Former professional football players "Dusty" and Anthony Fasano discuss mental health stigma, vulnerability, resilience, authenticity, and what's on the other side of health challenges with licensed professional counselor Tami Romano. Dusty shares how he went from struggling with a career-ending injury and all-consuming depression to using his athletic mindset to make progress in treatment and inspire others. They discuss what it means to be a person of strength, the mental health toolbox Dusty leans into when he's struggling, and finding healing in community.
