Episode #32 I Think there's ALWAYS a Thought
If you've heard Whitney's story of personal growth, weight-loss, and mastering her cravings, you've heard her say, "I tried every solution I could think of, but it wasn't until I changed my thoughts that I found success." - Quick side note, if you HAVEN'T heard her story, WHAAAAAT???

If you were to look at our Calendar, you'd see a chunk of time blocked off every morning that says, "Whit: Thought Work" - she literally doing it at the desk next to me while I type this right now ...but what the heck is it?
