CONTENT WARNING: sexual assault, anxiety, depressionY'ALL THIS IS A HELLUVA EPISODE. My old pal "Hymes" shares tons of embarrassing stories of me from college, of course. But, we also get into an incredible conversation about Naomi Osaka's incredible stance on mental health in the face of athletic organization's bullying, and we talk about the people who came before her. Obviously this includes the whole "I'm just here so I don't get fined" press conference. This of course turns into our own mental health journeys, our thoughts on the things that are done to us, and some thoughts on overcoming.  Hope this makes you think about mental health, athletes, and athletics organizations in some new, critical ways!!! love you!FOLLOW ALEX:insta: @hymesla https://www.youtube.com/c/DontatMewithAlexandMykell/featuredFOLLOW ME:insta: @ivebeenthinkingpodtiktok: @ivebeenalannahttps://www.ivebeenthinkingpod.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenthinkingpod) Learn more about your ad choices.
