Dating Your Goal: Success, Failure and Jiu-Jitsu
29 July 2026
Gemma is a full-time professional, photographer, and jiu-jitsu enthusiast who decided to use the Date Your Goal process to prepare for her first jiu-jitsu competition.
In this episode, we talk about how she used Time Hackers principles to prepare for competition, why losing still felt like a win, and how focusing on who she was becoming changed everything. We also discuss perfectionism, making faster decisions, speaking in front of 300 people, choosing paint colours without overthinking them, and why personal growth often starts with saying yes to things that feel uncomfortable.
If you've ever put off a goal because you were afraid of getting it wrong, this conversation is a powerful reminder that progress doesn't require perfection.

VALIDATING & EMPOWERING
I love this podcast. The way Vikki breaks complicated feelings into relatable concepts is really validating and she helps me understand myself. I love the questions and action items posed throughout each podcast. This has helped me through some rough times though-out the pandemic!

A MUST HEAR!
Vikki has honestly helped me reshaped my mind. When I get into relationships and going through a rough patch I tend to over think and put scenarios in my mind. However vikki has helped me focus on myself and be able to make decisions for myself. Her short, straight to the point podcast! Are great for morning motivation and food for thought when you’re going through a phase, just like myself, of finding yourself and your voice!
