This is the ideal episode for anyone struggling with an injury or going through a tough time in life. In a bit of a shift from her usual performance-centric books, Coach Liz Waterstraat tells host Sarah Bowen Shea about The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans by Maya Shankar. As part of the conversation, the host duo talks about the power of awe and its ability to get you out of your own head—a joyous phenomenon that can happen during a run, ride, or game. Coach Liz wisely suggestions ways to reframe a post-injury period. And she details a resonate garden metaphor from the book.
