LET IT OUT 218 | Claire Fountain on Food Psychology, Comparison, Complexities Body Positivity, Sustainable Self-Love, Writing, Social Media + more
I find guests for this podcast in a myriad of ways . Today's guest was recomended by a podcast listener and longtime internet friend. Our cozy conversation in her Manhattan apartment on a cold Friday night exceeded my expectations and meandered all over. Claire is not only beautiful but wise, insightful, and vulnerable. She's known for yoga yet we barely touched on yoga and instead focusing on her winding path to where she is now including her eating disorder in her teens, how she stumbled into the career she's in now, all the way up to her decision to go on to grad school for psychology. We talked about food psychology, the value of therapy, the complexities body positivity, being a social media influencer and what that even means, sustainable self-love, comparison in social media and beyond, journaling and writing, and much more. I loved meeting Claire and I think you will too.

You guys know what time of year it is. Tax time. Not my favorite things to do. Which is why I love Freshbooks. Of all the things I've tried out there I've found that using Freshbooks is the simplest way to be more productive and organized with business accounting and finances. Plus, they have tons of new features they've recently added to the software and customer support is always available and friendly when I need it. Getting started with Freshbooks is extremely simple, even if you’re not a numbers person... actually especially if you’re not a numbers person. Remember guys: keeping on top of finances creates more room for abundance!
