Episode 23: The Mental Load of Injury – When You Can’t Train Like You Used To

Between the lines with Laura and Jade - Introduction and Perfectionsim

In this vulnerable and important episode, we talk about the mental and emotional toll of being injured—especially when training is such a big part of who we are.

We dive into the identity shift that happens when you’re no longer the “strong” or “active” one, and how loss of routine, fear of falling behind, and the constant comparison trap can impact your motivation and self-worth.

From the frustration of slow recovery to the isolation that can creep in when you’re not moving with your community, we unpack what injury really feels like—not just in the body, but in the mind.

We also explore the opportunity hidden in the pause—a chance to work on the things we usually neglect, to practice patience, build resilience, and learn to show up differently.

💭 If you’ve ever struggled through injury, or are navigating it now, this one’s for you. You’re not alone—and this isn’t the end of your journey.
