Life's turning points often appear in the most unexpected places. For me, it happened on a church staircase in February 2022 when a simple "How's work going?" opened the floodgates to my darkest thoughts. After 21 years as a homicide detective, I was drowning—diagnosed with PTSD I refused to acknowledge, working 150-hour weeks, sleeping only 3-4 hours between nightmares, and seeing no way out of the darkness.
What makes this story remarkable isn't just my vulnerability in that moment, but how Chris recognized valuable skills buried beneath my despair. While I saw a broken detective who could only work with "the darkness and depravity of humanity," he saw a relationship builder, a systems manager, and someone who could translate complex information for others. When he suggested commercial plumbing sales, I laughed. But his persistence and willingness to help me rebuild, even offering to wait months until I could leave law enforcement, changed everything.
The transition from investigating murders to selling water closet carriers and roof drains might sound strange, but it became my path to healing. This experience taught me that our skills often have applications beyond what we can imagine, and sometimes it takes someone else to see our potential. If you're feeling trapped in your current career or circumstances, remember this: you have transferable skills and talents waiting to be recognized. All it might take is one person willing to see past your current situation to the possibilities that lie beyond. What hidden potential might someone see in you that you've overlooked?
