Andrea is a fighter, inside and outside of the ring. She has been paralyzed four times over her career, relearning to walk in 2014. She is a testament to hard work, dedication, and passion, in every aspect of her career. In this episode we talk about how the pressure of a live performance can lead to better results, pushing with your mind when your body cannot, and learning to see the beauty in life even with hardship.
