Episode 171-- Rene Gamet -- Every Grapple and Hold Teaches Resilience

Stacked Keys Podcast

Have you ever marveled at the resilience and grace of those who master both the art of beauty and the discipline of combat? Rene Gamet is a hair and makeup artist with a twist – she's also a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and she's here to share her extraordinary journey with us. She has taken real life situations and worked hard to be where she is today. Imagine stepping behind the curtain of the beauty industry, where trends are as fleeting as they are demanding, and then stepping onto the mat where every grapple and hold teaches resilience and strength. Rene offers us a rare glimpse into these two divergent worlds and how they've sculpted her into the powerhouse she is today.
Striking a balance between professional pressure and personal growth, Rene's experiences range from calming jittery brides before their "I do's" to harnessing the confidence earned through martial arts to overcome her own fear of judgment. Through her, we learn the value of preparation in both arenas, and how marrying the intensity of kickboxing with the intricacies of hairstyling can lead to a captivating evolution of self. Rene's narrative weaves through the delicate dance of teaching jiu-jitsu, the empowerment of women on the mat, and the humbling journey from novice to black belt instructor.
As we wrap up, Rene shares her philosophies on life which are as refreshing. She dispels the idea that balance is easy, but she has chosen to be authentic to herself as an individual and as a mom. She dissects the notion of success, peeling back the layers to reveal a longing for simplicity and the true richness that comes from peace and joy. On a lighter note, she muses about a fantastical superpower that perfectly complements her mission – to sprinkle an instant uplift of peace and happiness onto others. Catch Rene's vibrant energy and inspiring tales on social media, where she shines and offers a touch of whimsy in a world that too often forgets to smile.
