🎙️ Spill the Tea with D & E : In this powerful episode, Erica and Dominique sit down with heavy hearts after the loss of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, who died by suicide just days after scoring his first NFL touchdown. 🏈💔 They unpack the brutal pressure cooker facing athletes—from Friday night lights to the NFL—and expose why “I’m good” can’t be the end of the conversation anymore. This is a straight-talk, no-shame, no-gossip space about teen mental health, performance anxiety, identity, and the silent battles happening behind highlight reels. You’ll walk away with: • Real questions parents & coaches can ask tonight • A simple game plan for teams to support mental health • Peer-to-peer tools for athletes to have each other’s backs • Clear next steps if someone you love might be at risk This episode is for every teen, teammate, coach, and parent who refuses to lose another kid to silence. It’s okay to not be okay. Help is real. You are needed here. 🌿 (If you or someone you love is struggling, in the U.S. call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.)
