Ep. 58 Stephanie Reece: From Tennis Star to Survivor’s Strength
It can be hard to believe someone who tells you that you’re the strongest person they know. But Stephanie Reece always knew she was strong because she was an athlete. She became one of the most successful tennis players at Indiana University and was a five time All-American athlete. Stephanie eventually entered IU’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Professionally, she competed at the French Open, US Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon.
However, her strength was put to the test when she received a call from her children's school saying they had not shown up. She soon discovered that her ex-husband had murdered her two children before committing suicide. In this episode of Flip Your Script, Stephanie shares how she is overcoming her grief and honoring her children, Harrison and Shelby.
