We bring that big energy on the mats, and we are tougher than nails, but this week I'm going to refill your tank with guided affirmations. I know they can be "cheesy" but I can also promise that after these 11 minutes together you will feel uplifted and encouraged. Give it a try!

Hair. It's how we portray our personality, our sense of style, and our phase of life. Jiu Jitsu can wreak havoc on hair. As a former hair stylist, I am giving you several hair care tips to keep your mane flowing and fierce.

Thanks so much for your questions! Today let's have a chat among BJJ besties where we talk about things ladies in the sport ask each other. How do you process class techniques? How do I encourage a woman in my class to roll if she is scared? How do I make sure someone in class doesn't feel singled out?

I had a LOT to say today about life lessons that weave back and forth between Jiu Jitsu and life off the mats. Expanding on last week, this sport has the ability to change who we are over time. The longer I have sat at this table, the more I understand the bigger picture of what that means.

I'll share openly the lessons I have learned and why you need to shut down the game of comparison.

"Don't be greedy!" I was so confused when this was suggested for me to improve my game at white belt. Learning to go from A to B to C instead of from A to C was actually solid advice for an older, smaller, less athletic person such as myself.

Today I will explain why to consider working from top half guard and how to begin.

Do you put in work outside of Jiu Jitsu? I have done many things to improve my odds. Working out with the older crowd was not in my plans, but my self-care would not be on point without it!

Let's chat! I'm sharing a story you will relate to at some point if you don't already, followed by some tips on what's working for me these days outside the gym.
