In this powerful and deeply human conversation, former professional baseball player Jason Aspito opens up about his rise and journey with the Chicago White Sox organization, the relentless mental pressure of performance, and the unexpected injuries that sparked the start of his inspiring transformation. We explore: * 🧠 The mental health toll of elite performance and constant pressure * ⚾ What the locker room doesn't teach you about healing, identity, and emotion * 🔄 Transitioning from athlete to entrepreneur and redefining success * ❤️ How fatherhood, vulnerability, and mindfulness helped rebuild his life Jason's honesty is raw and refreshing as he shares how chasing the dream eventually brought him face-to-face with everything he had been avoiding—and how stepping away from the game led him back to himself. *** Support the Journey: If this podcast has touched your life, consider supporting the show and exploring our offerings: Donate Here [https://www.journeymindfulness.com/offers/SBfyprG9/checkout] ✨ Free Warrior Spirit Guided Meditation https://www.journeymindfulness.com/warrior_spirit_meditation 🧘 Self-Guided MBSR 8-Week Course https://www.journeymindfulness.com/MBSR 🌀 Guided Self-Hypnosis to Conquer Fear & Doubt https://www.journeymindfulness.com/hypnosis Connect & Explore More: 🌐 Website: https://www.journeymindfulness.com/ 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Journey_Mindfulness 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindfulbmore/ 🐦 Twitter (X): https://x.com/MindfulBmore 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MindfulBmore/
