Are you a woman in your late 30s early 40s who has undergone a break up or a big life move lately, and are looking for a way to reinvent yourself - and hopefully come out even stronger than before? 

Maybe finding something that gets you out of your head, and into your body would help.

At the age of 36, Laura had just moved back to the United States, and was planning on starting a new life in San Diego with her fiance. 


But then she got dumped out of the blue, and all of those plans went out the window. 


Looking for something to distract her, she decided to sign up for a local Jiu Jitsu class. 


Walking into that academy for the first time, she had no idea:


1. How HARD it would be at first, and…

2. How much Jiu Jitsu would end up changing her life. 


Now she hosts the podcast BJJ Babes, and encourages other women who train (or want to get started) in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 



In this episode you'll hear about:


➜What it was like to get broken up with, right after making a big international move. 

➜How doing martial arts helped her take her power back. 

➜What it’s like to train as a woman in a male dominated sport. 

➜How women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s are getting into Jiu Jitsu. 

➜Deciding to start a podcast around her passion, even though she had no idea how to do it. 


And more! 


No matter your age or where you are in your life: There are always more opportunities than you realize to reinvent yourself and live the life you want!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
