211: Jiu-Jitsu Got You Feeling Down?

Beauty and the Gi: Gripping Conversations about Jiu-Jitsu and Life

Feeling like you're trapped under a mountain of pressure both on and off the mats? Ever wondered what to do when you're wrestling with exhaustion, frustration, and a whirlwind of self-doubt?

We’re here to help you navigate those rollercoaster days when Jiu-Jitsu imitates life just a little too well.

Imagine walking into a class, already battling the heavyweight pressures of life, only to face the physical might of super heavyweights on the mats. Do you tap out, or do you find a way to roll through it?

How do you leave the baggage at the door and make Jiu-Jitsu your enchanting two-hour vacation from life? We've got practical tools for reframing mindsets, energizing playlists to build you up, and maybe even some tips for crying it out mid-roll.

This episode has something for everyone grappling with the ups and downs of Jiu-Jitsu.
