26. (Kendall's Interview on Inner Beauty Code) Mastering your Mind On and Off the Mats
This is an interview I did on the Inner Beauty Code Podcast. Below is the description they wrote for it. Super grateful to be sharing the podcast here, too, because I think there’s a lot of value in it for so many of us. 🙏🏼♥️
"In this episode of Inner Beauty Code, Rachele Fialco chats with Kendall Reusing, an eight-time jiu-jitsu champion, black belt, mindset coach, and owner of multiple jiu-jitsu schools in California. Kendall discusses her passion for working in both athlete and business owner roles, engaging in media work like commentary and interviews, and providing online coaching for jiu-jitsu athletes worldwide. She emphasizes the importance of mindset, sharing her journey of eating disorder recovery and promoting mental health and body image positivity, especially as a woman in a male-dominated combat sport. Kendall explores the balance of feminine and masculine energies in her sport and personal life."

24. (Solo) Q&A - The Tea 👀: ADCC 2024, How We Balance Masculine + Feminine, Power Struggles w Staff
Today, I’ve started a brand new kind of episode. We’ve done Q&A here before… but I’m finally introducing it as a mainstay of the show, alongside our classic interview episodes AND teaching/updating/random brain dump episodes lol.
This time around, I cover 3 great questions. ⬇️
1) As an co-owner / manager of 4 academies, how do I manage and assist with power struggles amongst staff, leadership, and students?
2) Will I be competing at ADCC 2024?
3) How do I balance my masculine and feminine energy in a male dominated field… in a way that allows me to feel genuinely ME, and lead to fulfilling levels of success?
I also sneak in a super quick 4th one, but I won’t spoil it for you. 😉
This episode is perfect for:
- anyone who owns / works in / trains in a martial arts academy
- anyone who owns / manages / is a part of other types of business teams
- jiu jitsu fans who want an insight to my competitive plans for this year
- my men and women out there who don’t seem to know exactly how to combine both their masculine + feminine energy in a way that feels true to them and consistent (hint: we’ve all got both, and for good reason!)
- jiu jitsu practitioners who are interested in the whys / why nots of when + how often to compete
- anyone looking for more internal + external energy balance
- team members looking for more peace, happiness, communication, and success in the workplace
- my ladies who need help choosing nogi gear to train in 😆
I hope you enjoy this one, AND I do want to apologize for the camera auto-focusing behind me. I was filming alone this time around, and y’all know I’m doing my best to improve my technological skills! 🙏🏼 Thanks for your patience and for sticking with me through it all.
If you feel inclined, I’d love any feedback / requests / improvement ideas / interview guests desired etc. in the form of a review (Apple/Spotify) or comment section (YT). You truly help me improve. Thank you thank you thank you. Your support is so appreciated. ♥️
Until next time… xo, K

23. (Juliana Miller) Winning UFC's The Ultimate Fighter, Overcoming Online Hate, Turning Insecurity Into Personal Power
In today’s episode, Juliana joins me at my Orange County hotel (the morning after FloGrappling WNO 22 🤠) to take a big deep dive into…
All things The Ultimate Fighter,
dealing with online haters,
being bullied in school,
violence in the home throughout childhood leading to her passion for studying emotional intelligence,
turning her IG comments off,
leaving MMA to return to competitive jiu jitsu (training under Richie “Boogeyman” Martinez at 10th Planet San Diego, CA),
developing true confidence and determination AMONGST public failure, and her gratitude for her surgery leading into her UFC return.
I’m really grateful for Juliana for coming into this conversation with such raw authenticity and vulnerability. She says the things most “online people” only speak about privately. I know it has the potential to touch many lives with inspiration, as it did for me. 💌
Make sure to follow Juliana’s journey here on her IG: @killermillermma AND please like, rate, follow, subscribe, download, share, whatever it is you do. 😆 It helps more than you know to grow the channel and get more amazing guests here over time. Each one is very, very appreciated. ENJOY! 😍✨

22. (Solo) IBJJF NoGi Worlds - Winning Championships, Managing Fear, & My New 6 Month Plan
MERRY CHRISTMAS podcast friends!!! 🥰✨ Today, I download a fullll recap of what it was like to compete on the blue and yellow mats again.
I dive deeply into…
🎄 WHY I even value competing anymore (after working so hard to remove my attachment / self-esteem reliance on it),
🎄 the very real fear and anxiety conversations pre-finals match,
🎄 and post-championship energy management.
I also open up about what I *really* do every day (lol), why competing is now taking a different place than I thought it would, how “content creation” actually works, being an over-sharer (not a surprise HAHA), and the excitement around launching Jiu Jitsu Accelerator (my 1:1 mentorship program based on Jiu Jitsu, Mindset, Strength & Conditioning, and Nutrition) again in January!
I hope y’all enjoy this bff FaceTime style episode. Please drop any comments / reviews / subscribes / downloads / shares you know the deal. ♥️ It helps me and the podcast more than you know.

21. (Eddie Bravo) Looking Into It: Life Lessons In Bullying, Love, Jiu Jitsu & Music
Today, I sit with Eddie in his academy (right before I head to LAX for Polaris lol): 10th Planet Downtown Los Angeles. The legend who needs no introduction walks us through some of his best stories about young love, bullying, fitting in, famous ADCC moments, the “real” history of bjj, and what it means to him to have a grip on his life. Sit back and relax. This one is pretty wild. But would you expect anything else?
