Joelle White has been an online friend of mine for years. The one thing I always enjoy about her is her sense of perseverance from her journey from white belt to black belt in martial arts to her unwavering desire to overcome the hardships she faces in her life. I'm happy that she began her blog so many years ago after reading her eloquent responses to my blog. I knew immediately that she needed to share her story more than she needed to respond to mine. Joelle is a beautiful soul, a hard worker, and the kind of martial artist who is truly excited about her martial art practice. She has, in so many ways, inspired me to be a thankful and thoughtful person. One of her most difficult struggles has been financial. She openly shares her story of facing devastating financial obstacles head on and how she eventually pulled out from beneath the weight of them. Her overarching theme is that, no matter what, you must strive to reach your limits. If you love stories that are genuine, real, and enthusiastic, the kind of stories that remind you that your vulnerabilities can one day be your strengths, then you will love listening to Joelle's story on this segment of The Martial Arts Woman Podcast.
