Trying to observe your life while fully in the moment sounds like it should be simple. After all, you're never anywhere but in the present moment. But for me, staying aware of the meaning of my experiences as they happen can feel like the struggle we all know of holding on to a dream as we wake up.

​I'll always be grateful that life brought Shauna and me together. Now that we're so close, I like to joke about how we spent the first six months of knowing each other just calling ourselves "training partners." We didn't even realize it at the time, but it was obvious we had become friends.

​So when we look at the reasons behind rituals, traditions, and ceremonies, they can sometimes seem frivolous. But at their core, their purpose likely all started with the need for a tool to capture reminders of life's most meaningful moments.

​Because of the ritual of belt promotions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I will always remember Shauna as the first person I ever promoted. She was my main training partner as I prepared for every major tournament I've medaled in, and she is someone I've cried with through the high and low points of life. We've helped each other to progress as people in a positive way. To me, that represents the best of what a training partner can be. Yes, a training partner can help you develop your athletic skills. But when you both want nothing but the best for each other, you build a symbiotic relationship that reaches the deeper levels of life. Thank you, Shauna, for the impact you have had on my life, and thank you for trusting me to help shape your story as well.

Silver American Nationals yesterday! I was delighted to get more fights with new women as a bonus after worlds. The women's divisions are heating up and are more competitive and wide open than ever. I have nothing but gratitude and motivation seeing this growth in our sport, and can't wait to keep the ball rolling and build on this and competing as much as I can.

Leading up to Worlds this year has been a completely new experience for me. It's the most present and grateful I've ever felt to simply be doing what I'm doing. I won my first fight by straight arm bar then went into the second to fight literally the best woman in the world for the division. The old me would have been self deprecating before the fight, but all I felt now was excitement and gratitude. I came up short in my second fight and lost via choke, which always sucks, but through that I felt nothing but energy and excitement about the direction I'm going.

When you feel so much joy being on those competition mats, your time is only a matter of time. Thank you to everyone who supports me, you all make it worth it!

I sort of accidentally started a tradition 5 years ago to start the first day of the new year in nature, no matter the weather.

I often think about how a lot of pre-made traditions in society actually make us unhappy often, so I've gotten big on breaking general traditions and making ones that are unique to me.

It can be scary to break societal norms, but I think pushing out of that comfort zone is where we all would find the life we truly want.

Adult black belt rooster weight bronze Nogi Pans 2024. I went to war and had great fights to win this medal, losing by points to the much deserved gold medalist who I have massive respect for. This is all a piece of the puzzle of making my jiu jitsu the best it can be, and I'm already moved on to worlds being the focus!

Thank you to for supporting me in preparing for this, everyone for training extra sessions whenever I wanted, my performance coach and my savage sponsor for being in my corner.
