Genie Bouchard: Rethinking Perfection
08/05/24 • 33 min
This week, Linda has been rethinking her relationship with perfection and has invited the perfect player over for afternoon snacks. Professional tennis and pickleball player Genie Bouchard has spent her lifetime aiming for the top, and is in constant reassessment with the sacrifices and the discipline it has taken to be such a high achiever.
Linda and Genie talk through the ways they’ve learned to relax, how Genie’s life in the spotlight has made it difficult to find trust in her adult relationships... and how life is a little messy sometimes, and that’s ok.
