Getting Choked Out for Personal Growth

Taylor Hedden Episode 65

#65: I’ve been on a kick lately (literally)—because somehow, I signed myself up for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And let me tell you, nothing humbles you faster than getting choked out by a 13-year-old.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into:
→ Why I decided to start rolling around on gym mats with strangers and how it’s shifting my mindset (spoiler: it’s more than just learning how to choke someone out)
→ The real reason setting medium goals is keeping you stuck (yes, I said it)
→ How pushing through discomfort in one area of life makes everything else feel easier
→ That one time I accidentally became known as a cat killer (listen, I can explain)

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode might be the push you need to do something that actually challenges you. Because growth happens when you’re willing to be bad at something first.
