#256: When the plan breaks (and how that changes who you are now)

Injury, forced downtime, and disrupted plans don’t just interrupt training — they disrupt identity. And while we celebrate comebacks, we rarely talk about the in-between: the phase where the old plan no longer fits, and the next version of you isn’t clear yet.

In this episode, I talk about what actually happens in that space, why “just focus on coming back” often falls flat, and how elite performers navigate identity shifts after setbacks. We’ll explore why you don’t need to know who you’ll be on the other side — only that this phase is building strength you can’t access any other way.

If you’re in a season where things don’t look like you expected, this episode will help you re-orient without rushing yourself.
