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!

MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:

Kelsey’s story is a reminder that even in life’s hardest seasons, we’re all capable of growth, connection, and learning to fight—on and off the mat. Tune in to hear how Kelsey has transformed her mindset through BJJ and what lessons you can take
