During a quick drive last week, Laura witnessed more chaos in ten minutes than she'd seen in two decades in her neighborhood, and felt that familiar ping of "is this a warning?" She employed a perspective shift she's been using for the last few years, and it's fundamentally changed the way she meets her hardest days. In this episode, she makes the case for why chaos, high-stakes moments, dreaded conversations, and the days when everything converges at once are not the thing to fear. They're the thing you've been preparing for. You'll also hear a stat about one of the greatest athletes of all time that completely reframes what it actually takes to win.

This episode covers:

• Why the days you dread are the most important days you have
• The difference between the games you see coming and the games that ambush you
• What training actually prepares you for (and why training with no performance is pointless)
• A surprising truth about how often one of the greatest tennis players of all time actually lost
• What to do when you lose one of your big games (and what never to do)
• Why you can't know what you've built until something tests it
