What's up, Brittany? What's going on? I'm chilling. I'm chilling. Yeah. You're always chilling. I mean, I think it's kind of like the East Coast thing in me. Yeah. Like, I'm just laid back. People think I'm from Cali because of the way I dress. Yeah. Then I open my mouth, and they're like... We're from the East. From the East Coast. Yes.
I wouldn't have thought New York. I honestly would have thought Cali, too. Really? But I might be a little biased because that's where I saw you at.
Okay.
Okay.
What's your intention? Gratitude. For sure. Why?
It's crazy you bring that up because that kind of set that intention a little bit before the new year to basically show gratitude and give myself grace for like where I am. Like, you know, the whole saying, be where your feet are. I think gratitude allows me to stay there.
Sometimes I can get a little spread out with what's not happening and I'm not realizing that what is happening is what's best for me right now. So for me, it's gratitude for sure. Just being able to tell people like, hey, I appreciate you. Or, you know what, God, I'm thankful that I am where I am right now.
And, yes, I might not be where I want to be, but I'm grateful for what I have and, you know, and focus on that and not what I don't have.
Yeah, for me, I had a pretty rough season last year. My foot, just getting back to it and then getting hurt again and sitting out longer. It was one of those things where I just wanted to... take the time to like get myself right. And I don't think it was the physical that was most like hard for me. It was the emotional, was the spiritual, was the mental.
Like, I feel like as an athlete going into my ninth year, the physical is not, that's the easiest part of my job. I think now it's getting into that. Okay. When things aren't going right with my body, like how do I emotionally respond? How do I physically respond? It's okay. But
The emotional and the spiritual, that's the parts where I'm starting to realize going into that, you know, that part of my career is like, hey, that's the part where I need to be most consistent at because I've dominated the physical. Like, it's like, what can I do to prolong my career another nine, another 10 years? And I feel like it's going to be in that aspects and those.
Yes. Oh, my gosh.
I think just it could be scary with unknown. You know, like and I used to be a person who become very fearful or like hesitant when I don't know what's going on. And that's where faith comes in. And I believe that Washington took the proper steps to put who they put in the positions that we have now with our GM and Jamila, our head coach and Sidney Johnson. Like, I love them both.
I got to sit down with them a couple of times out here in Miami. And, you know, I think that we're headed in the right direction. Things get bad, but usually when things get bad, that means it's right around the corner from turning a new leaf. And things got to get ugly sometimes. And for us, that's what happened last season, and it is what it is.
But I will say, throughout all of that, though, we stayed together. Nobody kind of pointed fingers. It was never none of that. It was just like, all right, y'all, we just got to figure this out together kind of thing. So I can be grateful for that.
I mean, all of them. Honestly, I can't really pick one person on the team. I will say one person that I was like, oh, man, like I'm actually glad we get to be teammates. It's probably Lexi.
Like, you know, she's I'm I'm very observant person. And it's like Lexi was always on Indiana. She did her job. She harassed me when she had to guard me. Like so it was pretty cool just to like. you know, just talk to her and communicate with her without being opponents. Right.
And it's always like, I'm coming for blood when I see you, and now we sit next to each other in the locker and we cracking up.
Yeah.
For sure.
