Connie Easby’s journey into the world of elite CrossFit wasn’t an easy climb. At one point, she hit absolute rock bottom—mentally, physically, and emotionally. But instead of letting it break her, she used it as fuel to come back stronger.


From battling body image struggles to finding her place in the world of fitness, Connie’s story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and pure grit. She didn’t just push past her limits—she smashed them. Now, as a top CrossFit competitor, she’s proving that strength isn’t just about lifting heavy—it’s about fighting for yourself every single day.

This episode is about overcoming obstacles, redefining what’s possible, and showing up for yourself, no matter what life throws your way.
