Education:Self-Improvement
In this episode of The Midlife Mount, we’re recapping our experience at the Houston Open — the nerves, the wins, the tough moments, and everything in between.
We’re joined by our badass teammates Chavez and Jessa, who also stepped onto the competition mats and are here to share their stories. From mindset shifts to raw post-match reflections, we get real about what it’s like to compete as midlife women in a young, intense sport.
In this episode:
Taking lessons from losses
Celebrating small victories
The power of teammate support
What’s next on our BJJ journey
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just BJJ-curious, this episode is packed with heart, honesty, and a few laughs.
