Another insanely amazing podcast clocking in at 4 hours. Come with us as we drive from Phatthailong in the South of Thailand, talking all things deep and of concern to us, and hopefully our listeners and supporters too! The audio is above, or you can watch it all on YouTube.

This is a podcast episode many have been waiting for, as we talk about some of what I'm doing to track possible differences in pain & fear responses (the amygdala) during my menstrual cycle. This is a, as far as I know, completely unexplored area of female (& people who menstruate) fighters that could be really important to how we train and how we fight. You can check out my vlog on the subject to get acquainted to the idea, and then take a deep dive in this epic podcast. This is not only important for fighters who menstruate, but also any coaches of such fighters, or if you care for them.

Thank you to everyone who supports these long drives, and has the patience and passion to listen to these long podcasts. People who share my fire.
