Episode 31. Jiu-Jitsu, Beating Imposter Syndrome & Thailand
The conversation
About Verna Darger.
Verna Darger sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 31, “Jiu-Jitsu, Beating Imposter Syndrome & Thailand”.
Verna started jiu-jitsu about three years before the episode and became a Women Empowered practitioner and instructor. She and Nick met when they both earned that certification. At the time she had her blue belt test scheduled for December.
She spent three unforgettable months in Thailand teaching English, connecting with children and families, and living in a new culture.
Verna talks about imposter syndrome, learning to lead a room and trust her own voice, and why a scary trip might be a sign you should go.
“Currently I have my blue belt test scheduled for coming up in December”
