#18 Heather Raftery
Today I have had the great pleasure of being able to sit down to speak with the amazing Heather Raftery! Heather is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under André Galvão, and trains out of Tucson, Arizona USA. In this episode we discuss a lot of different topics, from her childhood of ‘cutting’ horses with her father and competing at cutting horse competitions, to training at the highest levels at Atos in San Diego. Again, if there’s someone you think I should reach out to, or if there’s any issues you’re experiencing with this revised format, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me. And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#17 Averi Clements
Today I have had the immense pleasure of sitting down to speak with the wonderful Averi Clements! Avery is a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training out of Adelaide, Australia, and is currently an author for the Jiu Jitsu Times. In this episode we discuss a lot of different topics, from starting in jiu jitsu, barriers women experience, inclusion within the sport, and some of Averi’s past. A quick note, the audio is still a bit all over the place due to our mic’s sound levels being out of sync. So I recommend listening on a lower volume to start and wait for Averi to speak before adjusting, especially if you’re using headphones or earphones, and increase as necessary. Again, if there’s someone you think I should reach out to, or if there’s any issues you’re experiencing with this revised format, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me. And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#16 Jess Fraser
Today I have had the great pleasure of sitting down with the wonderful Jess Fraser! Jess is a female Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (usually) training out of Melbourne, Australia at Vanguard. In this episode, I try to cover off as much of Jess’s career as humanly possible, we talk about everything from finding the sport, to training and competing, injuries (CONTENT WARNING: There is a discussion about her bicep tear, it may cause emotional distress), coaching, and everything else that I could think of. A quick note, the audio is a bit all over the place due to 1. This being a telephone interview, and 2. Our mic’s levels being out of sync. So I recommend listening on a lower volume to start, especially if you’re using headphones or earphones, and increase as necessary. Due to the lockdown preventing me from travelling the UK for interviews with the women I want to interview here, I am taking the opportunity to speak to people that I wouldn’t normally be able to. At the outset of this venture, I was wholly against telephone interviews, but I’m thus far happy with how they’ve turned out. If there’s someone you think I should reach out to, or if there’s any issues you’re experiencing with this revised format, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me. And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#15 Fallon Fox
Today I have had the immense pleasure of sitting down with the wonderful Fallon Fox. Fallon is either best known for being a pioneering trans-woman who participated in MMA against cis-women, or as the target for Joe Rogan's flimsy and prejudiced hate speech against trans women in sports. In this episode, we talk about everything from her early years in grappling sports, to her MMA Career, and trans issues in general. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it. A quick note, the audio is a bit all over the place due to 1. This being a telephone interview, and 2. Our mic’s levels being out of sync. So I recommend listening on a lower volume to start, especially if you’re using headphones or earphones, and increase as necessary. And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#14 - Abbie O'Toole
I recently had the immense pleasure of sitting down with the wonderful Abbie O'Toole! A Purple Belt under Nick Brooks at Mill Hill, and all round lovely human being. In this episode we talk about Abbie's recent match at Grapplefest 7 against UFC Fighter Molly McCann, the hustle and bustle of her comment and message threads since, and fluffy creatures and feminism in the sport. I can't thank Abbie enough for taking the time to chat with me, and I really hope you all enjoy the podcast as much as I did making it! And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#13 - Ffion Davies
Today I had the immense fortune to sit down with the amazing Ffion Davies! A Black Belt under Darragh O’Conaill, who you may remember from her performances at World No-Gi, Brazilian Nationals, Europeans, and Dublin Open, and a sublime victory over the GOAT Bia Mesquita at ADCC! In this episode we talk about Ffion's amazing 18 months since her podcast with Dan Strauss, and topics like diet, body image, and a number of other topics! I can't thank Ffion enough for taking the time to chat with me, and I really you all enjoy the podcast as much as I did making it! And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#12 - Chelsea Leah
Today I had the great fortune to be able to sit down with the wonderful Chelsea Leah! Chelsea is a First Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under André Galvão at Atos, and has recently moved (well, two years ago...that's recent, right?) from California to Cambridge with her partner, Tom Barlow, where they have set up their own Gym, Rolling DOjo. In this podcast we talk through a number of subjects, from her early career in the sport, to opening a gym, sports in schools, and practicing Jiu Jitsu whilst pregnant. I had a great time speaking to Chelsea, and can't thank her enough for finding the time to fit me in :) I hope you all enjoy the podcast as much as I did making it! And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#11 - Sarah Louise Jones
Today I had the great fortune to sit down and talk to the lovely Sarah Jones, who is a jiu jitsu purple belt under Trevor Birmingham at Exile Gym in Shirley, Southampton. We got to speak about her hectic competition schedule early in her career, her recent medals at prestigious competitions, her recent belt promotion, and the effect her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome had on her approach to training, competing, and life in general. I really enjoyed speaking to Sarah, she'll soon be headed out to compete at the UAEJJF World Pro Masters on the 23rd of April, so I want to wish her all the heart, patience, and clarity in the world! I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I did making it! And as always, much love to you all! x ❤️ x

