Pushing Yourself

As I nursed the fracture in my foot, I found myself on a path that was as much about psychological resilience as it was about physical healing. Life threw me a curveball, and I was forced to face the discomfort head-on — a challenge I share with you to illustrate that the journey toward recovery extends beyond the body to the mind. This episode reflects on overcoming the initial resistance to medical guidance, the struggle with the crutches that became my reluctant companions, and the transformative power of embracing discomfort. You'll hear how I grappled with the mental barriers that often accompany physical limitations, and how I drew strength from the professionals who aided my transition back to wholeness.

Through consultations with my physical therapist and chiropractor, I uncovered parallels between bodily healing and the therapeutic processes in coaching and psychotherapy. They didn't just guide my physical recovery — they coached me through the mental game, too. I'll take you through the moment of truth as I navigated a spring break trip with my son, a milestone that marked not only a return to the activities I love but also a reaffirmation of my identity beyond the injury. Join me as I unpack the insights gained from this experience, and how investing in oneself, sometimes through unconventional methods, can propel us forward into growth, even in the shadow of doubt and fear.
