In this first episode of Unfiltered, I sit down with my husband, Adam Archuleta—former NFL safety and now a CBS Sports analyst—for a real conversation about the moments most people don’t know.

🏈 From being overlooked in high school, to walking on at ASU, to playing alongside Pat Tillman—Adam’s story is full of grit and heart. He went from having zero offers… to becoming the highest-paid safety in the NFL.

💥 But success came with pressure.
We talk about the dark days in Washington—expecting a second chance under Lovie Smith, but instead facing career-ending injuries, losing his starting job, and losing his sense of identity.

👶 He became a father during one of the most uncertain times in recent history—when the global financial situation was collapsing and the world felt unstable.



🧠 We talk about the mental side—the self-talk, the fear, the moments he questioned if he’d ever come back from it.

🎙️ He was told he wouldn’t make it in broadcasting. At NFL Broadcast Boot Camp, someone literally said, “You won’t succeed.”
Now he’s on CBS every weekend.

💪 This episode is about the grind. The faith. The mindset. The family behind the man.
And how you can reinvent yourself, even when the world tells you can’t.
