172: Navigating Unsolicited Opinions: When Your Loved Ones Don't Support Your Jiu-Jitsu Journey

What do you do when you feel like your family, friends, or spouse are not supportive of you doing Jiu-Jitsu?

From concerns about injuries to doubts about our abilities and choices, we've heard it all. Whether it’s a partner who doesn't appreciate your commitment, parents who don't understand why you do Jiu-Jitsu, or friends who think it's a waste of time, we’ve got some ideas to handle these situations with grace and confidence.

We also explore the deeper reasons that sometimes hide behind the lack of support, like jealousy, or the discomfort of seeing you grow and become more confident. Recognizing that these “concerns” may stem from someone else’s insecurities or expectations is essential. 

If you've ever felt discouraged or unsupported in your Jiu-Jitsu journey, this episode is for you. We share stories of overcoming these obstacles and finding the strength to pursue what we love.

We are so happy that you are doing Jiu-Jitsu! We will be here cheering for you.

The Jiu-Jitsu podcast to keep you coming back to the mat
Beauty and the Gi is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu podcast that explores the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu and uncovers the connections between Jiu-Jitsu and life beyond the mat.
