In this week's episode we dive into an extraordinary story from The Athletic that reminds us just how powerful human connection can be. When Olympic legend Michael Phelps and NFL insider Jay Glazer reconnected, it wasn’t over highlights or achievements—it was over shared experiences with anxiety, depression, and what Glazer calls "the gray." What followed was more than a friendship; it became a lifeline—not just for them, but for an ever-growing circle of athletes, coaches, and entertainers who found strength through vulnerability.We reflect on the unlikely and deeply moving “support squad” that grew out of simple text check-ins and open conversations. You'll hear us talk about how “battle buddies” like Phelps, Glazer, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Sean McVay are redefining what toughness looks like—from the outside and the inside. We talk about the value of having people who see you fully—not just at your best, but at your most broken—and how that presence, not perfection, is what pulls us through.We also unpack the role of community in healing, the power of making space for honest feelings, and why showing up before things go sideways might be one of the greatest mental health tools we have. From UFC fighters to Super Bowl coaches to regular people like us, this story offers a blueprint for what it looks like to take care of each other—especially when life hits hard.If you've ever felt alone in your struggle, or unsure of how to support someone who’s going through it, this one is for you. Let this episode remind you: we don’t rise alone—and we don’t have to fall alone either.
