Suddenly, the identity you carried for years feels like it slips away.

The question whispers loud: Who am I without the game?

But, here's what we learned. The end of the game is not the end of your story

Grace meets you where the game leaves you .

Grace says you are more than what you do.

Grace says : There is purpose after the platform.

Grace says : Your best days are not behind you.

This week's conversation is another reminder that you position may change, but your purpose remains.

On this episode of FromThe Game2Grace, we open up about what it felt like to walk through one of the life's hardest hits.

Quote by Jarius Hayes : " Alot of times you will focus on what you didn't accomplish rather than what you did accomplish"

This raw conversation will encourage anyone facing setbacks, reminding you that even in loss, there's perspective, growth and God's timing .

It's no fun going through adversity, nobody wants to. But what truly matters is how you overcome it.

In this episode, we share Jarius's journey: after being released from the Arizona Cardinals, he went on to play for NFL EUROPE expansion team, the Amsterdam Admirals. One season later, the same team that let him go the Arizona Cardinals called him back.

His story is a reminder that even when things look bleak, there's always hope. Stay encouraged. Believe in the process. Never lose faith in small beginnings.

Welcome to From The Game 2 Grace a real, no-fluff space where we open up about our life, our marriage, and what it’s truly been like to live the blended family experience.

After 29 years together, raising children, navigating life after the NFL, and overcoming private challenges including a silent mental health battle with our youngest son we’re sharing what most people don’t talk about.

We’ve lived through the stereotypes, the assumptions, the outside opinions and we’re here to show you that with love, maturity, and faith, a blended family can work beautifully.

This podcast is for anyone in a blended family, dating someone with kids, or simply trying to protect their peace while raising children in complex dynamics.

From tough conversations and boundary setting to mental well-being and healing generational silence, this is real life shared with honesty and heart.

In this powerful recap episode of From the Game 2 Grace, we take a moment to reflect not just on what we’ve talked about, but on what we’ve lived through. These conversations come from real places, from the pain one of us walked through, to the grace we’ve chosen to extend together as we grow as a family.

Some of these lessons were learned the hard way. But today, we’re offering preventive wisdom things we wish we had known to help others navigate their family journeys with less stress, less chaos, and more understanding.

In this episode, we reflect on:

• Rewiring harmful thought patterns rooted in past pain

• Healing from emotional scars and how that shaped our family dynamic

• Moments of deep empathy that changed how we show up for others

• The ups and downs of blended families, and what makes them thrive

• How to begin mature, honest conversations that prevent future breakdowns

We didn’t get everything right, but we’ve grown through faith, through real talk, and grace. And now, we’re here to help you do the same.

If you’re in a blended family, dating someone with kids, or about to marry into

one there are a few things we believe every couple needs to understand:

• You must be willing to have mature, honest conversations about expectations.

• You have to create and protect healthy boundaries not just for yourselves, but for the child.

• Respect isn’t just nice it’s necessary, especially when emotions are high.

• And most importantly: keep the focus on the child. Their peace, their safety, and their stability must come first.

This episode is all about giving you the tools to do that with grace, courage, and love.

In this episode, we take it back nearly 30 years to the beginning of our relationship and the thought process behind healing from relationship trauma. I open up about life as a single mother, carrying the weight of past challenges, while my husband coming from a very different path offered stability, love, and a new perspective.

We talk about how he invited me into his world through his journey from college football to the NFL, and how that opened the door for growth and trust. With his insight from the male perspective and my encouragement rooted in hope, we share how two people from completely different backgrounds built something lasting. This episode is a reminder that even when love starts in separate places, teamwork and faith can take it somewhere powerful.
