Summary
Allison sits down with Whitney Risner, former college basketball player, entrepreneur, and wife of Bengals guard Dalton Risner, for an honest and hilarious convo about what it’s really like living the NFL life. From moving cross-country on a moment’s notice to trying Skyline Chili at 8 a.m., Whitney shares all the behind-the-scenes chaos that comes with football season, marriage, and starting over in new cities.
They also get real about the early days of Whitney and Dalton’s relationship (spoiler: it involves a throat chop), how counseling helped them through their toughest years, and the faith that keeps them grounded through every move and milestone.
If you love a good love story mixed with some football wife chaos, this one’s for you.
