In this powerful episode of My White Belt, I sit down with my dear friend and training partner, Eric Wright — a four-stripe blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Eric shares his deeply personal journey of overcoming shame, fear, and addiction, offering his story in the hope that it helps others on their own path. We talk about the transformative role BJJ is playing in his healing, growth, and daily life. It's a raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful conversation you won't want to miss.
