On this episode of The Underwire, we’re rolling into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with my friend Kelsey Hunter!
Kelsey is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a proud blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She’s passionate about mental health, empowering women in male-dominated spaces, and sharing the lessons she’s learned on and off the mat.
In this episode, we explore:
- Kelsey’s journey into BJJ—what inspired her to try it and what made her stick with it, even when the going got tough.
- The powerful connection between physical activity and mental health, and how jiu-jitsu has helped Kelsey build resilience and emotional strength.
- How lessons from the mat influence her work as a therapist and empower her to communicate effectively in all areas of life.
- The transformative impact of community, failure, and self-discovery in BJJ.
- The three-month rule, a game-changing mindset Kelsey uses to push through the hard parts of starting something new.
Whether you’re curious about jiu-jitsu, considering a new hobby, or just looking for inspiration to tackle life’s challenges, this episode has something for you!
