In this episode of Mental Fitness Stories, we sit down with Nikki Taylor, former professional volleyball player, to explore the real meaning of mental fitness beyond the court. Nikki opens up about her journey through injury, recovery, and the often overlooked process of grieving the loss of an athletic identity after transitioning out of professional sports.

We discuss the power of inner dialogue, the mental toll of physical setbacks, and how redefining strength and self-worth played a key role in her healing. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or navigating a major life transition, Nikki's story offers honest insight and hope for anyone learning to rebuild from the inside out.
