And like, if we would have had one more day of world championships, I think just mentally from convincing myself that I can do it so many times and you're fine, twisting, twisting. I think I would have just broke down and been like, I just can't like, mentally I couldn't do it anymore. Not physically, I think physically I would have been able to do it.
But if there were one more day of worlds, I wouldn't have done it.
It was kind of funny because the conversation didn't go how I thought it was going to go. Oh, okay. And so I think I requested a meeting or whatever with Cecile and Laurent, and we ended up at their house and brought my husband, you know, my little blankie. And I was like, okay, I want to go back to the Olympics. I want to do this.
And they're sitting across the table, and they look at me, and they're like, no. And I was like, ah! I just told you I want to go to the Olympics. Like, I want to go back to the Olympics.
And they were like, no. And I was like, what's happening? I'm like, what is going on? And they were like, no, you've set expectations for yourself for so long. Let's just go back in the gym, get in shape. And see what happens and I was like, so we're not going to the Olympics We're not training for the Olympics.
Yeah That was really weird to me because I thought they were gonna be on boards like yes We have the process laid out that it's gone and they they just said no and I was like Hmm. Do I get new coaches? What's going to happen? and I was like Oh, you're right. And he was like, let's not just think about the Olympics right now.
Let's think about maybe getting your skills back, twisting comfortably again, doing this. And I was like, oh, those things? Oh, okay, fine. Yeah. But then can we go to the Olympics? Yes. And that's kind of how we started it. And then I didn't think I was competing at Classics last year. And he was like, yeah, you're competing. Here's your Leos. Here's this. Here's that. I was like, what?
If all goes well, I'm training. Yeah.
I think just working on my mind and my body more than I have, or continuing to work on my body and my mind, just like I have the past year and a half, and it's worked, and so to just stay on top of that. It's exhausting, but I have to do it. It's working. I didn't think therapy was going to work, and it's working.
And you're not going to open up. You're not going to talk. You're not going to be vulnerable. You're not going to let those demons out. So it worked out for the better.
I would say to keep up with my therapy even on those hard days because I have dodged a couple of those sessions.
And sometimes it's like exhausting. I just feel like a record on repeat. And again, it goes back to like, I feel like I should be healed by now.
No, 100%. And I agree. And I think I've learned that with my therapy over the years. So I am very grateful that I'm in therapy and thankful for the resources we have because before this, like no athlete was very outspoken about doing therapy or this, that, the other, or even just getting help.
So we are in a very fortunate situation that we're able to do that and we're allowed to be vulnerable physically. with our fans and with our community. So I guess I just want to say thank you to them too, because without them, we wouldn't be able to do what we do, so.
I think... First of all, boys are so different from girls because we're picking the cutest backgrounds, the most aesthetically looking pictures. And I wanted him to see, I didn't want to really show that I was a gymnast, so I didn't want to put a gymnastic-y picture in there unless he had to click on my Instagram and then see I was a gymnast. So I didn't want that to be the first impression.
So I was like, okay, face, not that much makeup, this, that, the other. But what stood out on his profile was just like, he seemed so charismatic. He had these little dimples, you know, the light eyes. And I was like, oh, he's so cute. And I think he had his bulldog on there. I was like, he has a dog. This is so cute.
To me, if he had a dog, that meant he was responsible. I love that you think that is the first thing.
But listen, then I went to his profile and I didn't know it was his nephew. And I was like, he has a kid. Oh no. You thought he had a kid? I thought he had a kid. But then, you know, my soccer skills, our soccer skills.
You.
Actually, and this is so cliche because everybody says this, but like the first time I met him, I came home from our little date and stuff, and my friends were at my house, and I was like, I'm gonna marry him. Who says that? I don't know why I said that. I don't know what it is, but I just felt something. It just felt different. Like the energy? The energy, how well we got along.
