In this episode of The Strong New York Podcast, host Kenny Santucci sits down with WWE’s 14-time champion, Charlotte Flair. Charlotte opens up about her journey through professional wrestling — from breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry to redefining what it means to be a female athlete at the top of her game. She shares how she stays physically and mentally strong while constantly on the road, the discipline behind her training and nutrition, and how she’s learned to tune out the noise of public scrutiny. This powerful conversation dives into resilience, purpose, and legacy — and how Charlotte continues to inspire the next generation, both inside and outside the ring.
