Butterfly Road

From the outside looking in, Terry Bradshaw had it all -- 4 Super Bowls, a great job as an NFL analyst, wife and kids, appearances in movies and TV shows. His never-ending success, colorful personality, and southern charm made him a fan-favorite all over the world. But this happy facade made it that much harder for the public to believe him when he came out with depression and ADD. Some even went as far as accusing him of using it as a publicity stunt.

Join us as we discuss the obstacles Bradshaw overcame in a time period known for turning a blind eye to mental health.

We’re strong believers in the idea that if we were all a little more educated on mental illness and how to help, the world would be a better place. Struggling with a mental illness is hard -- we spent the first 25 episodes just scratching the surface! This episode is dedicated to those on the sideline just trying to help. Our conversation dives into what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do. Tune in to hear our advice on being there for someone going through it! 

Join us this week as we sit down with Dr. Brad Miller, a 20-year clinical psychologist and founder at Soccer Resilience. Brad specializes in helping youth and adult athletes strengthen confidence, resilience, performance and well-being on and off the field. 

We asked him all the things on our minds, as well as YOUR submitted questions. From pandemic stress, to reset techniques, to performance anxiety in and out of sport — Brad had us leaving refreshed, validated and feeling as though we had our own little therapy session. If you want in on all these good vibes, tune in!

Being grateful and practicing gratitude can be very different things. For example, I'm grateful for Netflix, wine, and not receiving any work emails before 9 AM. But to properly practice gratitude, one must do it with intent. It could be anything big or small, silly or serious -- as long as you're consistent.  

The more committed you are to practicing gratitude, the more your brain picks up on the beautiful little things all around us. It changes your brain chemistry and literally makes you think happier thoughts. If that's not a cheat code, I don't know what is! Join us this week as we discuss the benefits of practicing gratitude and the different ways you can incorporate it into your daily routine.

This week, we take you through an Athlete Spotlight episode featuring none other than the beautiful and brave Aly Raisman. You may know her as the two-time Olympic gymnast — but do you know her story?

Her story isn’t one of defeat, however, as she has stepped up and been vocal about her issues in the hopes of helping others. Tune in to hear her struggles, and more importantly, the techniques she uses to stay level-headed and kick her demons in the butt. 

After a two-week reset, we're back to talk about just that! Resetting and giving yourself the proper recovery from life -- whether that's physically, mentally, or both!

However, the right techniques and tools can help you feel in control and empowered to get yourself back on the right track. Tune in and recharge with us!
