Episode Summary:
In this episode, Christine Carter of Weight Loss Hero and I talk
about her weight loss journey and the hope we have for a healthy
body, mind and soul. In order to achieve lasting change in our
bodies, we must first transform our minds. We can also take control
of areas of our lives, like fear, that are holding us back from
change.
