EP089: Overcoming an Eating Disorder to Helping People Take Control of Their Body w/ Kelsey Heenan

Kelsey Heenan and her husband Dennis are amazing humans. I met them over a year ago, and was so happy that they were able to present at this year's Vigor Ground Fitness and Business Summit. At the Summit, I got the chance to learn more about Kelsey's story, and how it led her to the work she now does with HIITBURN. We talk about it in this episode, but Kelsey went from being a college athlete, to a serious eating disorder—which she overcame, and discusses in this episode—to becoming a teacher, to now helping people take control of their body through the online coaching work she does with HIITBURN – the business she started with her husband Dennis. HIITBURN has since evolved into a worldwide phenomenon. It helps thousands and thousands of people globally reach their goals with a series of different coaching programs that are designed and led by Kelsey and Dennis. We talk about everything from how to recognize an eating disorder—or disordered eating—and how to address it. To what led Kelsey to online coaching—in particular, how they got started and all the obstacles they overcame—and how to develop your own voice, build your brand, and a whole lot more.
