In this episode of Hey Boo, Lauren Turner, LCSW, and Lynnea Molina, LCSW, CST, speak with Eidit Choochage, LCSW, about the nervous system and how it shapes emotional responses in everyday life.
They explore how the nervous system works through fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and how stress, trauma, and daily triggers can activate these states. The conversation also looks at how awareness of these patterns can support emotional regulation, relationships, and self-understanding. Practical tools are shared, including breathwork, grounding, movement, rest, and gentle self-soothing techniques like bilateral tapping.

In this short but powerful rapid-fire Q & A with Tha Misfits, Lauren Turner, LCSW and Lynnea Molina, LCSW, we were dipping deep into athlete mental health and the emotional reality of competition in just a few minutes. From anxiety and locker room culture to breakups, brain health and athletes seeking therapy, we unpack what it really feels like to perform under pressure. We talk sports social work, identity, vulnerability and what happens when the game ends, but the thoughts don't.
Because winning doesn't eliminate pressure- and losing doesn't define you.

Hey Boo! In this episode, we’re joined by Tha Misfits as we go beyond the game and into what we don’t talk about enough: men’s mental health in sports. We unpack the emotional pressure placed on men, especially athletes, and how performance culture shapes vulnerability, relationships, and self-worth. From locker-room norms to romantic relationships, we explore how emotional expression can be taught, restricted, and sometimes misunderstood.
