CHAMPION OF THE HEART with Cesalina Gracie SOUNDFOOD

“Being a Champion is a Condition of the Heart”
We are honored to welcome a warrior for universal empowerment, Cesalina Gracie to SOUNDFOOD.
Jiu-jitsu visionary, Olympics host, entrepreneur and multi-hyphenate athlete, Cesalina hails from the legendary Gracie martial arts lineage. Today she joins us from Los Angeles, home base for Women in Power -  Cesalina's school where she teaches the art and philosophy of jiu-jitsu to girls and women.
In May 2023 Cesalina made history for being the 8th Brazilian woman to summit Mount Everest -the world's highest mountain- during the deadliest season in the mountain's 102-year climbing history. She accredits her success to her jiu-jitsu training and mindset
In this episode Cesalina shares her journey of finding her own path within an esteemed martial arts family, how jiu-jitsu has taught her how to feel powerful and safe in any situation, including the most confronting, life threatening moments climbing Mount Everest, and why she is committed to sharing this methodology with others. We speak about the ripple effects of her mission: how teaching women self defense and healthy boundaries from a young age can inspire generations to discover their own inner strength and confidence, move with grace, from instinct to reflex, and into a champion state of mind.
Thank you Cesalina for sharing the deep strength of the feminine and your light with us!
