In this episode of Shed Life Podcast, Jason sits down with undefeated professional boxer Sheilla Yama — the Papua New Guinea-born fighter now based in Hamilton, New Zealand, who is rapidly rising through the professional boxing ranks.

Fresh off winning the IBF International Super Lightweight Title and holding an unbeaten 7-0 professional record, Sheilla shares her incredible journey from growing up in a small village in Papua New Guinea to becoming one of New Zealand’s most exciting female boxing prospects.

Before boxing, Sheilla trained as a nurse and spent time living in the Cook Islands and New Zealand before discovering the sport that would change her life forever.

In this podcast, Sheilla opens up about:

• Life growing up in Papua New Guinea

• Her transition from nursing to professional boxing

• Winning the IBF International Title

• The mental discipline required to stay undefeated

• Post-fight blues and pressure as a fighter

• Motivation, sacrifice, and resilience

This is an inspiring conversation about hard work, identity, discipline, and chasing greatness against the odds.
