The Baller Alert Show welcomed two powerful voices to the studio this week: Chanel Nicole Scott, creator of Comin’ Through the Breakthrough, and Deiondra Sanders, daughter of NFL legend Deion Sanders. Sitting down with host Ferrari Simmons, the women brought thoughtful energy and transparency to an episode filled with real conversations around relationships, healing, and postpartum experiences.
Chanel and Deiondra didn’t hold back. From diving into emotional wellness and past trauma to navigating motherhood and internet drama, they covered it all.
Deiondra opened up about the emotional toll of postpartum and how it hit her harder than she expected, even with a strong support system in place.
“I didn’t really think it was that real,” she admitted. “Even with all the help I had, I still had thoughts that made me question why I didn’t feel happier. I felt like I lost my identity.”
Her vulnerability was a standout moment, especially when she revealed how journaling and reconnecting with purpose helped her push through. She’s currently working on a journal project focused on pre- and postpartum reflection.
Chanel, known for her deep conversations around healing and purpose, shared how she and Deiondra connected after a public situation caught her attention. With a background in relationship discourse, Chanel said she was moved to reach out and collaborate on a greater mission around healing and empowerment.
“I focus on operating in purpose,” she explained. “Because when you know who you are, how people treat you no longer defines you.”
The two women also addressed how unresolved trauma can show up in relationships. Deiondra was open about a recent viral moment tied to comments she made on social media — one she now acknowledges could’ve been handled differently.
“I take responsibility for how I said it, but not what I said,” she said. “I just wasn’t given a platform to share my side. That’s where it came from.”
The conversation also ventured into sex, boundaries, and emotional maturity in relationships. Deiondra spoke candidly about the importance of chemistry and being able to speak honestly in a partnership, while Chanel emphasized how rejection shaped her self-awareness and approach to love.
Ferrari also got personal, revealing his own growth journey through therapy and how it’s helped strengthen his marriage and emotional communication.
“I realized I kept having the same arguments with different people,” he shared. “Eventually, I had to admit — it was me. So I got help.”
The episode wrapped on a high note with a check-in on Deiondra’s brother, Shedeur Sanders, and his path to the NFL Draft. Deiondra expressed pride in his work ethic and remained supportive of wherever his journey takes him.
“I just want him to land somewhere that’s a good fit. He’s done the work, and that’s what matters.”
With heartfelt exchanges, vulnerable moments, and a few laughs in between, this Baller Alert Show episode gave listeners an unfiltered look at personal growth, healing, and the strength found in sisterhood and self-reflection.
