Description

From wanting to be a doctor in first grade to chasing the dream of basketball through college, my identity was tied to aspirations that shaped my life. When two ACL injuries ended that dream, I was forced to ask myself: Who am I without basketball?

In this deeply personal episode of Middle of the Fence, I open up about:

• The contrast of growing up between Tough Terrain and Affluent Acres.
• How childhood aspirations shaped my identity.
• Facing the reality of losing the game I loved after 17 years.
• The emotional battle with depression, setbacks, and self-worth.
• The love and support from family that carried me through.
• Why chasing dreams is never a straight line — it’s ups, downs, and everything in between.

This episode is a reminder that our value isn’t tied to one dream. It’s about resilience, redefining yourself, and never being afraid to chase what’s next.

Tune in and reflect: Who has shown up for your dreams, and how can you show them love today?
