In this special main episode, Mallory sits down with Jenn to unravel the rollercoaster journey from white belt to brown. From fumbling through early rolls to finding her footing as a higher belt, Jenn reflects on the lessons, losses, and laughs along the way.
But purple belt? That one hit different.
Physically and emotionally, it was the hardest season of her Jiu Jitsu life—and it just so happened to coincide with major life changes off the mat.
In this conversation, Jenn opens up about discovering her autism diagnosis and how it completely reframed her understanding of herself, her learning style, and how she trains. It’s honest, vulnerable, funny, and full of “ohhh, that makes sense now” moments.
Because sometimes, growth in Jiu Jitsu has nothing to do with submissions—and everything to do with self-awareness.
