Grounded in Motion

Second Serve - Finding Grace in the Do-Over

In this episode, Dr. Renee Whynes explores the quiet power of second chances- on and off the tennis court.

The first serve is bold, fast, and fearless.  But when it misses, what comes next reveals something deeper.  The second serve asks for presence. Patience. Self-trust.

Through reflections on tennis and life, Renee shares how she's learned to breathe through the reset and find grace in the do-over. Not just in the game, but in relationships, decisions, and everyday moments where perfection gave way to growth.  

Competing with Myself in Tennis and the Fight to Stay Present

In this episode, Dr. Renee Whynes steps off the bike and onto the court to explore the internal battle that unfolds in every tennis match.

Tennis isn't about power-it's about presence.  From the quiet tension between points to the mental loop after a missed shot, Renee shares how the game has taught her focus, resilience, and how to meet herself moment by moment. 

This isn't about winning. It's about learning how to stay-especially when your mind wants to leave.

In this episode, Dr. Renee Whynes reflects on the quiet revelations found within long-distance rides. After riding multiple 100-mile routes over the past few months, she unpacks how endurance became a path to emotional release.

As the miles add up, so do the truths—about grief, forgiveness, and the power of letting go without needing closure. This episode explores how motion helps us process what words cannot, and how the road becomes a place to return to ourselves.

The solo ride: where my thoughts go when it's just me and the road

In this episode, Dr. Renee Whynes reflects on the emotional clarity that emerges during a solo ride. She explores how stillness in motion becomes a space for truth, grief, forgiveness, and ultimately, healing.

This isn't just about cycling. It's about what rises to the surface when we slow down and stay with ourselves.
