This episode is dedicated to Kobe Bryant and all of the Orange County families affected by the helicopter crash in Calabasas. Mamba strong.

We kick off Super Bowl week right with a Super Bowl Champ, Seattle's own RB Robert Turbin! Rob shares his journey from being drafted by the Seahawks in the 4th Round to hopping around the league, to getting dropped by the Colts while rehabbing an injury, and then sitting out an entire season. Then, he received the best Christmas present imaginable on December 24th - a call to come home and sign with Seattle. In Rob's words: "Never give up on God, he'll never give up on you". Plus... we get a little teaser of what's to come on the Robert J Turbin podcast!

Blair Westerlund joins the podcast! Blair has survived the highest of pressures as a D1 athlete, but didn't get to leave the court completely on her own terms. After tearing her ACL and undergoing multiple surgeries, the University of Texas Volleyball player had a choice to make: risk it all for the teammates she'd die for or walk away with her head up for the sake of her own mental health. Through decades of dealing with paralyzing anxiety and panic attacks, Blair has learned to love the person she is today because of what she's been through. Today she is a mental health advocate and blogger setting an example for the next generation of athletes under pressure. Blair, Bridget, and Lauren break down the mental health stigma in college sports, dealing with the pressures of social media, and saying yes to medication and therapy.

Drew Mellon is your classic D1 college athlete. As a walk-on at the nationally acclaimed University of Arizona basketball team, Drew lived out every kid's dream of suiting up on the world's biggest stage and punching multiple tickets to the NCAA tournament. After the final buzzer of his career, he was without a plan for the first time in his life. Grinding his way through a few boring sales jobs, Drew met his girlfriend Molly. Not only did he meet his dream girl, but he found his saving grace that picked him up when he felt his lowest. Drew and Molly are bloggers/influencers who strive to make our digital world a better place. They post with a purpose - to encourage others to find their own style and promote mental health awareness. On this episode Drew and Molly touch on Drew's transition from the basketball court to the blog, defying influencer stereotypes, and the importance of understanding how apps like Instagram can affect our mental health.
