Join us today on a special episode with Jennifer Tam!! Jenn & I met at the Unicorns BJJ camp last year, and a couple months later she reached out to get some rehab for her knee and hip. Jenn shares her experiences grappling (no pun intended) with her ego when she was dealing with injuries and how it taught her how to slow down, be more intentional about her body, as well as plan for longevity vs short term gain. This is her story.
