Finding Comfort in the Discomfort: Amanda Loewen's Rise to Jiu-Jitsu Mastery and Beyond
Description
Sometimes life throws you onto an unexpected path that leads to personal greatness—just ask Amanda Loewen, Oregon's first female third-degree Jiu-Jitsu black belt. On the Bamboo Lab podcast, we had the honor of chatting with Amanda about her extraordinary journey from horseback trails to the disciplined mats where she mastered the art of submission wrestling. As she shared her story, I was reminded of the power of timing and how the universe has a way of aligning things perfectly when we least expect it.
This episode is a treasure trove of life lessons as Amanda opens up about the transitions that have shaped her, including the tough decision to seek healthier environments and relationships. Her resilience in overcoming challenging obstacles is not just inspiring; it's a profound reminder of the importance of trusting the process. We also delve into the importance of self-worth, the humbling experiences of competition, and how teaching others can amplify our own growth and understanding.
Amanda's insights extend far beyond the Jiu-Jitsu mat. They include the courage to pursue one's passions, the value of therapy, and why it's crucial to listen to those who have walked before us. As she gears up for her next chapter as a sheriff's deputy and plans to open her own 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu studio, Amanda exemplifies that it's never too late for new challenges. So, join the conversation, share your thoughts, and let's continue inspiring each other to reach for our personal best, just as Amanda does every day.
