  • Coach Mike Rumph on Therapy, Resilience, and Raising Mentally Strong Kids

    Coach Mike Rumph on Therapy, Resilience, and Raising Mentally Strong Kids
    Jan 12 2026
    In this episode of Bailey and Buck Unplugged, the hosts sit down with Coach Mike Rumph—Director of Football Recruiting & On-Campus Experience at the University of Miami, a former first-round NFL Draft pick, and a leader who’s unapologetically changing the conversation around mental health in sports and at home. Mike shares the turning point that pushed him to prioritize his mental wellness: a painful in-game moment early in his career that led him to work with therapist Kevin Elko, learn mental performance tools, and rebuild his confidence—so powerfully that he says he never gave up another touchdown after that play. He opens up about growing up without his mother, how childhood anger showed up on the field, and how therapy helped him understand what he was really carrying. The conversation also dives into marriage, communication, and what it looks like to model emotional strength as a father—because Mike doesn’t just go to therapy; he brings his kids too, making it clear that getting support is normal, healthy, and encouraged. From the importance of decompression time after work, to using the gym as mental clarity, to coaching with discipline without humiliation, Mike offers real-world tools for athletes, parents, and partners. This episode is packed with powerful reminders: your mistakes aren’t forever, asking for help isn’t weakness, and resilience is built through honesty, community, and the courage to do the inner work—on and off the field.

    If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone.

    Mental Health Quick Cast: Penelope Sosa
    Dec 17 2025
    World-renowned international fashion model Penelope Sosa joins Bailey and Buck Unplugged for an honest, empowering conversation about mental health, resilience, and staying grounded in an industry built on image and pressure. From being discovered at 15 in Venezuela—with a fiercely protective mom by her side—Penelope shares what it was like navigating international modeling as a young woman, and the moment in Paris that forced her to choose safety over opportunity.

    In this episode, she opens up about boundaries, trusting your gut, and how one traumatic experience led her to step away, heal, and eventually rebuild her confidence and career—ultimately creating a life and home base in Miami. She also discusses depression through the lens of personal loss and betrayal, how insomnia became one of her toughest battles, and the self-care practices that helped her recover—especially acupuncture, movement, nourishing food, and a mindset rooted in gratitude and perspective.

    You’ll also hear practical wisdom she now shares with younger models—about protection, finances, and self-respect—plus a thoughtful exchange on alternative tools like EFT tapping and why “being labeled difficult” is often what happens when women simply refuse to tolerate mistreatment.
