Laura opens up with her fears of starting to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, let's see whether we can get her on the mats as this show airs! She talks about her fears of getting into a BJJ gym and her journey through sobriety to confidence in sparring with other women in Muay Thai.

We talk about choosing a jiu jitsu gym, what it's like to train in the Gi or No Gi, and Lou offers lots of analogies about BJJ, life and fashion. Have a listen and enjoy, especially if you've not yet started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Lou does seem to be on a Blue Belt high during this episode, as she's recently been promoted!
