Description

Melayne Shayne, who I jokingly refer to as Mrs Budokon in this episode, is of course much more than just a Mrs. She is the VP and global brand director of the Budokon University and Academy, as well as a Budokon Mixed Movement Athlete herself, and founder of the Warrior Women Tribe.

What is Budokon, you may ask? According to its creator and founder Cameron Shayne, Budokon is a system of mixed movement arts, combining martial arts, calisthenics and yoga into one seamless system.

For Melayne, moving is more than creating forms and shapes with the body: it is a lifelong commitment to self reflection and personal development.

Melayne’s love for practicing and sharing mixed-movement and living her philosophy is reflected in her grounded teaching style, commitment to her Budokon black belt and most notably, in the passion she has for bringing women together through her Warrior Women events and global network.

We chat about:

• what the Way of the Warrior Woman is, 
• what movement means to Melayne, 
• how the trajectory of her career led her to where she is now, 
• the new Budokon headquarters in Montana, 
• and right at the end we get into the really juicy stuff and discuss sexuality in the context of monogamy or lack thereof.

I hope you enjoy this conversation.
