This Week: A Gentle Pause

Dear Ones,

This week, I’m taking a pause from writing to spend time with my family.

But I just want to thank each of you who reads, shares, reflects, and engages with Athlete Illuminated.

Being in community with you amazing people is truly a privilege and a joy. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for your comments, DMs, and emails here and across social media this year. It’s so meaningful — and honestly so cool — to hear from you.

Wishing you a warm holiday season. May you rest, replenish, and care for yourself, and for those you love.

And as we look toward 2026, I’m sending best wishes for health, connection, and growth.

Back next week.

All the best,
Laura
