Ep 85. From Half Marathon at 19 Weeks to Her Baby’s Heart Surgery: The Transformation You Don’t See Coming with Anneli Connell

from Start Before You're Ready · host Kelly Young

In this episode of Start Before You’re Ready, Kelly sits down with longtime boot camper Anneli Connell, whose fitness journey has carried her from casual college runner to accomplished athlete, working mom, and powerful example of resilience. Anneli opens up about training through pregnancy, discovering the real impact of strength and variety on her running, and how fitness became her anchor during her son’s diagnosis and open-heart surgery as a newborn.She also shares candidly about slipping into a nightly wine habit and how KBC’s goal-setting and accountability helped her radically cut back and reclaim her energy, clarity, and confidence. If you’ve ever used workouts to cope, felt stuck repeating the same goal without progress, or wondered whether change is still possible in the busiest seasons of life, Anneli’s story will make you feel seen and ready to take your next small step.--Let’s connect!IG: @kellys_bootcampMy website: https://kellysbootcamp.net/
