EPP- Meet Olivia (Competing)

In this episode of Emily’s Pajama Party, I sit down with my friend Olivia, a dedicated jiujitsu athlete who’s been training for three years and is already an avid competitor. Olivia opens up about what drives her to compete, how stepping onto the competition mats has built her confidence, and the lessons she’s learned through both victory and defeat.

We talk about how competition can fuel personal growth, strengthen mental resilience, and deepen your connection to training — even when things get tough. Her story is a reminder that pushing past fear can uncover a whole new level of strength, both physically and mentally.
