“Yeah, I guess like, you know, enter that flow state, I guess, of being like so lost in doing something that you can't think of anything else, everything else disappears. Like that was always my favorite place to be, you know, and swimming. I didn't have that. Your mind is left to wander while you're swimming or in judo, you know, there's nothing happening except for what's happening in front of you and fighting. There's nothing going on except for what's going on in front of you and in pro wrestling. There's nothing going on except for the reality you created in this match that you're in. And yeah, I love being completely lost in the task of doing something the vest that you can. That's something that's addicting and I guess something that I still do now, you know, trying to do like through writing and everything like that.”

“But that's not why I got into it. I didn't get into judo isn't like a big sport that there's going to be crowds of people cheering for you for. You know, anyone that's crazy enough to want Olympic gold medal in anything, it's not because they want to be famous or they want a whole bunch of people to know or cheer for them. It's because they want to be the best at something. And I just love that process of going from knowing nothing about something to mastering it. I love the process of mastery.”

“I guess so, but I mean, I love my favorite crowds to like wrestle in front of are like small crowds. I love being in a small non televised crowd. That's my favorite and fight. I could fight in a closet. I could fight an arena. It's not making it better to me. I just want to win the fight. Like the fight itself is what I care about. That's what gave me the joy. I was completely blocking them out. I mean, they're welcome to be there, but But they're not part of my actual experience of the fight itself. I mean, winning and everyone being like, well, I mean, that's an incredible feeling. That's great.”

“Is actually like going out and like seeing this land become better. And like that kind of stuff is like really rewarding and I don't have to worry about promoting it or what people will think of it or how much money I'm making from it. So yeah, like I'm retired, but I'm busy.”

“Which people don't see, they're not at public, but to be able to distill a script down to as few words as possible and know what you're looking for and all these things and just kind of like learning these skills that I'm really fascinated in. That's just like validating in themselves, you know, and like, and with our ranch and everything like that and raising our cows and like my favorite part is we took this land in Oregon that was like completely degraded. You know, had been mismanaged for years. There was more dirt than there was grass. And to be able, we're using regenerative practices with our WEGU and our poultry to be able to like bring this land back to life, you know? So that was like Then more rewarding to me than reading a whole morning of positive comments on a freaking picture.”

“If I am having like just, you know, like a destructive thought process or something like that that I can like turn my mind towards something creative and actually like make something out of all of that, you know, mental energy that I'm just turning inward and like hurting myself with. And so then came out of this book. And I've actually, I'm working on my fourth script right now. And my first one's been made into a comic book, which I touch on in the book too, but it's also like doing these kind of things, not with the intention of like making millions of dollars or impressing a bunch of people, but just that the act of it is so fun. I'm interning right now at the story department at WV. That's what I was working on in the car. Yeah, I'm learning how to be a reader and write coverages and just, you know, read lots, lots of scripts and make me a better writer and like learn like the dark art of like writing coverages.”

“The last couple of years. Yeah, I mean, my happiness is every day with my family. That's what it is. And I'm so lucky that I get to be, you know, retired in my mid-30s and be able to spend like all my time with my husband and my kids and like to be there for them and to be able not have to like worry about so much, you know, and get to just focus on them. And yeah, I don't know just day to day. I just, I mean, I say like I'm retired, but like I still do stuff, but I don't do stuff with the intention of like I have to pay the bills with this. And so, yeah, I mean, I'm not like only like only my husband, only a wife and mom.

“Yeah, and one thing I will say that's great about it is because I did go through two pregnancies that, you know, my doctor told me it was probably because it wasn't because you chopped your finger off. It wasn't because of your drinking or smoking. Like it was because there were genetically not conducive to life. And so the great thing with IVF is you get these embryos and you can have them tested first and then you don't have to make a decision at 20 weeks long of like, oh Your baby has this kind of, you know disorder malformality and you have to make that decision. And so you know that they're healthy going into it. But then when you put all that effort into it and you finally do it and then it doesn't work out, I mean, that's crushing in itself too, you know.

