You go with friends and then allowing yourself to sort of fall into it is incredible.

Yes, trying.

Yes, trying.

It's been a skill that's been honed over time.

Well, first of all, I love the way I came to it. It was my daughter. I think I told you this story. At 11, she told me that she wanted to learn self-defense and she wanted to learn how to protect herself, which I just, as a mom, I was so proud about because at 11, I was not thinking about defending myself. I loved that she had sort of that desire and awareness.

And so I called some friends, actually a mutual friend of ours, and asked around for people who I could work with in Miami. And they recommended the Valente Brothers studio. And you've met all three of them now. They're these remarkable human beings. And they've been so wonderful for our family. I mean, first starting with Arabella, I used to take her.

And then she'd kind of encourage me and she'd sort of pull me into it. And I started doing it with her. And then Joseph and Theo saw us doing it. They wanted to start doing it. So now they joined and then Jared joined. So now we're all doing jiu-jitsu. And for me, there's something really empowering knowing that I have some basic skills to defend myself.

I think it's something as humans we've kind of gotten away from. You look at any other animal and, you know, even the giraffe, they'll use their neck. The lion, the tiger, every species. And then there's us, you know, who most of us don't. And I didn't know how to protect myself. And I think that it gives you a sense of confidence and also gives you kind of a sense of calm.
