Summary

What’s it like to care for your mental and emotional health in the world of professional sports? In today’s podcast, I talk with NFL veteran Rashad Johnson about life in the NFL, and what it looks like to practically care for yourself when the focus tends to be on physical performance. We talk through a hard season he went through, the difficulty of transitioning out of the NFL, and ways he’s learned to take care of his mental health along the way — out of necessity. It’s a powerful conversation that will challenge you to stop and care for yourself right where you’re at. I’m also joined by co-host and fan favorite, Chad Johnson for this amazing conversation.
