Podcast Intro:

Cory Samaras Griffeth is too much – she is loud, she is proud, she is everything x 10, including brave. She has been to the lowest depths of self-loathing and clawed her way out. She has been gaining and losing weight since she was a kid and now focuses on building muscle. She doesn’t just live her life, she powerlifts it. We went to college together. We both have apple-shaped bodies. She is my sister from the same mister. I love her so much.
