Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the fiftieth episode into the binge-able Past to Present Series.

“Sometimes it will take something devastating and heartbreaking to guide you to your actual purpose. Things may feel foreign after you’ve practiced it routinely day in and day out. Sometimes the spins will become memories to cherish. Sometimes the song you practiced to every time for your competition will remind you that you’ve still got it — that ambitious drive. It may not be that ice skating rink you practiced on, but it’ll be the reminder you need to pick yourself up after your long and hard days. After all, the real performance isn’t on the ice."

In Episode 50 on On The Grow, I talk about my 5-year run with my oldest favorite sport — figure skating. I talk about my figure skating ambitions, that mentality of striving for more, what those years taught me and how it applies to where I am now, and how my figure skating goals to be the next Michelle Kwan came to an end.
