First episode of the new season is here! As a jiu jitsu practitioner, I'm excited to start sharing the benefits of martial arts for our mental health! This episode with Laura, the first Albanian female MMA fighter (that I know of), is heavily focused on how her journey with MMA has led her on a path of healing and growth mentally, emotionally and physically. You don't have to be a martial artist to gain insight and helpful takeaways from this episode. 

Topics discussed:

- How martial arts can make you less violent

- Gaining confidence from learning self defense

- Learning to rest and let ourselves heal

- Breathwork (duh)

- Learning from losses and mistakes
