I almost died learning this
June 1, 2013. I was 42, a competitive cyclist at peak strength, three laps from the podium.
I told myself: I’m going to win.
Seconds later, I was slammed into a curb at full speed. Skull cracked. Brain severely injured. Ribs crushed. Lung punctured.
“She’s not going to make it,” the doctors told my friends.
One month in the hospital. Seven months learning to walk, talk, and cut my own food again.
And somewhere in that forced stillness… flat on my back with nothing to achieve and nowhere to go… I finally saw what I’d been running from my whole life:
I had been trying to prove I was enough by winning. By achieving. By being the best.
And that belief - that I wasn’t enough without the wins - was running everything. My business. My relationships. My health. My peace.
The accident didn’t teach me to slow down. It taught me that I am not my achievements. And neither are you.
I share this because I know what it’s like to be successful on paper and exhausted in your soul. To have built something impressive and still feel like you’re never done, never enough, never able to rest.
There is another way to lead. Another way to live.
If you’re ready to find it, I have a few spots left this month—Grab 15 minutes, or more if it’s available.
