She Kicks VA: Power, Pain & Becoming Unstoppable 🥊 | S3 #23

This episode is giving empowerment, vulnerability, AND a little unhinged fun 💅

In honor of women's history month: we’re joined by the incredible Sarah Bonney, founder of She Kicks VA — a community bringing women together through martial arts, confidence, and straight-up badass energy.

We dive into:

• 🥊 How martial arts builds confidence (inside AND outside the ring)
• 💔 Turning trauma into purpose and creating safer spaces for women
• 👯‍♀️ Why training with women hits different
• 💭 What being a “strong woman” actually means (this one hits)

AND of course…

🎤 Drop It On Us, Big Daddy!
