Real Talk. with John Rudnicki

Following a devastating breakup, I hadn't yet thought about who I was or anything really. All I wanted to find on social media was a voice, one that was nuanced and open to realer conversations of struggle. 

But as a man, we have been taught that vulnerability shows weakness, and I kept to myself. But upon talking with my friends, athletes, and eventually experts in the field of psychology, I found this to be far from the truth. 

If the space is made, intentions are set, and all parties involved actively choose to be honest with one another, we can heal monumentally through conversation, revealing the pains we all feel as a common human experience.

Now, I choose to be intentionally curious and forgiving about all the ups and downs because they never end.