“Doctor was like, if you stop smoking and drinking, you could have a baby, like, you know, smoke a bunch of weed and drinking, you can naturally have a baby, but because we wanted to have so many, he was like, you should get all your embryos now. So when you're older, you can take your time and do it. And so it's just like, yeah, it's tough because as a woman, you have to choose, am I going to go for a career during my peak years or am I going to like go for kids? And so luckily, you know, science makes it so you can have both, but it doesn't make it easy.”

“I would, you know, just people that are like psychotic trolls that try and follow me around online and like braid me about these kind of things, about like at the time I'd like not having a kid when I was trying and stuff like that. And that's, I guess, the way you have to live with being a public figure, but and you're not supposed to say anything about it because how dare you not be grateful for your good fortune. But man, it sucks when you're going through it and you feel like, you know, the world is also still looking over your shoulder and you're not living up to, you know, your own expectations. I don't know. If there's a... I don't know if there's a feminine word for emasculating, but Effeminating. It feels like if you can't naturally have a baby, like, I mean”

“It's just a grind. It's a grind and it's really hard on you mentally and physically your body and like Like this last cycle, I wasn't allowed to like, you know, work out or anything for weeks on end. And so it's like my first time around when I had to do like four cycles in a row and then the transfer cycle, I mean, like I was like just not recognizable physically. And just mentally so worn out. You're on all these kind of hormones and you're going through this like emotional roller coaster and stuff and you just can't really talk about it, you know. And, um, And yeah, sometimes like.”

“I think like you know no one wants to burden anybody else with what they're going through but a lot of times it's not you're not burdening other people you're you know I don't know if it's like camaraderie, but you're offering something to the other people that are going through the same thing. And a lot of times Woman, you can feel like it's your fault. But, you know, your peak productive years are your peak athletic years. I decided to use those on my career and thankfully I was able to get a bunch of embryos when I was young and hopefully we'll be able to still have a couple more kids. But, you know, I still, I got my Poe and I got my boys. You know, I got a lot more than most people that have been through it. But, you know.”

“Two miscarriages, yeah. And then I went through IVF four cycles to IVF to be able to get eight embryos because we wanted to have like three or four kids. And the first one that we used actually worked, that's the Akea, my daughter now. Yeah, we're in the process of doing it right now, and I just got news yesterday that our first cycle didn't work. Tough. I didn't want going through is tough, and like people just don't talk about it, but you know. Hard because you have like so much hope every time and And yeah, I don't know. I'll just have to wait till the end of this book tour to try again. But I was really hoping to be pregnant today. But it's the kind of thing that nobody talks about. And so many women think they're going through it alone. But It's really, really common. But it's just really hard when things don't work out.”

“Yeah, I, well, I found out I was pregnant right before the show. And, um, But we went and checked out and there's the babies seem just fine. But then I miscarried a couple weeks later. So I just kind of always felt like that was my fault. I wanted to keep doing dangerous stuff while I was pregnant because I thought it made me cool. And then And then I was just like depressed and like drinking and smoking and not taking care of myself. And then I got pregnant right away again. And then we never even saw a heartbeat that time, but I wasn't expecting anything more because I just wasn't taking care of myself.”

“Yeah, John Laura and I just took like he was. He was cut loose because he got names specifically in the scandal, but yeah, Bruce Pritchard is literally, I'd never heard him say a single one of his own opinions. He'd only say that Vince says this, Vin says that Vinces is Vincent says Vincent's Vincent Vince. And so he's literally just like, you know, I call them Vince's avatar. That's basically what he is.”

“Yeah, I mean, Stephan Triple H, I think they're honestly doing their best, but I mean, I think that Vincent McMahon just created a fundamentally sick environment. And I think if Ari is going to be able, if R. Emmanuel, who bought it out from WME, is going to be able to actually make this multi-billion dollar dysfunctional organization into one that functions. He's got to clean out all of Vince's cronies. He's got to completely clean house and remove Vince's influence completely. But, you know, no one's asking me, but that's just what I experienced when Vince was gone, he was still running the show through, you know, people that he'd hired in the past. Bruce Pritchard being number one of them.”

