    Join us today on a special episode with Tzitzi Lomeli!! Tzitzi suffered a pretty severe knee injury during a jiu jitsu training session earlier this year that affected her daily life in a way that she never imagined. After multiple consultations with Doctors who recommended surgery, Tzitzi decided otherwise. There was no way she could go through the ACL surgery recovery process with all of life's priorities. Tzitzi shares her journey of her decision, why she made it, & if she thinks she made the right one. This is her story.
