Fighting Through Trauma with UFC Champion Miesha Tate

Miesha Tate is a fighter in every sense of the word—but the real victories didn’t happen in the octagon. In this intimate episode, we go behind the title belts to explore the deeper work: healing trauma, redefining success, and reconnecting with the self.Miesha opens up about being the only girl wrestling boys in high school, navigating a career in a male-dominated sport, and what happened when she hit a “false summit” of success that didn’t deliver the peace she was chasing. We talk about parenting with intention, recovery through movement and tech, and the spiritual and emotional work that brought her back to center.Whether you’re facing burnout, parenting challenges, or your own inner critic—this episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest breakthroughs often begin with breaking down.HIGHLIGHTS[00:00] - Winning a UFC title—and realizing it didn’t fix what was broken[05:32] - Miesha’s start in wrestling and early brushes with adversity[12:26] - Why MMA is more mindful art than chaotic violence[16:40] - The “false summit” of success and redefining identity[23:19] - Breaking generational patterns as a parent[27:34] - Plant medicine, prayer, and the road back to self[35:09] - Biohacking and clean living with intention[42:50] - Why RICE isn’t the recovery answer and what actually works[56:07] - Her message to young athletes (and her younger self)LINKS & RESOURCESBuilt For Growth Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/built-for-growth-by-miesha-tate/id1768061788Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/builtforgrowthpodcast/Miesha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mieshatate/BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybrokenUse code beautifullybroken for 20% offSilver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD (30% off)(Use Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for Discount)StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52Code: beautifullybrokenLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
