Have you ever thought it was too late to start something new? Meet Stephanie, who picked up a tennis racket for the first time at 56 and hasn't looked back since. This episode is brimming with inspiration as Stephanie recounts her transition from a dedicated tennis mom to an active participant on the court. With her children grown and an empty nest, she turned to tennis not just to fill her time, but to join in on her family's beloved pastime. Stephanie's story will make you think twice about the limitations you set for yourself, proving that passion and determination can overcome any age barrier.

Stephanie candidly discusses the learning curve and physical challenges of taking up tennis later in life, including how she mastered her now-favorite backhand slice after a wrist injury. Despite playing mostly with younger women, she pushed herself to improve and found a community that enriched her life in more ways than she imagined. Listen as she shares the mental and physical benefits she’s gained, the friendships formed, and her relentless drive to keep up with the competition. Stephanie's journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to pursue a new challenge and reap the rewards of persistence and hard work.
