From Rock Bottom To 12 Years Sober: Kortney Olsen's Story

Kortney Olsen is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion, an Australian arm wrestling champion, a bestselling author, a TV personality, and the woman who crushes watermelons between her thighs.

She's also 12 years clean and sober from meth, oxy, pills, and alcohol.

In this conversation with Sober Dave, Kortney walks back through the whole story. The mum who was an alcoholic in active addiction. The Kate Moss ad that lit her body image obsession. The bullying that made her a doormat. The 17-year-old straight-A student who got introduced to a "mentor" boxing coach by a drug counsellor, and what happened in his house that she spent years blaming herself for. The alter ego she built to survive it. The blackouts. The car crash. The rock bottoms that kept not being enough.

And then, eventually, the work. The steps. The marriage four months sober. The clothing brand built around one pledge: I am an equal amongst my peers.
