And my slogan, as I've said it to you, it's through our path, and only through our path, that we can gain our future.
Imagine being the spouse of a former NFL player, watching them battle the debilitating effects of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) while fighting an uphill battle for support. In this episode of The Alan Charles Show, Alan sits down with Brandi Winans, wife of Jeff Winans, a 7-year NFL veteran who faced the harsh realities of CTE. Brandi shares her deeply personal journey, revealing the challenges she faced in getting the NFL to acknowledge and assist with her husband's condition.
But her fight didn't stop there; Brandi now champions for others through the Concussion Foundation, helping families navigate the complex world of brain injuries and addiction. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Alan and Brandi discuss the impact of opioids on NFL players, weaving in their own experiences with addiction. They stress the importance of seeking help and the power of community in overcoming these struggles.
Brandi's book, 'The Flip Side of Glory', serves as a poignant backdrop to their discussion, offering insights into life after football and the hidden battles many families face. This episode is a powerful reminder of the strength found in sharing stories and the critical role of support systems in breaking the stigma around addiction and mental health.
