In this episode I chat with Cindy Villanueva, a sixth-level martial arts black belt. We talk about jumping in with both feet, jogging across the Golden Gate bridge at night, why she may never look at a log the same way again, and learning what you're really capable of. Find out why Cindy loves martial arts - and why you might learn to love it, too.

Let's face it: life is really hard. But what's equally true is that people are resilient and amazing. And what keeps a lot of them going is just, well, loving what they love. So this a podcast about the wonderful, and sometimes weird, things people are absolutely passionate about. They're always a unique expression of curiosity and joy and wonder. And the world needs a hell of a lot more curiosity, joy, and wonder, especially now.

So every other week, I'll introduce you to another fascinating human who is into really interesting stuff.

There are as many stories as there are people out there, and I want to help tell them.

​I'm Julie Rose. Welcome to Love What You Love.
