She Fights

Some fights don’t happen in a ring.


They happen in silence.
In survival.
In recovery.
In deciding to keep going.


She Fights is a new podcast hosted by Heather Winkeljohn — a martial artist, nurse, entrepreneur, and woman who has lived through the realities she now gives voice to.


These are not polished success stories.


These are honest conversations with women who have fought through trauma, loss, fear, and self-doubt — and are still standing.


She Fights is about resilience without bravado.

Strength without performance.

Courage without pretending it was easy.


If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself quietly … this podcast is for you.

    What happens when healing becomes your life’s mission?

    After overcoming her own struggles with trauma, depression, and eating disorders, Dr. Anita DelPrete dedicated her life to helping others achieve lasting wellness through the powerful connection of mind, body, and spirit.

    In this episode of She Fights, Heather Winkeljohn sits down with Dr. Anita to discuss healthy eating, mindset, recovery, and the role nutrition plays in both physical and emotional well-being. Together, they explore how sustainable wellness is built through balance, education, and a deeper understanding of the body’s ability to heal.

    Heather and Anita also reflect on their years working together at Jackson Wink MMA Academy, where they helped professional fighters optimize performance, safely manage weight, and recover after competition. Their work challenged many of the dangerous old-school approaches to weight cutting and replaced them with healthier, science-based strategies that prioritized both performance and long-term health.

    Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or simply someone looking to improve your health, this conversation offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a reminder that true strength begins from the inside out.

Together, Heather and Sean talk about how women can better understand risk, protect their boundaries, and build confidence through awareness, preparation, and action.

    This episode is not about fear. It’s about knowledge. It’s about trusting yourself. And it’s about helping women recognize that their safety, voice, and instincts matter.
