Stay Connected...Thank you for your support !

On today's episode we're speaking with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense teacher, Becca McLean. As a 32 year old stay at home mom of 3, suffering from some health issues and unable to be physically active like she was used to, she decided that even if she couldn't participate like she wanted to, she was going to enroll her kids into Jiu-Jitsu. She wanted to make sure that they were able to protect themselves from the history of pain and abuse that Becca herself suffered through.
For four years, Becca watched as her two oldest children learned and competed. While battling anxiety and depression from her childhood trauma and domestic abuse situations as an adult, Becca decided that it was time for to take her daughters place on the mats when she switched to wrestling.
As a teacher, she not only teaches women to defend themselves, but to reach deep inside and find out the why. Why are you in a self-defense class? This episode becomes more about breaking through the traumas, the unbelief in yourself, the feeling of unworthiness. Because as Becca put it...if you don't feel worthy enough, you won't feel worthy enough to fight and save when the time comes. Self-defense is not only knowing the moves to save yourself, it's about knowing that you are worthy enough to live and fight for.
This episode hits home. It goes beyond self-defense and digs deep into who we are as women. What we need to look at under the layers we create from our past. We are blessed to have Becca on this episode and wish her best of luck with her career and the ladies whom she serves.
