Ep 13: PTSD and Purpose: Healing, Wealth, and Vulnerability with TedX Speaker | Reggie D. Ford

Join Dr. C and Tesh Johnson in The Mental Locker Room as they welcome Reggie D. Ford, former Vanderbilt football player, bestselling author of PTSD: Perseverance Through Severe Dysfunction, TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and powerful mental health advocate.

Reggie’s journey is one of grit, transformation, and purpose. From growing up in poverty to walking on to the Vanderbilt football team, earning multiple degrees, and founding RoseCrete Wealth Management, his story is proof that pain doesn’t have to define your future. It can shape your power.

This conversation is bigger than football. Reggie opens up about how vulnerability became his superpower, how trauma can be transformed into legacy, and why wealth means nothing without wellness. He doesn’t just share a story; he gives us a blueprint for healing, building, and leading with intention.
