**Trigger warning: this episode contains sensitive subject matter that may be triggering to some listeners.**
In light of Mental Health Awareness month and some of the tragic losses in the athletic community, we thought it was time to open the floor and talk about the importance of mental health. As athletes, it is easy for us to push aside this topic because we are afraid of being seen as weak, incompetent, or unable to perform. Today we want to remind you that you are people before athletes and sometimes that can be hard to see because our identity is so deeply wrapped up in our sport but how you are feeling is just as important as the next person. Lauren and Taylor share some of their struggles with mental health and some practical tools to help anyone that may be struggling right now.
If you are struggling, please reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or mental healthcare professional.