#06 - Sophie Newnes
This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with the wonderful Sophie Newnes to discuss all things LGBTI+ in the Jiu Jitsu, and wider martial arts, communities. It was a SUPER interesting discussion, and I'm really excited to share the conversation with you all! What I will say though is that it's very important that you all understand that whilst we are both from the LGBTI+ community, our opinions don't represent the whole community. As per the podcast, Sophie also owns and runs the Womma Sportswear brand, and does a lot of work providing free self defence classes for women, so if you're in need of some new gear, or just want to support her in general, be sure to check out her: Website: https://wommasportswear.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wommasportswear/ Instagram: @wommasportswear Twitter: @WOMMASportswear I love meeting and talking to everyone who's been lovely enough to agree to come on the podcast, but I have to admit, this was possibly my favourite discussion/conversation thus far. So I REALLY hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it. As always, the podcast itself can be found on SoundCloud and iTunes. It was a really fun and interesting chat, and I really hope you enjoy! Much love to you all x ❤️ x

#05 - Rosi Sexton
Ahoy! I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely Rosi Sexton! We covered a lot of topics, from her career in the UFC, to her work in Osteopathy. It was super nice to speak to her, this is also the first time I've conducted one of these interviews without a rigid list of questions, which I found very helpful. As per the podcast, be sure to check out Rosi's new website, combatsportsclinic.net, to get access to her new Neck Strengthening Seminar! Also, Rosi will be hosting a seminar at the Female Fighters Summer Camp in Kendal from the 24th-26th of August: https://www.facebook.com/events/188408955107986/permalink/249650952317119/ The camp also includes seminars, open mats, Strength & Conditioning sessions, and other fun activities, run by Sophie Cox, Vanessa English, and Ffion Davies, in addition to Rosi.

#04 - Melanie Doran
Ahoy! Today I got to sit down with one of the UK's most recently promoted Female Black Belts, Melanie Doran! The conversation jumped around a lot, but it was great to talk about her injuries, her recovery, and how her approach to Jiu Jitsu has been adapted to accomodate a reduced level of mobility. I really hope you enjoy!

#03 - Helen Currie
This week I was able to sit down and chat to the wonderfully inspiring Helen Currie! Helen was the UK's very first female BJJ Black Belt, and still remains one of the most active and passionate coaches around! It was an absolute pleasure to meet her, and a real honour to have my mind, body, and spirit crushed by her superior Jiu Jitsu! There are a number of issues with the recording, for which I can only apologise. I've tried to reduce the loudness of the terrible ticking, and have done my best, but it still persists. As the intro advises, please listen on low volume first if you're listening on a portable device, and adjust to the first instance of static in order to salvage your enjoyment. I love you all, and can't wait till the next!
