Sometimes, we convince ourselves that we have to fight everything alone.
In this episode of Tazz Knows, Tazz and Naynay talk about what it means to struggle behind the scenes, why asking for help doesn't make you weak, and how important it is to have people in your corner.
Tazz shares his perspective as an MMA coach who has spent years standing in someone else's corner, helping fighters through some of their hardest moments. But being the person in someone else's corner doesn't mean you never need someone in yours. Tazz opens up about his own battles, the people he relies on, and why continuing forward doesn't have to mean carrying everything by yourself.
Naynay also gets vulnerable and shares part of her personal story. When she was younger and first began training in MMA over 10 years ago, she found herself in a narcissistic relationship that contributed to a very difficult period of depression. Over the years, she worked through those experiences, continued growing, and learned that strength isn't always about handling everything on your own.
Sometimes strength looks like saying, "I need help."
You don't have to have everything figured out. You don't have to pretend you're okay when you're not. And you don't have to fight every battle alone.
If you or someone you know is struggling, start the conversation. Talk to someone you trust, a mental health professional, or someone who can simply listen.
