“I have changed so much as a person over these past 5 and a half years, I almost don’t recognize myself. I feel as if I have lived my life as two very different people, but yet I am very much the same person that I have always been.”

“I have changed so much as a person over these past 5 and a half years, I almost don’t recognize myself. I feel as if I have lived my life as two very different people, but yet I am very much the same person that I have always been.”
In this week’s episode of Pursuing Health, Haley Morrone shares the story of her tumultuous childhood during which she experienced sexual abuse, depression, and drug and alcohol abuse. As she grew up and became a young mother, she found herself facing even more challenges, including smoking, binge eating, obesity, and back pain.
Haley knew she wanted to be healthier, but struggled to overcome the obstacles in her path.
Luckily, Haley’s friends and family didn’t give up on her, and Haley didn’t give up on herself. She decided to educate herself as much as possible so that she could learn how to create long-term healthy habits. She went back to school for Bachelors in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and then joined a CrossFit affiliate while her husband was on an Army deployment.
Once the health and fitness ball was rolling, Haley became unstoppable. She became a certified 500-hour Yoga teacher, got her CrossFit Level 1, opened an affiliate with her husband, completed her Precision Nutrition Level 1 and more.
In this inspiring conversation, Haley and I talk about how she’s always working to grow to her fullest potential, why surrounding yourself with a good community is so important, and how getting outside her comfort zone has led her down a path of wanting to share her story to help and motivate others.
