In this week’s episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, I’m joined by Clayton Echard. He’s been on the popular TV show The Bachelor, he is an author, and his passion is destigmatizing the conversations surrounding mental health. During my interview with Clayton, I asked him about the concept of mindfulness, his struggle with weight, and body dysmorphia.

“So, I literally left the running backs meeting and I go into the bathroom, I pulled my pants down and I looked at my ass and I was like, Yo, my ass sucks because I noticed that I just have a short ass.” Danny (10:00)

Listen to this episode as we talk about Clayton’s time on The Bachelor, what his future plans are, how he almost went to liposuction, and how communication and journaling helped him.

“Half the time when I was playing football or when I was The Bachelor, I was just present at the moment, but I kind of blacked out mentally, like I was just there, right? Reacting, didn't have time to analyze everything. So, I didn't know what all was occurring.” – Clayton (45:27)
