You have to love yourself as much as you love other people. It's very difficult, first of all, to leave someone in that state. Focus on doing the best that we can, appreciating everybody as much as we can, but know that some things are out of our hands.
How do you cope with unimaginable loss? Mia St. John, a five-time World and International Boxing Champion, opens up about her personal struggles in this deeply moving episode of 'In The Ring With Mia St. John'. She shares the heart-wrenching story of losing her ex-husband, Kristoff St. John, and their son, Julian. But Mia's journey doesn't stop at grief.
She candidly discusses her battles with alcoholism and depression, offering a raw and honest look at the chaos that followed these tragedies. Mia also highlights the importance of seeking help and the transformative power of mental health programs.

Through her story, Mia emphasizes the need to love ourselves as much as we love others and to appreciate life's blessings while acknowledging that some things are beyond our control. This episode isn't just about Mia's struggles; it's about resilience, hope, and the strength to keep fighting. Whether you're facing similar challenges or supporting someone who is, Mia's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
