#10: Karen Pierce, Heart of a Champion

Heart of a Champion

Our special guest today is part of the Compete community. Karen lives in Austin, TX and has competed in the Crossfit Games. She’s done amazing things in her life, including kicking cancer’s ass.

In this episode, we talk about what it was like for a woman in her 30s and athlete in a rising sport to battle cervical cancer. Karen shares what she went through to even get a diagnosis, processing what her diagnosis meant for having a family, and giving hope to people who fight challenges like her.

Karen is an inspirational leader. I admire her for who she is as a woman and the fight that’s in her spirit.
