#287: In this episode, I sit down with professional tennis player and founder of Doc & Glo, Sloane Stephens, to discuss the mental and physical toll of constantly being “on,” both on the court and in the public eye.

Sloane shares how she navigates high-pressure moments, sets boundaries with social media, and applies the lessons learned from her athletic career like resilience, energy management, and knowing when to pivot.

We also talk about…

• Sloane’s journey from athlete to founder of the self-care brand, Doc & Glo
• Why setting boundaries with social media is crucial
• How to practice mental toughness and handle pressure, criticism, and high-stakes competition
• Balancing performance with personal well-being as an athlete
• How egg freezing can empower women to take control of their personal and professional future
