, your estate plan should always be carefully drafted by your Illinois lawyer, have two witnesses and a notary, and be reviewed by an attorney in your new state. Your previous estate plan is valid if properly drafted, executed, and reviewed.
Your Living Trust Police Discount
I offer a 1/3 reduction of my fees to all police officers and staff, MAP members, and their family members.
At the end of your life or incapacitation, they risk Probate if you have property, investments, or bank accounts in your name.
• A Will = Probate. The rule is that no one can legally sign your name. Therefore, all assets in your name are subject to the Probate process, which averages 18 months and is costly.
• A Living Trust avoids Probate.
• Your financial accounts, life insurance policies, and deferred compensation accounts can name your Living Trust as beneficiary, subject to essential tax considerations.
• A Living Trust estate plan includes Health Care and Financial Power of Attorney documents. It also consists of a Last Will and Testament.
• A Will is necessary for guardianship of minor children. It also transfers assets in your name out of Probate.
• A Living Trust contains a No Contest provision and beneficiary Asset Protection clauses.
• Your estate plan comes with free lifetime access to your client portal and digital storage of all essential documents, accessible with your chosen password..
Call my office today to lock in your MAP 1/3 reduced rate for a complete Living Trust Estate Plan.

Where Music Meets the Badge Inside the Emerald Society
By Chris Walker
For 15 years, Bolingbrook Police Lt. and MAP Chapter 4 member Tom Gallas has performed with the Bagpipes & Drum of the Emerald Society. He’s had such a meaningful experience that his only regret is not picking up the bagpipes sooner. Today, he serves as one of the band’s six pipe sergeants and is second in command.
“I started when I was 30 and I was on the job before that, but I just wished I joined earlier,” he said. “It’s one of the most incredibly rewarding things to do and the people I’ve met in the pipe band are great. They’re infectious people in a good way. I can’t speak enough about the whole crew.”
His connection to the band stretches back to his teenage years. When his grandfather, James McMahon — a Chicago police officer for 34 years — died in 1993, the presence of bagpipers made a lasting impression.
“I remember the bagpipers playing at his funeral and their kilts as clear as day,” he said. “One day I talked to my wife and said I wanted to join and that was it.”
For 43 years, the band has played at funerals for police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. It also shares the heritage of Scottish music at events throughout the year. Movie fans may have seen the group in films such as The Fugitive and Backdraft.
Under the direction of Pipe Major Jonathon Harmening, the band aims to evoke strong emotions, whether at a line-ofduty funeral, Steve McMichael’s Pro Football Hall of Fame induction, or a South Side institution like McNally’s.
“It’s good ones, laughing and yukking it up, keeping it as lively and fun as humanly possible,” Gallas said. “And it’s bad ones, a lot of crying when we’re at funerals. And we’re trying to do something to make a lasting impact on a family that’s got the worst thing happening. It’s heavy. We do a dangerous job and when it happens, we step up.”
This summer, Gallas served as the lone midnight piper in Washington, D.C., when the band was the host bagpipe band during National Police Week.
“You don’t stop playing until you’re around the block, and you see so many people because there are a lot of names on the wall,” he said. “The partner for the guy, the widow, the parents and grandparents, the friends. So, when you’re walking by these people, some can be sobbing and crying, but the ones next to those crying could be toasting a guy. It can be very heavy, but I was very fortunate to be able to do it this year.”
The origins of the band trace to February 1982, after patrolmen William P. Fahey and Richard J. O’Brien were shot and killed during a traffic stop only hours after attending the funeral of patrolman James E. Doyle.
Doyle, a 34-year-old Marine Corps veteran who was engaged to be married, had been on the force for just one year when he was gunned down by a robbery suspect on a CTA bus on Feb. 5.
With no local police pipe band available for Fahey and O’Brien’s funerals, members of the Emerald Society of Illinois worked with then–Mayor Jane Byrne to bring the New York Police Department’s Pipes and Drums to Chicago.
The Bagpipes & Drums of the Emerald Society was formed that summer with help from Byrne and Dan Burke, who served 40 years with the department and founded the Emerald Society of Illinois in 1975. Tom Cody, a 30-year veteran of the Cook County Sheriff’s Department, and Patrick Goodman, who spent 28 years with CPD, helped launch the group alongside 42 other Emerald Society members.
“Mayor Byrne provided the initial seed money for the band, and she picked our kilt too, the colors blue, green and white,” Gallas said. “The blue is for police, the green for Irish and the white is the hope of peace throughout the city. She picked all those things, and one of the coolest jobs we’ve had was playing her funeral. The stuff I’ve been able to do, I mean, I never would’ve been able to do without the pipe band.”
Today, the band includes more than 80 uniformed members, including members from over a dozen MAP Chapters. Membership is open only to active and retired law enforcement officers from federal agencies, state and county departments, suburban police forces and the Chicago Police Department.
“We’re always looking for members,” Gallas said. “We teach you from the start. I played sax when I was young, so it does come back to you, but you don’t need any experience.”

