The Protector Who Needs Protection with Brandon Herron

What happens when the person everyone looks to for strength needs support of his own? In The Protector Who Needs Protection, Stella Umutoni sits down with Brandon Herron, a former University of Michigan linebacker, former police officer, fitness professional, and keynote speaker. Brandon shares his experience of learning challenges, the mental health struggles he faced after years in law enforcement, and rebuilding after breaking both legs. Together, they explore asking for help, identity beyond achievement, faith during uncertainty, and the unfinished middle of a healing journey. This conversation makes room for a form of strength that includes vulnerability, receiving support, and taking life one step at a time. Content note: discussion of PTSI, depression, anxiety, and thoughts of harming self or others.
