Women Who Fight supports female fighters, collecting specialist advice and sharing current research from the experts. We are passionate about creating a space where women can find answers in a supportive and safe environment, promoting equality in the gym, on screen, in research and in prizes, as well as sinking our teeth into the best ways to optimise our health and training. We believe that our training should work with our unique and dynamic bodies, building on our strengths to help us grow and evolve in our field. In a male dominated sport, women need to support each other as we develop within it, and Women Who Fight aims to bring knowledge to the people who need it.

Valéry Brosseau is a BJJ purple belt living in Toronto, Canada. She is a passionate speaker, writer and mental health advocate. Her lived experience with mental illness has taken her on a journey to combat stigma through mental health awareness.
Valéry delivers talks and workshops, raising awareness and offers 1:1 support equipping people with the tools and language to support others and manage their own mental health. In 2019, she delivered a TEDx talk on the stigma surrounding suicide. She has also written for organisations such as the National Alliance for Mental Illness and the International Bipolar Foundation.
We were so happy to chat to her in this episode about her experience and try to breakdown the taboo of discussing serious mental illness.
