Description:
In this episode of The Security Guy’d, host Rafee Moosagie takes a unique approach to mental health in the security industry by drawing inspiration from Stephen Covey’s classic, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Security officers face constant stressors—long hours, high alertness, and exposure to risk—that often go unnoticed.

Rafee unpacks how each of the 7 habits can serve as practical tools for managing stress, building resilience, and staying mentally strong on and off duty.

From “being proactive” in self-care to “sharpening the saw” with rest and growth, this conversation blends timeless personal development principles with the real-world challenges of frontline security work. Whether you’re an officer on the ground, a manager supporting your team, or simply someone interested in effective mental health strategies, this episode offers a refreshing and actionable perspective.
