If I’m being honest, I was pretty nervous coming into this trip. Not because I didn’t trust my knee or all the work I’ve put in this past year, but just the mental side of going back. When something like that happens, you can’t help but wonder what it’s going to feel like, but you also don’t know until you try!! And I knew if I didn’t do it, it would just keep feeling like this weight hanging over me. I definitely made it bigger in my head than it needed to be, but getting back on the mountain showed me that something that was once felt so heavy, finally wasn’t anymore! Before and during this trip, I leaned on God more than ever. Praying for peace, confidence, and to feel steady in my body 🙏🏼 I kept surrendering it to Him on every lift and before every run, and I know He was with me through it all! I took it one run at a time, listened to my body, pulled back when I needed to, and slowly built that trust back. By the end, I felt confident, strong, and like myself again. Skiing has always brought me so much peace. The views, the quiet, the beauty of what God created… getting to experience that again meant more than I can put into words 🥹 Also just a huge thank you to @honeybadger_juicy and the team at @columncore_humanperformance . I truly would not be here without you. The way you pushed me, challenged me, and showed me what my body was capable of completely changed my recovery. I know God placed me exactly where I needed to be with you! This was more than just a ski trip for me. It was something I’ve been working toward for a long time & finally getting there just felt really, really good 🥹🤍
