Reveal x Colleen Daly, Part 1: Self Defense, Apologizing, Female Advocacy & Fitness

On Part 1 of Reveal Episode 2, I interview Colleen Daly (@colleen10p), the creator of a womens/femmes fight club (@guerrerafightclub), a 10th Planet Purple Belt, and a Defensive Options black belt. She is a boxing, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu competitor, a fitness coach, and a body positivity advocate. We reveal Colleen’s initial journey on her way to becoming expert competitor, her fight club, and converse about mindset. Colleen speaks on training, protecting yourself, and gives us three pieces of advice that we can utilize in our lives regarding self-defense. We talk about how to take up space as a woman and combat the fact that as women we have been socialized to be small and apologize. If you would like more from Colleen, she is a published author in the Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology on research she conducted with the Northwestern University Body and Media Lab on how fitness instructors influence the body image of their participants. She is also the subject of the documentary, “All the Rage” currently on the film festival circuit, and appears in Chapter 15 “Beauty Sick” by Renee Engeln. Reveal Episode 2 Part 2 will cover eating disorders, reveal a story of building confidence, Colleen's service animal, and the role of fitness in disordered behavior as well as in recovery.
