In this episode of The Midlife Mount, we ditch the usual serious talk and dive into a hilarious game of “Would You Rather?” with a twist — midlife struggles meet Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu madness. From choosing between sleep and sweeps, to deciding if you’d rather get mounted on the mats or get mom-shamed off them, we tackle the tough (and sometimes ridiculous) questions that only grapplers in midlife can relate to. Expect laughs, honest stories, and maybe a few questionable choices — because sometimes, life’s about picking the lesser of two weird evils.

In this episode of The Midlife Mount, we explore why strength isn’t everything in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and how being a woman on the mats comes with both challenges and hidden advantages. From getting stuck under training partners twice our size to discovering the power of clean technique and leverage, we share the real-life experiences that make rolling as a midlife woman unique. Whether you’re just starting your BJJ journey or you’re a seasoned grappler, this episode will remind you that with patience, strategy, and technique, you can hold your own against anyone.

In this episode, we’re getting real about sportsmanship—on the mat, at competitions, and in your team culture. From over-celebrating to disappearing after a loss, we talk about how to support your teammates, check your ego, and build a community you’re proud to be part of.
