On this episode of Blindsided, we welcome Taylor Townsend. Taylor has been a name in the tennis world for some time. She dominated in the junior division, achieving a Grand Slam in singles and a No. 1 world ranking. Then, at 15, she turned pro. But staying at the top was tough. Taylor opens up about depression, the journey to finding the right therapy and the mental toughness it takes to undertake a climb back to the top. This year, Taylor became a mother. And it’s safe to say her son, Adyn, is in for a treat as Taylor makes her comeback to tennis.
