Leaving the Police at 21?! Navigating Loss & Finding Strength ft. Georgina | Get The Gist

This week on Get The Gist, Roz, Rí, and Princess sit down with the amazing Georgina a proud Yoruba woman, former police officer (at 21?!), and someone who has experienced both the highs and heartbreaks of life.

We start with some lighter chats about driving tests, Ireland vs London chaos, and life in the police force but then move onto a deeply personal conversation that we are extremely grateful and honoured to hold space for.

💛 Tammy’s Story

With great sensitivity, Georgina opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her younger sister Tammy, who tragically passed away in 2025 after a violent incident involving a housemate with a history of domestic violence. Tammy had reported concerns multiple times but was failed by the systems meant to protect her.

Georgina shares how this loss forever changed her — leaving her grieving both her sister and the version of herself that existed before. She now lives with intention, honouring Tammy’s spirit and carrying her “better half” energy forward. We are deeply thankful to Georgina for trusting us with such a personal and powerful story.

This episode blend honesty, vulnerability, and strength — exactly what Get The Gist is all about.
