We all tap into our strength in different ways and for a lot of people, strengthening their physical bodies is the key to strengthening their minds as well. Today I talk with Maria Rodriguez of Fear Her Fight Athletics about how strength training opened doors within and outside of her, and how she pays that forward with coaching, her company and bringing folks together to stand more in their own strength.
