What if you approached each day knowing it could be the last time doing the things you love? In this heartfelt episode, I explore the philosophy of Memento Mori — a reminder of life’s impermanence — and how it’s helped me find renewed purpose and joy in our sport. Through injuries, surgeries, and soul-searching, I found myself not where I expected to be — but exactly where I needed to be. This is a story about bonus time, second chances, and reconnecting with what lights you up inside.If you’re navigating change, loss, or simply trying to be more present in your life, this episode is a reminder to slow down, pay attention, and savor what you have… while you still have it.Photo by Meagen Kopacki - PhotographerPodcast logo by Liz Mac IntyreWould you like to sponsor this podcast and get your message out to our very smart and cool roller derby audience?
