Welcome back to another special edition episode where we interview someone who's creating life on their own terms and the parents who raised them. Jodi Harrison-Lee is a 5th degree black belt, wife and mother of 3, who's owned a martial arts studio with her husband for over 20 years now. She has made it her mission to empower young women to never fall victim to crimes of violence or psychological abuse. Her martial arts programs focus not only on physical prowess but mental and emotional strength as well. Her mom joins us in the conversation to talk about how she raised Jodi to be the bad-ass that she is today. Listen in and hopefully take away some pearls of wisdom to pass down to the "mini me's" that we're all raising!
