UNCUT: Andrea Petković – learning to let go

What happens when we have to say goodbye to something that’s been all we’ve ever known? Change can be good, but learning to let go of something familiar – whether that’s a job, a hobby or a way of life – can be difficult to navigate.As Andrea Petković knows full well, moving on from her life in professional tennis came with significant challenges, including a loss of identity and the need to find a new passion to fill the void.Professional athletes are not the only individuals to face this challenge. It’s something that eventually everyone will encounter, whether this is transitioning from school to work life, starting a different job or stopping work altogether.In a very honest chat with host Cédric, Andrea talks about how she went through a period of lying to herself before retiring from her professional tennis career in 2022. She also opens up about the grief she had to deal with, and how she learned to take control of the circumstances.Do you have feedback for us, or simply just want to chat?
