Connie and Lina get to sit down for an incredible, off-the-freaking-chain chat with the legendary Susan Powter. And trust, she holds nothing back, sharing her wild origin story, rise, and fall—and now her return to the stage. We’ve got exclusives! Powter went from being a broke single mom who stripped at the Million Dollar Saloon in conservative Dallas, Texas, and rose to completely shake up the fitness world. They get real about what it means to be a powerful woman, bouncing back from tough times, and why it's so important to just be yourself. Susan gives the inside scoop on her new documentary, “Stop the Insanity,” and how it captures all her biggest fights, wins, and losses. With her super honest stories and amazing energy, Susan is someone you will never forget. This conversation is a must-listen.
