From the Game 2 Grace is a podcast for families navigating blended family challenges, caregiving responsibilities, mental health struggles, life transitions, and the unique journey after professional sports. If you’re a parent in a blended family, a caregiver supporting a loved one, a spouse adjusting to life after professional football,or a family touched by mental illness this space is for you. Join us in the conversation for real stories, encouragement, and practical tools to help you keep going with hope and resilience. We’re Candice and Jarius Hayes married for 29 years, parents of a blended family, entrepreneurs, and authors. Our journey has taken us from single motherhood and life after Jarius’s career in the NFL, to raising three children and serving as full-time caregivers for our son through his mental health battle. Those experiences fuel our passion to walk with you.
