In this episode of Fourth and Goal, I share my personal journey through the mental challenges of being injured while still pursuing my work as a journalist. We talk about how I navigated setbacks, the support and reactions I received from my professors, and the mindset shifts that helped me stay focused. I also discuss how I’m mentally preparing for my upcoming capstone project, balancing recovery, coursework, and the pressure of producing my strongest work yet. This conversation offers an honest look at resilience, adjustment, and growth behind the scenes.
