Lauren's tips for journaling and self-discovery through writing (including some serious truth-bombs and wisdom.

In today's episode, I interviewed Sam Altieri, mindset coach and funky feelin-herself dancing queen. I met Sam on the internet (insert awkward love story here), and it was a match made in weirdo heaven. Sam's magnetic energy allows her to work with dream clients on the REG (and help them burst through limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, and get on track to having the body and self-confidence they want). We cover SO MUCH JUICY SHIT: Sam's battle with binge-eating and feeling worthless How she overcame feeling "not enough" and "like an outsider" Her tips for shifting your mindset so you can accomplish your goals The "Google Maps" metaphor for meeting yourself where you're at (and seeing the map for where you're going) How daily journaling is her key to having epic days The tools she gives her clients to unlock their limiting beliefs and start succeeding Make sure you listen to the end and see if you can figure out what the hell we're doing...!
