About this episode

Brigitte Morris shares her inspiring journey from battling Crohn's disease to becoming a successful entrepreneur and martial artist.

As a 6th Degree Black Belt and a relentless entrepreneur, Brigitte Morris knows how to fight, but her toughest opponent has been her own body. At just 18 years old, she went from being a peak-performing athlete to fighting for her life against a devastating Crohn’s disease diagnosis that led to agonizing pain and multiple organ-removal surgeries. Refusing to play the victim on the floor of her apartment, she took absolute ownership of her healing, defying medical expectations by completely reversing her symptoms through intense discipline and dietary changes. Today, she uses that same martial arts mindset to smash glass ceilings, running the international brand Mightyfist and changing the global landscape for women in notoriously male-dominated boardrooms. This is a raw conversation in refusing to accept a death sentence, trusting your own intuition, and changing your perspective when your back is against the wall. Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
