The actress took to social media to open up on how the combat sport has helped her battle with mental struggles.
“I remember a time where Boxing saved me, I was trying to move on from a dark time in my life where I quit everything. Everything… (let’s save that for later) but by finding this new hobby of mine, got my days exciting again, it made my mood swings go away because I had purpose again, purpose that pushed myself to be better than I was yesterday,” she wrote.
As more challenges faced her, she found interest in mixed martial arts (MMA) that helped her battle her anxiety.
