Former professional football players Soul Cole and Marcus Smith II discuss depression, anxiety, and finding energetic balance with licensed professional counselor Tami Romano. Returning to APN Lodge for the first time in 3 years, Soul shares how major surgeries forced him to be vulnerable for the first time and what he did to find himself outside of aggression. They discuss what it means to shift the culture with intention, how they strive to normalize the heavy moments, and the role of spirituality and silence in healing. Soul closes the episode with a guided meditation and breathwork and shares some of his favorite grounding techniques.
