#133 | Cindy Hales - Sleeper Jiu-Jitsu

Setting your aim might be an effective way to pull yourself out of the depths of your suffering and into the heights of something rewarding. 


Cindy Hales is an entrepreneur, the lead teacher at Sleeper Jiu-Jitsu, part of the Women’s Dirty Dozen(the first 12 female black belts outside of Brazil.), and host of The Cindy Hales Show

She has recently won the Masters 4 division of IBJJF Pans American Jiu-Jitsu tournament.

In this episode, we talk about Cindy’s Jiu-Jitsu training during Covid-19, her preparation for Pans, how to turn hardship into an opportunity for growth, focusing on the things we can control in our lives, systems thinking and working with our individual challenges. Cindy and I also talked about what it is like to raise her dog, Matty. I love getting to talk with somebody who has spent so many years learning a discipline.
