Miesha Tate is a fighter in every sense of the word—but the real victories didn’t happen in the octagon. In this intimate episode, we go behind the title belts to explore the deeper work: healing trauma, redefining success, and reconnecting with the self.
Miesha opens up about being the only girl wrestling boys in high school, navigating a career in a male-dominated sport, and what happened when she hit a “false summit” of success that didn’t deliver the peace she was chasing. We talk about parenting with intention, recovery through movement and tech, and the spiritual and emotional work that brought her back to center.
Whether you’re facing burnout, parenting challenges, or your own inner critic—this episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest breakthroughs often begin with breaking down.
