3. Turning Injury Into Opportunity: The 5 Pillars of Strategic Healing
For many dedicated athletes and high-achievers, an injury or major setback can feel like a devastating loss of purpose and control. We become fixated on the one thing we can’t do, rather than the limitless potential of what we can do.
In this deeply personal and strategic episode, Heidi shares her expert method for transforming injury—or any failure—into a profound opportunity for growth. Drawing on her own experience coming back from a hip fracture, she breaks down the 5 essential pillars that allow you to shift from a stressful recovery to a strategic "Healing Block."
This is an intentional guide to rebuilding from the inside out, reducing inflammation, recalibrating your nervous system, and acquiring new skills that will make you a stronger, more resilient human being when you return to your sport.
Learn why the key to healing is letting go of control and giving your body the nourishing environment it needs to thrive.
