Former professional kickboxer turned therapist, Hazel Gale, joins Srini Rao on The Unmistakable Creative to discuss her multifaceted career and the journey of self-discovery she experienced through competitive fighting. Hazel shares how her parents' expectations clashed with her desire to be a fighter, the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated sport, and the mindset required to step into the ring. She also delves into the power of writing down thoughts to organize and find meaning, the importance of self-distancing in journaling, and the realization that true worth and victory come from authentic connection with others.