“Well, I mean, supposedly he's out now because they, you know, caught him paying company funds so he can show on some girl's head in the office and, you know, do a threesome with her with Johnny Lauren Idis. But his cronies are still there. And so when that stuff started coming out and Vince was gone before, he was still basically just calling it in and running the company. And, but yeah, like Bruce Pritchard, who's there now, who's still like the head of creative or whatever title they gave him is basically just taking orders from Vince and still running the company through him. And so when Vince was resigned formally because of all these sexual allegations and stuff that were coming out, he was still running the company informally. And I think he still is.”

“And it's so needlessly dangerous. Like no one, like a lot of times people can't rehearse things or change last minute. A lot of times you see them outside. They're performing. They've only talked about it and they're doing it for the first time. So a lot of these injuries happen because people just weren't able to rehearse and the company doesn't give a shit because we're all expendable to them.”

“I mean, you know, starts off like that. But yeah, at first, you know, when everything's going great, it was like I would look at my comments like the morning newspaper. I would wake up in the morning and look at my comments. I would look at my tag photos. And it's so unhealthy. But after my first loss, I quit cold turkey, which I feel like that was one thing that I needed to do was to like not constantly need that outside validation and stuff like that, especially from the internet and social media and stuff. And I was kind of like spiraling in a way and kind of like giving that way too much stock in my like emotional, you know, state and stuff like that. And then pro wrestling, you're literally in front of a crowd that is like the environment. Of a comment section in front of yourself.”

“Then end up, you know, getting, I didn't really get an opportunity to go to WWF. I was kind of like, hey, guys, I want to do this. And then they were like, okay. And yeah, then it just kind of snowballed into because at first I was like, okay, I want to have a baby soon. It'd be kind of cool to go and do some pro wrestling for a couple months before I go and have my baby. And then it just kind of like snowballed into this whole beast and this whole other life that I didn't know that I was going to have, but it was very much like a calling much more than a pursuit, if that made sense, you know.”

“I was just fascinated with that, especially want to be Bruce Lee. And it became that thing that like I started to fixate on and wanted to be better and better at it and just would go into training and lose track of time and realize that I'd been going for five hours kind of a thing. And I love that feeling of being lost in something. I told my friend I was telling somebody the other day, like, passion is my passion. I just love to be passionate about things.

It was kind of like in its purest form where you have to tell the story, like the movie of like the movie part. And then there's a fight. And then the story.

“That was basically like instantly when I came back stage. But, you know, Suicide is the kind of thing that becomes more prevalent if, you know, it's in your family. And I'm literally had two generations of suicide ahead of me. It's just something that. It's always like an option in your mind once it's shown to you, you know? But I think that the fact that I was with Trav then, my husband now. That”

“Taking my equity away from me so that everybody knows that one would actually tarnish my legacy. It wouldn't make everybody take the women after me seriously. And so it had to happen for the betterment of the sport. But, you know, sometimes it still stings a little bit that it's, you know, I'm not recognized as the greatest ever what I know I am. My mom said all the time really quick that you have this picture here that she didn't care if everybody knew she was the best in the world. She only cared if she knew. She didn't care if that nobody knew who was the first American world champion of Judo back in nineteen eighty four. It was important to her. And I think like somewhere along the way it started to matter more what other people thought than what I thought. And so I think.”

“To realize that only people that are truly great can recognize greatness. I want to be so great that even an idiot couldn't deny it, um, But then I realized after going into pro wrestling that retiring undefeated and taking the equity that I had with me wouldn't have been what was best for the sport, even though I know that I'm better than all these girls and by fucking long shot and I always will be”

“And the moment that I ran out of fumes was, you know, broadcast live to billions of people everywhere who all had their own assumptions about it and none of them are right. And I felt like I couldn't speak up or say anything and honestly like whoever I tried to talk to, they didn't care about helping me communicate what I was trying to communicate. They just cared about getting as many clicks as possible so I couldn't trust anyone to speak through. So I feel like this book was the only way that I could really communicate everything that I had been holding on to for years because, I mean. It was really tough, but I literally fought until I couldn't fight anymore. And maybe that's not enough for a lot of people, but I feel like I created the most efficient fighting style that ever created. That was That's ever existed.”

