Bekki shares her story about how she always wanted to become a therapist but instead has found her life journey guiding her to own and run a successful martial arts school where she shares the therapeutic benefit of the mental and physical challenges of athletics in general, but especially martial arts.  And how that journey has included many years of wrestling with being more and more honest, more and more vulnerable in her own therapy to overcome childhood trauma.  We discuss how her experiences helped her become a safe space and therapist for kids, teens, and adults in her unique way.  Through a life that has brought many lessons through physical, mental, emotional, and relationship that has paid off with deep resiliency and confidence.  Connect with Bekki through her school: www.becksmartialarts.com.
