In 2015, I received an offer to move to Los Angeles to build the training organization for Quest Nutrition. If you don’t know my story, let me […]

As women, we tend to be hypercritical of ourselves and especially of our bodies. We look at social media, magazines, TV and compare ourselves to other women. What is the effect of comparison?
