The Real Fight: From Survival to Sovereignty — My Journey to Black Belt
This episode isn’t about medals or wins. It’s about the real fight — the one that happens off the mats, in the quiet moments when you question your worth, your capacity, and your calling.

I tried to hold more than I had capacity for, telling myself, “You’ve won world titles, you can do this.” But my body whispered, “You don’t feel safe yet.” That moment became o...