Cook County #255
Extension agreement through November 30, 2027
Compensation Adjustments:
• The Extension Agreement provides for enhancements to employee compensation, structured as a combination of a one-time lumpsum payment and progressive wage increases across salary grades and steps. These adjustments apply to all job classifications within the bargaining unit and are tied to specific effective dates, contingent on the first full pay period following the trigger date. Key provisions include:
• Lump-Sum Payment: A one-time, non-recurring payment of $2,500 per employee actively employed as of December 1, 2025, payable effective the first full pay period on or after that date.
• Wage Increases:
° 2.0% across-the-board increase to all pay rates, effective the first full pay period on or after December 1, 2025.
° An additional 2.0% increase, effective the first full pay period on or after June 1, 2026.
° A final 4.0% increase, effective the first full pay period on or after December 1, 2026.
° These increases are cumulative and compound over the extension period, potentially yielding a total wage adjustment of approximately 8.08% (factoring in compounding) by the end of the term, exclusive of the lump-sum payment.
Operational and Relational Commitments:
In acknowledgment of this being a successive extension and the potential for emergent issues in collective bargaining relationships, the parties expressly commit to collaborative problem-solving. This includes a mutual pledge to address any arising matters, such as grievances, workload concerns, or operational changes, through good-faith negotiation during the extension term.
Me-Too Protection:
A safeguard for the Union is the inclusion of a “me-too” clause in Paragraph 4. Should the County negotiate and execute an extension agreement with any other bargaining unit for the identical period (December 1, 2025, through November 30, 2027) that offers superior lump-sum payments or wage increases, the County is obligated to extend those enhanced terms to the Union’s members.

ne of the blessings of having good friends is they sometimes tell you something that completely changes your life. That’s what happened to Anthony Pasquini, a new MAP attorney, when he was fresh out of law school, clerking for a private firm, and working in the corporate world.
“I hated it,” he said. “I felt like I was pushing paper all day, reading things that didn’t make sense, and I didn’t like the weird environment. So, I had a friend in law school, and she said, ‘Have you ever thought of clerking for the State’s Attorney?’ I was unfamiliar with that, and what I knew was from my mom watching ‘Law & Order.’ But I fell in love with it. The first day in court I really felt at home. It was where I was more equipped to be, and I’ve never looked back.”
Program
Pasquini, who started with MAP in late July, may be new to the organization, but he’s no stranger to the law enforcement community. He previously served as an assistant state’s attorney with both the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.
“And between MAP I worked as corporate counsel for the O’Hare Airport Transit System,” Pasquini said. “I spent my first eight years in DuPage working with law and police. So, my journey to this point has not been the most traditional route to go, but one I feel very comfortable with, and I know the community really well. I’m excited to see what problems we approach and how we can resolve them and make some new friends.”
“It means a lot to protect the guys,” he said. “Not being in court now but being able to take care of disciplinary cases and negotiating contracts is a transition, but not one with a lot of hurdles to jump over. It’s a small community and I’ve been able to touch base with the guys I’ve known in the past, build those relationships and learn how the different departments work and administrate.”

His years in the State’s Attorney’s Office helped guide him toward MAP. “Fortunately, I’ve got a good reputation and built up my trial skills as a state’s attorney for doing the bargaining hearings and disciplinary cases,” he said. “It’s like riding a bike. I’m very comfortable and confident in those situations.”

Originally from Melrose Park, Pasquini also serves on the board of directors for WINGS, which provides housing, integrated services, education and advocacy to end domestic violence.
Pasquini, who earned his J.D. from UIC Law School and holds a bachelor’s degree from DePaul University, will enter his 12th year practicing law in 2026.
“It’s a really great organization that does great work all across the state of Illinois for a lot of great people,” he said. “Domestic violence happens everywhere, and it’s very scary and affects everybody. I encourage members to be mindful of that. Whether on the clock or off, they can contact me.”

Summary: MAP Union Steward Seminar
The annual MAP Union Steward Seminar was held on October 22, 2025, at the Bolingbrook Holiday Inn. Attending chapters included police, dispatchers, records, and public works, to name a few.
Many educational topics were covered in reference to leading a chapter as a union steward. Some topics included recognizing and implementing grievances, bargaining, officer-involved shootings, the inner workings of mediation, and the rights of a union steward. Other topics outside the purview of the union were offered as well, which included downstate and IMRF pensions and workers’ compensation.
As always, the success of the MAP Union Steward Seminar would not be possible without the interest and commitment of our chapter leaders who were in attendance. The necessity and interest of these topics were evident through many questions that were asked and the many positive comments received.

Through their expertise, passion, and desire to share their knowledge, MAP enjoys recognition as one of the premier public labor organizations in and around the collar counties of the Chicago metro area.
