#180: Beth Tannatt on Being an Adaptive Athlete at the CrossFit Games, Overcoming an Eating Disorder, and Taking Up More Space Not Less

On Episode 180 I bring Beth Tannatt onto the show. Beth is a physical therapist of 16 years, a mother of two, and an adaptive CrossFit Games Athlete. Beth was in a near-fatal car accident when she was 20, getting hit by a tractor-trailer on a two-lane highway in upstate NY on a beautiful sunny summer day.

Beth struggled on and off with an eating disorder for most of her life and it wasn’t until she found the sport of CrossFit that she decided that she wanted to take up more space, not less. She began to appreciate what the female body could do, rather than what it looked like. And four years later, she was a part of the first Adaptive Athlete division in CrossFit Games history.

This bio and introduction don't even begin to give this incredible story justice. Listen in to hear the rest of Beth's incredible story! And as always, I hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
