Just got off the most profound 90 minutes with my founding TTC ladies, and I am over the 🌕

We stayed for an hour and a half because once we started talking about the 80% of tennis that happens between the points, none of us wanted to leave.

These women are so accomplished. So smart. And there we are, obsessed with one little yellow ball 🎾because what we’re really practicing is how to rewire our brains.

Tennis is the most perfect canvas for reinvention I’ve ever found.

Every time you step on the court, you get to decide who are you going to be!!

Who comes out on the court when you change the story? You will be so surprised.

If you love tennis and you love mindset work, The Tennis Tea Club is where us women are building this together.

You’ll leave every call profoundly moved. I promise.

Comment CLUB if this speaks to you.
🎾🙌❤️

My idea of relaxation usually involves a little yellow ball and a lot of cortisol, because I like to win. (And secretly I think I am apparently addicted to stress.)

But today, on Mother’s Day - I used my “big girl words” and asked for what I really wanted - and I got it!

A clean, tidy backyard

And now I’m sitting outside, relaxing by the pool, working (b/c I love it - b/c what else would I do lololol)…. Enjoying the view. Grateful for all that we have created.

Here’s the thing…I love to cook
It’s my love language.
It’s my form of art.

I love to be busy.
I love taking care of ALL THE THINGS

My worth was for many years tied up in my productivity level…and now…..

Perimenopause is settling in and I am questioning EVERYTHING!

It’s not even a question - it’s just a….

Flagrant Foul.
Yellow card
Red card.
Disqualified.

At my core….
I am an over achiever
I am an over producer
I love projects
I can’t sit still

I’m kind of done with that way of life. The “outdated” version of me

I am gonna try to chill TF out so I don’t torch the world around me….and I can enjoy this new phase. This new beginning ❤️💋🙏

Picking up a racket at 40 was literally one of the best and smartest things I’ve ever done.

It’s given me so much!!!🤗

How could I ever repay this beautiful, glorious sport?

I’m thankful beyond measure.

❤️🎾❤️

It’s why I teach what I do! Because I want in ingrained in my body….

I am absolutely obsessed with tennis and the mental game.

When it all clicks, there’s not a feeling like it in the world.

What used to freak me out, didn’t phase me today
I have never felt so confident and calm as today

And I’ve literally been a mess the past 3 games - in my head, drop in confidence, mind spiralling….and I keep putting in the work. Everyday I work on my mindset.

And then one day (today!), it all clicks.

Doesn’t mean it will be like this every match but it sure makes me feel good to have felt so confident, chill, I knew what to say to my partner I had never met before, and together we played like we’ve been playing together for years..

It was pure and sheer joy. Even if we had lost….I would have been proud of the dynamics.

We had great communication. Super encouraging on both parts. No pressure. Even when we lost our serves and made stupid mistakes.

The vibe was chill and the proof is - we won 7-5, and 6-2….By the 2nd we were rolling....

I love this work and I want you to have the same feeling!

And you can!!!

It just takes understanding why we do what we do, then we can change it!

And get the results we desire!

Try it!
Let me know how it goes!

Tennis helps me understand who I am
It brings up triggers that need to be looked at and healed

Sometimes it’s high school petty wounding that you would think should no longer exist at 51.

Tennis challenges me in the best ways.

It also makes me feel so happy, and high!

I can get into flow state…and I can experience bliss

And the next moment, I’m in my head, questioning my existence on the court..

Tennis is my therapy
It also sends me to therapy🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thankfully my therapist plays tennis so she gets it too.

It keeps me showing up

It inspires me to be a better human being
On and off the court.

It shows me how I need to improve my thinking….

What needs work…
It’s mindset on crack and I love it so much.

Tennis is my playground

Where I am allowed to feel like a kid again.
Where playtime is the only class in session

And the more fun you have, the better you play!

Tennis is life. Period. Amen. It’s kind of my church 🙏

When I started playing USTA at 40, I thought the only thing standing between me and better tennis was a better forehand.

I was so wrong!!!

What was actually happening, every time the score got tight - was a full nervous system takeover I had no idea about.

My breath got shallow. My inner voice got mean. I started protecting leads instead of playing points.

And the “I never win tiebreaks” story I told myself became the tiebreaks I never won.

Nobody teaches rec league women this stuff. So I had to learn it the hard way.

Save this for the next time you’re at 5-5 and your brain feels like it’s leaving the building. 🎾

What’s the story YOU tell yourself when the score gets tight?
