Five years ago I was at the peak of my game with pushing my limits performing competing and living my passion for slacklining and fire dance. It wasnt just a sport. It was my meditation & self-expression my way of proving to myself that everything is possible.

And then, everything changed in a single moment.

I broke my back while doing what I love! Getting ready for the next RedBull competition, that I won last time. The very thing that made me feel most alive took me down in the most brutal way.
Doctors told me I needed surgery. That I might never move the same way again. That I had to slow down. No more acrobatics. No more jumping. No more pushing my limits.

But deep down, I refused to accept that.
I chose a different path.
I committed to healing naturally. I surrounded myself with people who had done the impossible, studied everything I could about recovery and step by step I rebuilt myself.
What followed were three years of pain & patience and starting from zero.
Some days I felt unstoppable but other days I questioned if I ever perform again. But I never gave up.
Even when I could barely walk, I held onto one truth:

My body knows how to heal.

Slacklining never left me. But my approach changed. It wasn’t about proving my limits anymore, competing and winning - it was about moving with the line, dancing, feeling the rhythm. Not just tricks anymore, but storytelling through movement. Dancing on the line.
And then, after three years of recovery, I did what seemed impossible. I returned to performing.

The hardest part? Sending that first email. Reaching out the clients before I even had my shows ready again. But once I took action, things started to move. Suddenly, the impossible became real.

But here’s the painfulll truth: the biggest reason I still feel back pain today isn’t just the injury

it’s stress.

Not just any stress- The Financial Stress. I thought I had figured things out when I returned to showbusiness, but I am still working for money instead of making money work for me.

And that has to change. I refuse to let financial stress and uncertainty be the reason I feel pain.

I have already proven to myself that I can recover from anything 🔥
Now, it’s time to build a life where I don’t just recover - I thrive.

If you've ever had a moment where life knocked you down but you refused to stay down—drop a 🔥 in the comments.
