On 21 February 2018, Lola suffers a severe concussion on the eve of the Düsseldorf Grand Slam while training for the 2020 Summer Olympics - an injury that leads to a complete interruption of her athletic activities and prevents her from competing for the next three and a half years.

What starts out as an occasional hobby, which combines perfectly with the hectic pace required by high-performance sport, eventually turns into a more serious activity that leads Lola to finalize her first novel entitled Ceinture blanche, which tells the story of a young girl's journey to become a champion.

[4] With this work, Lola participates in the writing competition of the Laure Nobels Foundation and receives the Young Public Brabant Wallon prize[13][14] on 7 October 2018 at the Castle of La Hulpe.

[19] During this event, Lola meets Jean-François Lenvain, former head of the social and educational unit of the Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht, initiator of the projects Tous à bord and Give and Take that support athletes.

On the occasion of International Women's Day, 8 March 2021, Lola launches with her judoka colleague and activist Charline Van Snick the #BalanceTonSport movement,[6] a continuation of #BalanceYourPorc to denounce sexist behaviors in sport.
