About this episode
Devan and Kaytlan Briney bonded over their shared experiences, having come from similar backgrounds. Their conversation began with the day Kaytlan embarked on her Burn Boot Camp journey, weighing 300 lbs. As soon as she walked into the gym, Kaytlan felt like she had found her home. The encouragement to do something for herself motivated her to become the Lead Trainer at Burn Boot Camp Rock Hill. Kaytlan had played Division 1 softball in the past, but after having children, she struggled with her identity, questioning who she was if she wasn't an athlete or a mom. Devan and Kaytlan engaged in a feedback loop, discussing their shared interests in education and sports during their high school years. Kaytlan had overcome abusive relationships, injuries, and other obstacles before finally realizing that she deserved more, as did her children. Devan opened up about his own past and the pivotal moment when he decided that he too deserved more. Kaytlan acknowledges the individuals who have supported her throughout her journey - the Principal, coaches, franchise partners - and she now strives to reciprocate their kindness by empowering others. Despite facing chronic disrespect from her community in the past, she now serves as a leader to a group of strong, empowered women. The reversal is remarkable. So, press play today and start thinking about how you can become the best version of yourself. Take ownership of your decisions and your life, and keep moving forward.
