    • Mental Health Quickcast: Susy Ramirez

      Mental Health Quickcast: Susy Ramirez
      Feb 18 2026
      In this heartfelt conversation, Susy Ramirez—Kennedy Kids Foundation board member and the heart behind Dani's Balloons—joins Robert Bailey and Bailey Brooks Mashburn to share a story rooted in resilience, reinvention, and purpose.

      Susy opens up about the mental-health challenges that shaped her life across seasons: immigrating from Honduras, being bullied as a child, navigating the pressure and expectation of NFL cheerleading, and enduring deeply personal losses— including her family’s devastating experience with suicide. She reflects on how grief can stay raw for years, and why community is often the bridge that helps people keep going.

      Together, they pull back the curtain on the “glamour” of professional cheerleading—talking about body image pressure, perfection culture, financial strain, and the emotional toll that many people never see. But this episode is also about hope: how service, movement, family, and meaningful rituals can become survival tools—like Susy’s powerful way of honoring her nephew through the “Brendan’s Sandwich Project,” giving food to people in need. Susy also shares the mindset practices that help her stay grounded: prioritizing fitness, taking pride in caring for herself, showing up for her family, and giving back—because helping others can sometimes be the very thing that helps you heal.

    • How Bryant McFadden, Former Shutdown Cornerback in the NFL, Addresses His Mental Health Mindset

      How Bryant McFadden, Former Shutdown Cornerback in the NFL, Addresses His Mental Health Mindset
      Feb 17 2026
      Former NFL cornerback Bryant McFadden (B Mac), two-time Super Bowl champion, Florida State legend, and CBS Sports football analyst, joins Bailey & Buck Unplugged to talk about athlete mental health, identity after sports, and what life feels like when football ends. Bryant opens up about hitting a dark place when his NFL career ended, and why retirement can feel like losing your structure, your identity, and your daily purpose all at once. He breaks down what he calls “double trouble,” how being a man and being a former athlete can make asking for help feel impossible, and what finally pushed him to talk to a professional. We also get into how athletes can approach mental wellness the same way they approach film, training, and getting better every day.

      Bryant shares practical steps for finding the right therapist, why you should never settle for a “yes man,” and how building a new passion helped him stay connected to the game while creating a healthier life outside of it. Plus, the crew talks rivalry culture, NIL, and how the pressure on athletes starts way earlier than people realize.
