Ep. 8 - Bouncing Back From Mistakes

Iren Rainey, NBA player development specialist joins Food For Thought to share about his journey from young professional athlete, to his incarceration, and then to making a name for himself again by working with NBA athletes. Iren opens up about how basketball was an outlet for his grief after the death of his father and how he worked to reestablish his identity after his time in jail. He shares what helped him to not feel defined by his mistakes, how he had to work to build back trust with his mom, and the tools that helped him persevere in prison. Iren and Ashley discuss what resilience looks like, letting go of control over life's outcomes, and how to keep thriving despite your past mistakes. Ready to take action on your own self-growth?
