Heather Parillo talks about reaching your true potential!

How would you feel knowing you had pushed your body to its limit? In today's episode, we talk to bonafide badass, Heather Parillo, about her experience training and performing in Kokoro by SEALFIT.

Heather's background is in leadership development, and at 45 years old, she began searching for a way to push herself to her full potential. At the beginning of her journey, she couldn't do a pullup, had never run a mile, and was carrying an extra 40 pounds. She gave herself a year to prepare herself mentally, physically, and spiritually for one of the most difficult challenges a civilian could tackle. Much like she transforms businesses in her professional life, Heather set out to transform her body and show just what can be accomplished if you push your body to the limit. Not satisfied with completing 26 miles of the 50-mile grueling event, Heather will return to California in July and become the 20th woman to conquer Kokoro. We look forward to welcoming her back and celebrating her success.
