Bret Lockett, NFL Player Turned Love Coach

Bret Lockett is an ex-NFL player who found his second calling as a transformational love coach and he's on a mission. A spiritual guide and an alchemist, he's now an internationally recognized speaker and relationship expert focused on balancing the yin and yang energies in romantic relationships. He grew up in California, went to UCLA and then played for the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots and New York Jets before retiring in 2013. His career was marked by injuries, setbacks, and like many professional athletes, a refusal to give up. But unlike many others, after his career ended, Bret started searching for a new way to channel his energy and eventually shifted his external search for meaning inward. Nowadays, aside from speaking, coaching, and running an aviation company, Bret is using all of the lessons he has learned about ego, masculinity, and how we can help each other with the traumas we all carry, to inform his work with women seeking to transform and receive love. But as he explains on today's podcast, while he works mainly with women, he thinks the root of the problem in modern relationships lies in men. From the deepest caves to the chilliest cold plunges, Bret has done the work most men simply can't or won't do. He's become an expert in gene keys and a seeker of deeper truths about the nature of human consciousness. Now lest you think he's Superman, rest assured that he still can't get his siblings on board. But he won't give up on that either, and my money's on him. Today we talk about ego, what it is, how the NFL or any really early success can cause it to metastasize, and what it takes to really reinvent yourself. We explore how he got into breath work and the role that fear has played in his life. The growing imbalance in relationships isn't all cause for alarm, according to Bret. He describes a powerful experience of awakening to how much pain so many women carry, how much fear men hold in silence, and how he wishes he could teach them to simply hold space for each other. My vote is for him to lead a breathwork, self -love, and vulnerability course as a prerequisite for young men joining the NFL. In case this podcast reaches the folks who can make that happen, on behalf of all women on the planet, as well as all the little boys idolizing these athletes: Thank you in advance.
