Silence The Shame podcast

In partnership with NFL Players Association (NFLPA), we sit down with former NFL player, Rennie Curran, to highlight the importance of mental health, especially among athletes, emphasizing the need to break stigmas and normalize conversations around emotional well-being. Rennie Curran shares his journey from NFL player to mental health advocate, stressing the significance of personal development, therapy, and community support in overcoming challenges and fostering resilience. During this episode, you hear key themes surrounding: 1. Seeking help from professionals, such as therapists, can uncover blind spots in emotional awareness. This support can facilitate a deeper understanding of oneself and enhance mental health. 2. Understanding personal triggers is crucial for emotional healing and proactive behavior. Recognizing past trauma allows individuals to break free from harmful cycles and improve relationships. 3. Sharing personal challenges can help others realize they are not alone in their struggles.
