Overcoming Abuse with Former NFL Linebacker Reggie Walker

Reggie Walker is a retired NFL linebacker. Spending parts of 7
years in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals, San Diego Chargers,
and Denver Broncos, Reggie seemingly had it all but there was much
more bubbling under the surface that was desperately trying to get
out.  Reggie is a survivor of and advocate against mental,
physical, and sexual abuse. His journey through life eventually led
him to football which gave him an outlet to be as physical and
violent as possible. Reggie had so much anger, so much rage he was
lucky to find football. He described having a hard time feeling and
was constantly living life to the extreme, describing it like
"hanging off the edge of a cliff by your pinky toe." Eventually,
this way of life became exhausting. The lines between his persona
in the NFL and the Reggie who was a captain on the field, a leader
off the field, and someone who continually provided support for
those around him were starting to blur. After his daughter told him
she did not feel comfortable around him, he knew it was time to
make a change. Through rehab centers and therapy, Reggie eventually
brought himself out of the depths to be the man you hear on this
episode.  Reggie's LinkedIn page:
