Uncensored and finally speaking her truth, Ronda Rousey is in a new era of her life, moving on from and exposing the UFC and WWE. Ronda also opens up about the dark time in her life after losing her fight with Holly Holms, the abusive dynamics between coach and athlete, and how motherhood has changed her for the better. Join Valeria and Ronda as they dive deep into self-ownership and authenticity, particularly in the face of public demonization and personal tragedy. Ronda completely transformed the world of martial arts, most notably, through her record-setting career as the UFC’s first and most dominant female fighter. She was the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, in 2018, the same year she exploded onto the WWE scene. During her time in WWE, she held the Raw, Smackdown, and multiple tag team titles. Ronda is also a New York Times bestselling author and an actress.
