MMA? On Not Your Regular Psychologist? You read that right. In this episode, I dive deep into my unexpected fascination with Mixed Martial Arts!! How I went from casually watching UFC fights with my husband to uncovering powerful lessons in discipline, mindset, and emotional regulation.

I break down why this seemingly aggressive sport is actually a masterclass in self-control, peak performance, and personal mastery. From breathwork techniques that fighters use to stay calm under pressure, to the power of visualization and self-management, there’s so much we can learn from their resilience...both inside and outside the octagon!

I also share insights from my husband Alex, who practices Jiu-Jitsu, and my childhood friend Vibha, a lifelong martial artist who teaches self-defense to women. We explore how martial arts cultivates respect, integrity, and even a deep connection to spirituality.

If you've ever thought MMA is just about brute force, this episode might just change your perspective. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on what we can all take from the fighter’s mindset and apply to our own lives!
