  241: How We Decided to Grow Our Family Again — The Power of Control and Perspective in Motherhood

  Aug 5, 202648 min

  In this episode, I'm sharing one of my most personal stories: my journey through pregnancy, birth, and the lessons that have shaped me as both a mother and a coach. I reflect on what it was like deciding to grow our family after a challenging postpartum experience, and how those experiences influenced the way I approached my next pregnancy and birth. We talk about the importance of self-advocacy, finding the right support system, and recognizing what we can and can't control throughout motherhood. This conversation also explores the emotional side of pregnancy, identity, body image, and healing. I share how my perspective has evolved over the years and why I believe growth often comes from learning to trust ourselves, embrace change, and let go of perfection. Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, considering another child, or simply navigating a new season of motherhood, I hope this episode reminds you that your experience is your own and that there is strength in finding the path that feels right for you.

  240: Building Battles Jiu Jitsu: How the First 6 Months is Going

  Jul 29, 202627 min

  In this episode, Jared and I pull back the curtain on what it's really been like to build Battles Jiu Jitsu from the ground up. We reflect on the first several months of opening our gym, the challenges we've navigated, and the values that have shaped every decision we've made along the way. More than building a successful business, our goal has always been to create a place where people of all ages feel welcome, supported, and excited to learn. We talk about why community matters more than numbers, how culture influences everything from member retention to personal growth, and why we believe jiu jitsu offers so much more than physical training. It's a place to build confidence, resilience, humility, and meaningful relationships that extend far beyond the mats. Whether you're a parent, coach, athlete, or someone considering stepping into a martial arts gym for the first time, I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse into what we're building and why we believe jiu jitsu can be a lifelong gift for individuals and families alike.

  239: Rebuilding Athleticism Postpartum: A Systemic Perspective with Lara Morgan Lee, MD

  Jul 22, 20261h 2m

  In today's episode, I sat down with Lara Morgan Lee, MD, a board-certified sports medicine physician and former team doctor for elite professional and collegiate athletes, to talk about what happens when we apply a sports medicine approach to motherhood. We dive into the gaps that still exist in postpartum healthcare and why returning to function requires more than a six-week clearance. Dr. Morgan shares why the same principles we use to rehabilitate and support athletes—structured progressions, coaching, and multidisciplinary care—need to be part of the conversation for moms, too. This conversation is a reminder that supporting mothers can't fall on one coach, clinician, or provider. It takes collaboration and a willingness to rethink the way we approach maternal health and athletic performance.

  238: The Building Blocks of Raising Athletic Kids

  Jul 15, 202648 min

  In this solo episode, I'm sharing my perspective as a coach, lifelong athlete, and mom raising two athletic boys. My goal isn't to raise Division I or professional athletes. It's to help my kids build a foundation for a lifetime of athleticism. I talk about why I believe in exposing kids to multiple sports, developing fundamental movement skills, and giving them opportunities to learn how to move, compete, and interact with different coaches and teammates. We also get into the bigger lessons sport can teach: resilience, bravery, teamwork, body awareness, and how to navigate hard things. This isn't about forcing a specific athletic outcome. It's about helping our kids build confidence, competence, and a positive relationship with movement that can carry them throughout their lives. If you're raising athletic kids or navigating the world of youth sports, I hope this episode gives you a broader perspective on what we're really trying to build for the long term.
