What do you do when the thing that keeps you grounded is suddenly taken away?

In this episode of, I dive into the psychological and emotional side of injury recovery—specifically the mental battle that comes when your body forces you to slow down, but your identity is built around momentum.

I’m currently dealing with quadriceps tendinitis, and instead of rushing past it, I wanted to sit inside the experience and talk honestly about what injury really takes from us—and what it can give back if we let it.

We explore:

• Why injury is not just a physical setback, but a psychological event
• The guilt, fear, anxiety, and identity loss that often come with forced rest
• Why recovery is an active skill, not passive laziness
• How high-performing people can stay confident and mentally strong when training is limited
• What sports psychology teaches about mental recovery, mindset, and long-term performance
• How faith, trust, and surrender can play a role when progress feels out of your control

This episode is for any high-performing human navigating a season where things have gone sideways—physically, mentally, or emotionally.

If you’re injured, burned out, or struggling with rest, this conversation will help you reframe recovery as preparation, regain confidence in the process, and remember that this chapter still counts.

Keep Getting After It.
