Memento Mori

Blind loyalty has to be without a doubt one of the most self-sabotaging and detrimental behaviors currently running rampant through our people like a pandemic far deadlier and inevitably more contagious than Covid-19. And no, I’m not just talking about aligning with the appropriate colors of your political party and affiliation, but in all aspects […]

The Chocolate Factory

November 3, 2020 Samantha Schell BJJ, Competing, Perseverance, Positivity, Teaching bjj, effort, fighter, hungry, WMMA

Though I may be the size of a grubby little song-show and dance Oompa Loompa, I’m no byproduct of Willy Wonka and therefore under zero obligation to sugarcoat shit for you, or me, or anyone else. There is only one golden ticket to my chocolate factory, and it is in the sole hands of John […]

Just Scroll on By

October 6, 2020 Samantha Schell Anxiety, mental health, Positivity, Stress Anxiety

One of the age old pieces of wisdom many of us heard while growing up is if you don’t have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all. It seems that mentality in the era of social media has been tossed out the window with such gusto, that even Tom Brady’s deflated balls wouldn’t […]

Kiss My OSS

Lately, I’ve been really big on female empowerment and women lifting up other women, so I was pretty disappointed the other day to see one of the most commonplace argument in women’s grappling groups take place; makeup on the mats. It’s no secret that women can be quite vicious toward one another, especially in a […]

Just Let Me Bang, Bro

Fighting is an unconventional occupation as is, but throw in a global pandemic to the mix and suddenly your whole world is in disarray. Understandably, there are numerous unprecedented precautions we all must now implement, but securing a contracted fight during the Covid-19 era is almost damn near impossible. Either people haven’t been training due […]

Guilty as Charged

What’s your toxic trait? This is something I’ve been trying self reflect a lot on lately. We are always so focused on the ways in which we have been wronged and the people who have treated us poorly that we can tend to gloss over the internal conflicts causing chaos within ourselves. “Until people take […]

Trying my Best to Eliminate Stress

August 11, 2020 Samantha Schell Anxiety, BJJ, Competing, Family, Perseverance, Positivity, self confidence, Stress bjj, fight, Jiu Jitsu, mental health, MMA, sacrifice, WMMA

Stress. One word. 6 letters. A whole bunch of reasons behind it. If you’re anything like me, you find yourself getting frazzled constantly, and often by exceptionally minute things that just tend to pile up over time. Little by little, the grains of sand start forming eclipsing dunes and you’ve made mountains out of mole […]

Sometimes, You’re the Pigeon-Sometimes, the Statue

I really need sleep. It’s amazing how when our natural circadian rhythm or our REM cycle is off, how much less progressively we function in life. Lo and behold, I can hear someone overtly breathing in my presence with little sleep and I am likely to implode under the bottled anger pent up in my […]

An Entanglement of Good Vibes

So lately I have seen a lot of people commenting and offering their own personal insights on the celebrity infidelity story that recently broke with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. I find it a bit unusual and self-inflated that outside observers think they have any say or value to strangers’ relationships, and that just because […]

Rooting for the Good

I don’t understand the mindset some people have of wanting to keep others down or rooting for someone else to fail. Personally, I find there is enough sadness and misery in the world without having to go search for it and I would much rather contribute to the beneficial positivity that can always be expanded […]
