About this episode
Caleb Campbell shares his journey of healing from grief and emotional trauma after a career in professional football.
Caleb Campbell is a West Point graduate and former Army Officer. Tired of feeling guilty for 'living the dream' of being a professional football player in the NFL and sick of turning to alcohol, drugs, and sex to numb that pain, Caleb moved to Canada and spent years sleeping on the basement floor of a pastor's home. He has since spent almost a decade on a self-discovery journey, healing his emotional trauma and processing the pain that was keeping him stuck and destroying his life. He is now a renowned public speaker.
