During the last few months of my pregnancy, in early 2022, I couldn't wait for my maternity leave. I was obviously eager to spend time with my first born in what I'd heard other new parents refer to as "the love bubble". I had some friends with small children that I could get coffee with (or, let's face it, wine) and I planned to attack the baby sensory groups with all the gusto of a girlboss in a nursing bra.

It’s been exactly twelve days since the first Grand Slam tournament of the year ended. Twelve long days. But who’s counting? I had just nestled into my seat, mentally and emotionally prepared for a ten-hour flight, the airplane had just begun its nerve-wrecking droning sound when a familiar feeling hit me. One I thought I had left behind with my retirement from professional tennis. It was a whiff of sadness, just a tinge, a light shade at the periphery of my vision.
