WEEKEND:Serving the Community | Leadership, Elections & First Responder Mental Health (Ep 725)
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Two important conversations today — both centered on leadership, service, and strengthening our communities here in the Upstate.
First, we sit down with Charlianne Nestlen, a leader who has spent years building connections, strengthening alumni engagement, and serving her community behind the scenes. Now, she’s stepping forward into a new chapter — taking that experience into the political arena. We talk about her background, what shaped her leadership style, and why she’s decided to run for office.
Then, we turn to an issue that often goes overlooked — the mental health and well-being of our law enforcement officers and first responders.
Joining us is Theresa Thompson, Chief Operating Officer of Upstate Warrior Solution — an organization dedicated to helping veterans and first responders transition, connect, and thrive. Theresa shares details about a new initiative focused on providing year-round wellness resources for law enforcement officers and their families across the Upstate.
From leadership and public service… to supporting those who serve and protect… these are conversations that matter.
