Welcome back to Convergence!

In this episode, I dive into the documentary A Clean Slate, which follows Colorado Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog’s intense, years-long journey through injury, recovery, and resilience. As someone who’s also been on a recovery path, this hit especially close to home. From watching Gabe read his own journal entries to reflecting on the emotional toll of setbacks, this doc brought out a lot of passion for me, so I’m sharing some reflections with you.

We talk about the harsh realities of rehab, the illusion of a smooth recovery, and the mental strength it takes to keep going when everything feels uncertain. I also explore the importance of documenting your story, not just for others, but for yourself. Whether it’s journaling, podcasting, or just opening up to someone, sharing can be healing and empowering and also provides great perspective later on.

I going back through some details of my own journey. My surgery anniversary, the ups and downs of tennis season, and how I’ve seen my own growth through the lens of recovery.

If you’ve ever battled something hard, physically, emotionally, mentally, this one’s for you. Let's talk setbacks, comebacks, and why it’s never a waste to put your story out there.
