She Fights

She Fights

Some fights don’t happen in a ring. They happen in silence. In survival. In recovery. In deciding to keep going. She Fights is a new podcast hosted by Heather Winkeljohn — a martial artist, nurse, entrepreneur, and woman who has lived through the realities she now gives voice to. These are not polished success stories. These are honest conversations with women who have fought through trauma, loss, fear, and self-doubt — and are still standing. She Fights is about resilience without bravado. Strength without performance. Courage without pretending it was easy. If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself quietly … this podcast is for you. Host - Heather Winkeljohn Heather Winkeljohn is an entrepreneur, registered nurse, martial arts instructor, and advocate for women’s empowerment. She is a co-owner of the world-renowned Jackson Wink MMA Academy, co-founder of Smart Girl Self Defense, and the host of She Fights, a podcast under Unstoppable Voices Media that shares powerful stories of women overcoming adversity through resilience and strength.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
