Podcast Episode 11: Fitness Queen Kathy Smith

Kathy Smith

Behold our latest Fit Bottomed Girls’ Podcast episode with THE Kathy Smith. The woman needs no introduction. She is the fitness queen!

And, the gems of knowledge she drops on us. Wow. It makes us giddy and brings us to tears in our conversation with her. From finding therapy in running after a hard childhood to starting her career in aerobics to raising an Olympian (her daughter Kate Grace competed in track in Rio!), Kathy is the real deal and so gracious with her time and heart-felt advice. This ep is a must, must, must listen!
