I feel like a lot of people look at people like you and I, who have been doing this for a hot second, and they're like: oh gosh, I want what you have, and I have had many days of like crying in the shower because to get here right, and I still do so.

From dealing with emotional abuse in her early years to the overwhelming challenges of college life, Kathryn opens up about how she used alcohol to numb her pain. But her story doesn't end there. She found a lifeline in weightlifting, transforming her struggle into a source of immense physical and mental strength.
