Really glad this podcast is around

I’m just a kid, but I’m glad that people that I look up to and see on TV are able to open and be vulnerable. I think that’s really cool and I can’t wait to see who’s next!

Powerful

This is such a powerful and encouraging podcast! Mental illness seems to be a silent problem making those suffering feel alone. You give them a voice, venue and a light at the end of the tunnel. We are not alone! Thank you for this powerful podcast and helping all of those in need!

Proud

It’s truly a privilege to be a part of the production of this series, and with this host!

We are really striving to reach people who otherwise may never have given the consideration of addressing their mental health a fighting chance. We believe that representation matters, and when you hear things from people who share a love & passion for sports they way many athletes - from little league to the pros - do, it becomes a catalyst to open some minds and bring light to the fact that any of us can have mental challenges, even the “toughest” of athletes.

This work has meaning; it simply feels good!

Hope you enjoy...
