#287: In this episode, I sit down with professional tennis player and founder of Doc & Glo, Sloane Stephens, to discuss the mental and physical toll of constantly being “on,” both on the court and in the public eye.
Sloane shares how she navigates high-pressure moments, sets boundaries with social media, and applies the lessons learned from her athletic career like resilience, energy management, and knowing when to pivot.
We also talk about…
- Sloane’s journey from athlete to founder of the self-care brand, Doc & Glo

- How to practice mental toughness and handle pressure, criticism, and high-stakes competition
- Balancing performance with personal well-being as an athlete
