Lewis asks the question everyone avoids: what do you do when you poured your whole life into something and it didn’t work? Lindsey Vonn's answer is not cute or motivational-poster fluff. It’s the gritty reality of setbacks stacking up, the isolation of being alone with your thoughts, and the quiet fight to keep believing in yourself when the “crash, failure” moments start to feel like your identity. She talks about depression, the loneliness of life on the road, and why she started journaling daily back in 2005 so she’d have proof of who she was when things were actually going well.
The biggest takeaway is deceptively practical: build a “reference point” for your best self before you need it. Lindsey wrote down what worked, what felt good, what didn’t, and then read it later to regain confidence and visualize her way back. Pair that with her question for hard seasons, “Why am I doing this?”, and you’ve got a reset button that works for careers, relationships, and any dream that takes a few punches before it pays off.
