I was fresh off a destination wedding in #Montana with my wife when I sat down for a conversation with Christopher. The beauty of the mountains 
, the fresh air, and of course, the celebration of the bride and groom made for an enlightening experience.
It’s been just over 10 years since I ruptured both of my patella tendons while on the road to the 2016 Rio Games. That moment marked the beginning of an inner reconciliation process that—at first—felt more like destruction than growth.
But time has a way of reshaping pain. It can build strength from the wounds that leave scars. #Patience, #consistency, and #discipline become quiet, steady pillars that carry us forward. Through it all, we evolve—not just in how we move through the world, but in how we see ourselves.
We are each a process. And as we grow through difficulty, our roles shift, our perspectives stretch, and our relationship with ourselves deepens. In turn, so does our connection to others.
#Grateful to have shared part of that journey on The Mentally Shredded Show. I hope this conversation offers something for anyone walking through transition, reflection, or the quiet rebuilding phase of life.
