She Fights
Some fights don’t happen in a ring.
They happen in silence.
In survival.
In recovery.
In deciding to keep going.
She Fights is a new podcast hosted by Heather Winkeljohn — a martial artist, nurse, entrepreneur, and woman who has lived through the realities she now gives voice to.
These are not polished success stories.
These are honest conversations with women who have fought through trauma, loss, fear, and self-doubt — and are still standing.
She Fights is about resilience without bravado.
Strength without performance.
Courage without pretending it was easy.
If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself quietly … this podcast is for you.

Roslyn Gallegos was a stellar student with a full-ride scholarship to nursing school. Before completing her first year of college, she was pulled into a world of addiction, exploitation, and an abusive relationship that nearly cost her everything.
Now a licensed social worker, Roslyn has transformed her pain into purpose. In this episode, she joins Heather for an open and honest conversation about what it truly took to rebuild her life—and why helping girls and young women develop self-worth may be the most powerful prevention of all.
