I got forced to slow down, and it's the lesson I need to learn over and over again.

In this episode, I read a personal essay from my Substack about a tennis injury that took me out mid swing. One minute I'm making an incredible shot down the line, the next I'm on the ground with my knee twisted and my foot throbbing.

But this episode isn't really about the injury. It's about what happens when your body forces you to stop, and what that stillness makes you face, including grief I've been carrying since losing both of my parents.

In this episode, you'll hear…

• The moment I went down mid-shot at a tennis clinic, and the very reaction that followed (spoiler: it involved refusing to stop playing)
• Why I instinctively downplayed the injury and tried to keep going, even with blood involved
• The connection I draw between forcing my body to heal on it's own timeline
