Tennis pro turned comedy star Hannah Berner reveals how walking away from her lifelong tennis career and later being fired from reality TV ultimately led to her greatest success. She shares powerful insights on recognizing when your body is signaling it’s time to move on, why jealousy can reveal your true desires, and how to trust your intuition even when it feels like anxiety. Discover Hannah’s philosophy on finding your authentic path by moving toward what brings you calm rather than chasing the stress of environments where you don’t belong.
