I first came across Chelsea Reyes through a powerful video where she openly shared her testimony of addiction, recovery, and finding God.

Not long after, our paths crossed at an event here in Austin. Now, we sit down to hear the full story

Before becoming Coach Chelsea, before stepping on bodybuilding stages, before helping women transform their lives through fitness, she was fighting a battle with addiction and alcoholism that nearly cost her everything

Chelsea opens up about working as an exotic dancer, living lost in addiction, and the moments that forced her to take a hard look at the direction her life was heading. She shares how the love of her daughter became the wake-up call that changed everything and how finding faith gave her a foundation to rebuild her life

Today, Chelsea Reyes has become a successful fitness coach, bodybuilder, and mentor to thousands of women. But what makes her story powerful isn't the transformation you see on social media. It's the journey that got her there

This conversation is about addiction, recovery, motherhood, faith, fitness, purpose, and what happens when someone decides their past will no longer define their future

If you've ever struggled, felt stuck, battled addiction, questioned your worth, or needed proof that change is possible, this episode is for you
