Two years ago, in the midst of planning a big online event with "getting outside your comfort zone" as a theme, I found myself with an interesting realization: even though I was extolling the virtues of getting outside your comfort zone, it had been a long time since I had followed that exact advice. At the risk of sounding hypocritical, I decided to look around for something to challenge me. I settled on trying a new sport, Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In this episode, I'm talking through why I joined, why I really appreciate jiu-jitsu, and what it's taught me. I'm also sharing seven things I wish I knew before I started...little lessons that I had to learn the hard way. In particular, I'm sharing some things about about Brazilian jiu-jitsu from a female perspective that may help other women who are thinking of joining.  Remember to find the show notes and other episodes on StephGaudreau.com On this episode: The advice I finally took for myself  Why I love Brazilian jiu-jitsu  7 things I wish I knew before starting BJJ Resources from this episode: 50 Epic Tips for Getting Outside Your Comfort Zone Harder to Kill Club Follow Steph on: Instagram| Facebook | Pinterest | YouTube | Twitter I'd really love it if you would take 10 seconds and subscribe to the podcast!
