Knee Replacement Recovery Timeline: Why Faith Over Fear Changes Everything

What do leaving a 9–5 career and going through knee replacement recovery have in common? More than you think.

In this episode, I open up about the one-year anniversary of stepping away from corporate life and how it mirrors the process of healing after knee surgery. Both take you straight into what is called the God Zone—the space where the future feels uncertain, fear wants to take over, and only God can see the full picture.

We’ll talk about:

• Why your brain defaults to worst-case scenarios during recovery (and how to take back control).

• The powerful shift that happens when you put your knee replacement recovery in the God Zone.

• How faith over fear changes not just your healing timeline, but the way you live your life.

• The parallels between my own year of uncertainty after corporate work and the ups and downs of post-op recovery.

Oh—and fair warning… somewhere in this episode I kept saying “paper clip” when I meant “paper cut.” 🤦‍♀️ Proof that there’s a real human on the other side of the mic (and that recovery, like life, is a little messy).

Whether you’re weeks out from surgery or staring down an unknown future, this conversation will encourage you to stop rehearsing disaster and start imagining what’s possible.
