We’re on a good one, Healthpreneurs! Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast, where we have yet another incredible game-changing guest on the show. Meet Samantha Skelly, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, best-selling author, and emotional eating expert extraordinaire.  

 

Samantha created her business, Hungry for Happiness, after going through her own personal battle with food and self-image, and has since committed herself to revolutionizing the weight loss industry. She has transformed the lives of thousands by aiding them through the process of self-discovery and awareness so they identify and overcome the root causes of their struggles.  

 

Fear is scary, but is even scarier if you let it totally rule your actions (or inactions). Rather, Samantha challenges us to recognize the existence of fear, but also the existence of courage within ourselves. Tune in to hear how Samantha reaches for her own courage personally and in business, helps others do the same, and how she has stood for what she believes (and doesn’t!) to build her business and rock-solid tribe.  

 

In this episode, Samantha and I discuss: 

• Samantha’s desire to create a world where women don’t feel compelled to diet. 
• Speaking onstage and addressing fears. 
• Life as a “full-time wedgie.” 

• Differentiating yourself from the rest. 
• Putting a price on changing someone’s life. 
• Mentorship and expecting others to invest when you haven’t.
