Episode Details

Alicia Santandreu is a powerhouse of resilience and empowerment. A survivor of abuse turned healer, teacher, and counselor, she fiercely advocates for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. As a co-owner of a Jiu Jitsu school, Alicia channels her passion for female empowerment, helping women reclaim their strength and voice through self-defense. 

In this episode of the Bold Women in Business podcast, we hear Alicia’s perspective on female empowerment, entrepreneurship, and the example she’s setting for her two young daughters. 

Key takeaways

• Empowerment through self-defense and martial arts allows women, especially those in abusive situations, to regain control of their lives.
• When women are in abusive situations, they lose their light. Empowerment and healing work help that light come back. 
• Running a business with intention and a deeper purpose makes entrepreneurship so much more fulfilling — and it leads to a much more meaningful and enjoyable customer experience.
