Last year, she founded Next Step Connect, a blog highlighting ways readers can create more authentic connections with themselves, families and community. She has been a firewife of the Round Rock Fire Department for over 20 years and recently began transitioning her expertise to help firewives develop tools to navigate the unique challenges of supporting a first responder. Talley has master’s degrees in teaching and college student development. She is a certified NLP practitioner and trained Gottman Leader. Combining her professional background and personal insights, she offers guidance and support tailored to the firewife lifestyle. Her work outside of her profession in higher education and raising two girls often involves supporting her husband’s department by working with various programs, including an annual spouse conference.
