57. From Mat Time to Marital Bliss: Rach Does America
Description
In this episode of The Gi Spot, Kaz turns the mic toward Rach for a full debrief of her recent trip across the Pacific—a whirlwind journey of sweat, sentiment, and celebration. From mat time with old friends and new training partners, to heartwarming reunions with family, to marking 20 years of marriage to Grant with a milestone anniversary, this one’s a ride through memory, muscle, and meaning.
Rach reflects on what it’s like to step into unfamiliar gyms with black belt experience but beginner’s curiosity, the joy of being present with family after time and distance, and what 20 years of love (and leg locks) really teaches you. Expect laughs, insights, and a few emotional punches to the sternum—in the most loving way.
This episode is part travelogue, part BJJ culture check, and part love letter to the life that BJJ helped build. Grab a coffee, a tissue, or a gi—whatever you need to join in.
