Your Host
One knee injury my junior year of college soccer led to six surgeries, rehabbing the entire length of your average college career, and being forced to medically retire. Throughout my rehab process, I was always searching for inspiration and hope that it would work out. I found plenty of that! In fact, there were very few stories I came across where it didn’t work out eventually.
That wasn’t my reality, though. Despite how hard I worked, I never made it out on the other side. I created this podcast to share stories of almost. While life doesn't always work out the way we envision, there can be so many good things that come out of our almosts!

“You can’t foresee regret. You can’t predetermine or know in advance if you’re going to make a decision and regret that decision, especially with these huge decisions... Am I going to just do this year at this ballet company, see how it goes... ”
