Why Athletes Need Better Mental Health – Ep. 129 w/ Ongeleke Turner

What Up Doe?! In this episode, we got family in the building as we sit down with my older sister Ongeleke Turner, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of NoFlagNoFoul, a mental wellness platform created specifically for athletes. With over 13 years of experience across clinical settings, Ongeleke shares how her deep-rooted love for sports and passion for healing came together to serve a community often overlooked in the mental health conversation. Her message is clear: athletes are people first, and they deserve space to prioritize their mental health.

We're talking:

• How Ongeleke Turner launched a mental health platform for athletes
• The power of pivoting into purpose-driven entrepreneurship in mental health
• Why athlete mental health matters and how to break the stigma
• Creating confidential mental health support spaces for sports professionals
• Addressing performance pressure, anxiety, and emotional health in athletes

Tap in for a powerful conversation on purpose, sports, and the boldness it takes to build something the athletic world truly needs.
