In this episode, I’m sharing a raw and real story from my recent performance at ADCC — not about a win, but about a loss… and why it became one of the proudest moments of my athletic journey.

Years ago, a mistake like the one I made would have shattered me. I would’ve spiraled into self-criticism, doubt, and disappointment for weeks. But what happened instead showed me just how far I’ve come — and it has everything to do with mindset.

If you’ve ever beat yourself up after a loss, struggled with fear of failure, or felt like one bad moment defined your worth as an athlete, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why fear of failure is one of the biggest traps for progress — and how to break free from it

• How I handled a high-level competition loss with confidence and compassion

• The key mindset shift that helped me smile during and after the match I lost
