This week I had an epic interview for Jiu-Jitsu Times. It was yet another opportunity to speak up about leading the way as a head professor and a career woman in a male dominated sport. I address subjects in a daring and possibly contentious way about the empowered woman in touch with her feminine power and all the while unapologetically owning it in a man's world. I also talk about my women’s online program www.girls-ontop.com and my Lifestyle Camp seminars and events to help bring women together and empower them through women’s specific learning and activities.

They can be that tough, strong athlete and they can also be glamorous and feminine ladies. There is no need to repress femininity, beauty or sexuality to be respected and/or taken seriously as an athlete. There is no need to repress any part of us that needs to be expressed and defines who we are. #femininestrength is the strongest and most powerful thing there is. #womenmakethewmorldgoround #powerofshe