“Lot of crying How to get my lip sewed up the muscle underneath and then the skin. I remember I was so out of it that I bit off a chunk of my lip and spit it out like it was like a piece of chap like you know like a chapped lip like that's how out of it I was that was biting and chewing like spitting out chunks of like the flesh of my lip And people judging me for the decisions I was making while in that state, I think is what bothered me the most. It wasn't so much that I lost, it was just that people thought that I didn't know how to fight. And, you know, if I was at my full capacity, I don't think anyone could ever beat me, but I just. You know, I was spent. I was running on fumes for so long I didn't have any fumes left. And, um,”

“So, I mean, it was tough. It was, I saw a whole bunch of people that I thought were friends just, you know, turn on me. It was really eye-opening in a way though, you know, to Who would to who true friends are and what true happiness is in that outward validation, wasn't it? And so I think maybe you might have saved me in a way from going down the path of trying to chase that high of everybody's, you know, approval forever. But so I guess it was liberating in a way in the long run.”

“Extremely depressing. You know, that was my whole identity. It was being champion and undefeated. And it was just like soul crushing. Really was. Just kind of like forced to face music before I was ready to. And I knew that, um, Was going to catch up to me at some point, but I was more. Upset that there were so many people out there that were like reveling in it. I don't know. It just felt so like unjust in a way because I just felt like it was just. There's so much of it, it just wasn't my fault, you know? I just couldn't, like, My brain just couldn't take what I asked of it anymore, and my body took as much as it could until it literally broke, and I gave everybody everything that I had. And And that wasn't enough for them. They hated me for not having more.”

“Ah, the movie stuff just kind of arose as an opportunity, but, you know, once it became a possibility, I was like, of course I could be the next Bruce Lee, you know, of course I could do Grantthis. I felt like I was a good performer and great physical performer as well. And I could combine the two in a way that nobody else could. So I went after it with the same kind of confidence I went after everything.”

“I was fighting that frequently because that's how often Dana called and I told him that now if you sign me I will be there to fight whenever you need me and I never said no and so anytime that I got an offer or anytime when the guys got hurt or fell out, I was always the one that would fill in. And, you know, if there was like a, I always fought on like February's and August and November's like the worst times of the year is to fight because that's when they needed somebody to come in and pick up the numbers. So I wasn't somebody like holding out to only fight on the 4th of July card or New Year's card, which are the best, you know, the highest feud of the year. I would do whatever was best for the company because that's what I promised the role that I would fulfill. That was like the deal that I made when I came in. And, you know, nobody else has to do that, but I felt like I owed it.”

“Training and everything like that, and that was something I was constantly trying to like battle was like, if you get thrown in a tournament, don't start crying because it's just something that would happen to me all the time. It's such so funny if people think that I'm like, yeah, this emotionalist robot, whatever I fight, that took a long time to be able to get there and to stop like crying in the middle of a match.”

“Y'all, that for crying, so I'd cry, and then I would cry because I was crying and I would cry because I was being yelled at for crying. And yeah, I just, but it wouldn't be because something hurt. It would be because, you know, something I was frustrated by something. I couldn't, I got thrown or I couldn't make something work. I was trying to make work and I would cry out of frustration. My mom said I had to turn it where it was full double elimination. So I ended up winning the tournament. I lost a match earlier in the day. And every single match I would come out crying, bow in, throw the other girl on her ass, beat her, bow out crying, come into the next match, still crying, beat the other girl, bow out crying the whole day crying until I beat everybody, beat the same girl that beat me twice in order to win on top of the podium number one crying still because I lost that first match earlier in the day. And so, yeah, I was always very emotional. I was extremely emotional as a fighter.”
