The thing that I think women don't realize is your body is going to be a byproduct of whatever you put it through, and there's no feeling in the world like getting strong.
Krissy Mae Cagney's story is one of transformation and tenacity. As a personal trainer and entrepreneur, she's built a thriving business that not only promotes fitness but also offers a lifeline to those battling addiction. In this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE' with Dr. Drew and co-host Mike Catherwood, Krissy Mae opens up about her journey from addiction to recovery, and how fitness played a crucial role in her healing process. Krissy Mae's path to sobriety wasn't straightforward.
Her first encounter with fitness came during high school in a strength and conditioning class. However, her life took a darker turn as she became increasingly involved with drugs and alcohol. A turning point came when she woke up in a hospital after a seizure, realizing the dire consequences of her addiction. From that moment, she dedicated herself to getting clean and embracing a healthier lifestyle. Throughout the podcast, Krissy Mae stresses the importance of being open about her struggles.
She shares candidly about her insecurities, even admitting to photoshopping pictures due to body image issues. This transparency has helped her connect deeply with others facing similar battles, creating a supportive community around her. Her passion for fitness led to the creation of 'Deadlifts and Donuts', a business that combines strength training with a touch of fun. But Krissy Mae didn't stop there.
Recognizing the therapeutic power of exercise, she founded 'Reps 4 Recovery', an initiative that provides free gym memberships to individuals in recovery. Her commitment to helping others find solace in fitness is truly inspiring. Krissy Mae's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that healthy outlets can play a significant role in overcoming life's challenges. Her journey highlights the impact of perseverance and the importance of finding support in unexpected places.
