In this episode, Mikki and Jess explore the emotional and psychological weight of injury—whether it’s you, your child, or your client navigating it. From mindset shifts to nutrition strategies, they unpack how identity, performance, and healing are deeply intertwined. Jess shares her current journey supporting her athletic son through a shoulder injury and the insights that ripple out into parenting, coaching, and self-reflection. They cover the hidden grief of losing part of your identity when you can’t do what you love, and how to reclaim agency through small, intentional actions—like smarter nutrition, active recovery, and staying connected to your community. Whether you’re sidelined by a niggle or something bigger, this episode is a reminder: you’re not stuck, you’re adapting.
