As the 2021 Olympics games are taking place, we discuss the brave decisions made by  Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles as they put their mental/physical health first, despite public opinion. Although there are many critics ostracizing their choices for pulling out of major games, we stand behind them for being transparent. These professional athletes are showing us they are human. They have limitations, just like us.  If you need to step away, to come back at all, you should be allowed to do so.  

Today, we discuss the pressures that we take on at home and in our careers, sometimes even having to compromise in one area in order take care of ourselves. We hope this video will encourage you to check in on your mental health and “its OK to not be OK.” -Naomi Osaka
