Send a textIn this episode of After the Tones Drop, Cinnamon sits down with AK Dozanti, former deputy sheriff, victim advocate, wellness coach, and author of The Responder Reset: 99 Real-Time Tactics for Frontline Regulation.This conversation is for the people who do not have the luxury of slowing down when stress hits. The ones who need something that works in the moment, not after a weekend retreat or a six week program. AK breaks down how regulation actually works in the body, why most responders are taught to override it instead of support it, and how simple, science backed tools can help you reset without changing the facts of what you are facing.Together, Cinnamon and AK talk about burnout, skepticism, muscle memory, nervous system regulation, and why these tools are not “woo” but basic human biology. They also explore how these skills translate beyond the job into parenting, relationships, and breaking generational cycles.If you are burned out, running on fumes, or tired of being told to “just breathe” without being shown how, this episode will give you language, permission, and tools you can actually use.DISCLAIMER: After the Tones Drop has been presented and sponsored by Whole House Counseling.
