In this episode of Get A Grip, Kendall sits down with elite jiu-jitsu athlete Sula-Mae Loewenthal for a conversation about identity, mental toughness, self-trust, and how life’s hardest seasons often shape who we become.
This episode explores the moments that build true resilience… from periods of darkness that eventually led to the most growth, to heartbreak, life transitions, and learning how to keep moving forward when everything familiar changes.
This conversation is for anyone building something meaningful — whether on the mats, in business, or in life — and learning how to trust themselves through uncertain seasons. Sometimes the most transformative chapters come from the messiest data, the hardest transitions, and the willingness to keep showing up before the outcome makes sense.
