Unfiltered with Jen Archuleta
We’re all tired of pretending—the filters, the fake smiles, and the highlight reels. People crave something real.
That’s why I created Unfiltered with Jen Archuleta—a space for stories of survival, strength, and healing.
The truth? It hurts.
But it also heals.
I’ve hit rock bottom more than once. Every fall taught me something.
You might be in it right now—just entering, stuck in the storm, or trying to rise again.
This podcast is for you.
For those who’ve overcome and those still fighting.
For the ones who’ve been through the fire—misunderstood, mislabeled, or brought to their knees.
Here, we don’t sugarcoat the pain or glamorize the comeback.
We get honest—because the truth hurts, but it also heals.
You may get the prize, but the gift is in the journey.
Let’s stop faking it and start feeling it. Let’s tell the truth so someone else knows they’re not alone.
Authenticity always wins.

Unfiltered with Jen Archuleta
Unfiltered: Episode 1 – Adam Archuleta
In the premiere episode of Unfiltered with Jen Archuleta, I sit down with my husband, Adam Archuleta — former NFL safety and CBS Sports analyst — for a candid conversation about the grind behind the game and what it means to rebuild your identity when everything falls apart.
🏈 From Walk-On to NFL Star
Adam wasn’t recruited out of high school — no offers, no scholarship. But he walked on at ASU, played alongside Pat Tillman, and pushed himself relentlessly — eventually becoming the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
🧠 The Inner Battle
Adam suffered multiple concussions — and his fourth should have been career-ending. He opens up about the toll football took — not just on his body, but his mind. It’s a topic that’s part of the game, but rarely discussed in this depth.
💔 The Washington Chapter
His time in Washington came with pressure, injuries, and high expectations. It was a season of professional frustration and personal growth as he began to wrestle with who he was beyond the field.
🧢 Playing for Lovie Smith
Later in his career, Adam reunited with Coach Lovie Smith — someone he had played for before and deeply respected. They had a great relationship, and he hoped it would be a strong chapter. But at the same time, the global financial collapse hit, and Adam had a baby on the way. It was a time full of transition, uncertainty, and personal pressure — both on and off the field.
🎙️ Reinvention
They said he’d never make it in broadcasting. He went anyway. Today, he’s a respected analyst on CBS. We talk about rejection, staying grounded, and finding purpose beyond one identity.
❤️ Beyond the Helmet
You’ll hear what matters most to him now — his faith, his family, and living with meaning when the game is over.
The truth hurts, but it also heals.
