#15 - Colleen Conlon: Living with not being skinny enough, surgeries that left her without a “core”, the delicate balance of turning passion into business, magic tricks vs reality, and empowering women by swapping the scale for a set of kettlebells

Ep 15: Colleen Conlon is a coach and entrepreneur who specializes in helping women build strength, improve their metabolism and master kettlebells. An eating disorder survivor, Colleen owes much of what has helped her overcome adversity in her life to learning the "hardstyle" kettlebell technique. It is her mission to support other women in overcoming their own challenges and feeling strong and fierce through this same discipline. In this episode, Colleen discusses overcoming an eating disorder by swapping the scale for a set of kettlebells, how 4 abdominal surgeries left her unable to do crunches and how she made a comeback, why kettlebell training is ideal for anyone looking to get the most bang for their buck with their fitness, and 5 things everyone should know before getting started with kettlebells, including what size to start with based on age, gender, and weight.
