Bailey is joined by self-defense expert, martial arts instructor, motivational speaker and breast cancer survivor Christina Ioannides to talk about how breast cancer was the best thing that ever happened to her.

This is an incredibly empowering story. Christina was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021. Although she felt completely defeated sometimes, she came out stronger. It was a choice she made. It was the sense of humor she kept. It was her faith. And the commitment to her physical and mental training that empowered her more than ever. Christina today helps others to do the same through her self-defense and martial arts programs.

Christina and Bailey dive deep into Christina's journey of resilience while battling cancer and why it was the best thing that could have happened to her.

They talk about how martial arts helped her face the battle of this disease, the importance of choosing to fight instead of staying in a victim mode, how to fight negative talk and how to train your mind to be strong. Furthermore they talk about how she started a business in the middle of her battle.

Whatever challenges you may face, you deserve to find your balance and fight. Dive in! Learn how to be more aware, equipped and ready for situations that life may throw at you!
