This week I’m chatting with Liz Anthony from thatpaleogirl.com!

We also discuss how to pick a practitioner, how to know if someone isn't the best fit for you anymore, and the growing number of health coaches on the internet. We talk about avoiding the comparison trap on Instagram, what to do when people in your life give you a hard time for your healthy habits, the benefits of supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses, and more!
