Christopher Weedon, Founder of Mentally Shredded®

Christopher Weedon is a dynamic speaker, coach, entrepreneur, certified meditation and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) practitioner, wellness advocate, podcast host, and actor. He has delivered impactful talks at companies like AT&T and Rack Room Shoes and appeared in supporting roles across film and television. Known for "painting the canvas of life," Chris turned his personal battle with anxiety and depression into a mission to help others reclaim their mental well-being.

After competing as a semi-pro soccer player with overseas stints in Thailand, Germany, and Northern Ireland, Chris transitioned into corporate leadership. From 2015 to 2021, he steadily rose through the ranks to become one of the youngest regional managers at his company, gaining valuable insight into team dynamics, performance pressure, and organizational growth. That experience deepened his understanding of burnout and mental health challenges in the workplace.

In July 2021, Chris reached a breaking point, experiencing overwhelming anxiety, depression, and a panic attack that became the catalyst for deep personal transformation. That moment led to therapy, self-discovery, and the creation of two aligned but distinct platforms:

Mentally Shredded®, a personal brand and media platform focused on mental wellness, personal growth, coaching, and content creation

The Mentally Shredded Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health through community programs, events, and burnout prevention initiatives

Since 2020, Chris has hosted the Mentally Shredded Podcast, featuring over 100 guests and reaching listeners in more than 50 countries. The show highlights real stories of triumph, mental wellness strategies, and honest conversations that connect people across backgrounds. His work has also been featured in USA Today, further establishing his impact in the mental health space.

Through coaching, workshops, and live events, Chris helps individuals and organizations break through mental barriers, align with purpose, and build a foundation for lasting transformation.
