FSPND – Truth, Propaganda, and MMA w/ Alana McLaughlin

Today we have a very special Fight Study (106) and Pride Never Die (3) collaboration with special guest Alana McLaughlin. Sam and Carrion talk to Alana about her first MMA fight and what was going through her mind, how she's dealing with the backlash, her personal history and path to the military, how Afghanistan changed her, her thoughts on war, the pain of denying your truth, the healing aspect of martial arts, and much more. This is one of our most powerful and emotional episodes but does involve discussions of sexual assault, self-harm, and war trauma.

We can't continue to produce important episodes like this one without your solidarity. There is no Southpaw network without your financial support. In return, not only do you help produce our shows but you also get access to more great content. It's mutual aid. Find our Patreon, swag, and other ways to support us at: https://www.southpawpod.com
