In episode 7 we are joined by Paige Schmidt from Healthy Hits The Spot. She’s here to talk about creating healthy habits and dealing with the pressure to change your body in the lead up to your wedding.

Paige was the most perfect person to join us, and gave us some great advice around creating a positive body image over going on crash diets. There is definitely more fun things to life!!
