Idk if I’ll compete again? LIFE UPDATE, faith & learning to relax in your heart
In this solo episode of Get A Grip, Kendall shares a raw life update and opens up about what has quietly been one of the hardest seasons of her life.
From questioning competition after ADCC 2022 to navigating burnout, existentialism, identity shifts, and faith… this conversation explores what happens when the thing you built your life around no longer feels the same.
🎙️ Kendall talks about:
• Why her word of the year is “relax” … but in the heart
• The difference between the “pre-conscious” vs. “post-conscious” athlete (term comes from a podcast ep. where Huberman interviews Joshua Waitzkin – that episode linked here for those interested: https://open.spotify.com/episode/06nvqDXdnYJiJd16MSod8K?si=P0YCXcoPR7ObCzQ5lInycg (https://open.spotify.com/episode/06nvqDXdnYJiJd16MSod8K?si=P0YCXcoPR7ObCzQ5lInycg)
• Coming back to Polaris on her own terms
• Why she may not compete again • Learning to stop hiding and tell the truth
• What to do when you don’t know what your mission is anymore
• How changing your mind can actually be healing
• The real reason she started a 30-day talking-on-camera challenge
• Praying for God to change her heart during difficult seasons
This episode is a permission slip for anyone in transition… the athlete, entrepreneur, creator, or high achiever trying to figure out who they are outside of performance, pressure, or expectations (often their OWN).
Sometimes growth doesn’t look like becoming “more accomplished.” Sometimes it looks like becoming more honest.

How Dark Seasons Build Greatness | Mental Toughness, Identity & Growth in Jiu Jitsu ft. Sula-Mae
In this episode of Get A Grip, Kendall sits down with elite jiu-jitsu athlete Sula-Mae Loewenthal for a conversation about identity, mental toughness, self-trust, and how life’s hardest seasons often shape who we become.
This episode explores the moments that build true resilience… from periods of darkness that eventually led to the most growth, to heartbreak, life transitions, and learning how to keep moving forward when everything familiar changes.
This conversation is for anyone building something meaningful — whether on the mats, in business, or in life — and learning how to trust themselves through uncertain seasons. Sometimes the most transformative chapters come from the messiest data, the hardest transitions, and the willingness to keep showing up before the outcome makes sense.
