Listen in as Julie Interviews Meghan Fitzgerald about her new book Butterfly Out.  We live life forward and understand it backward and often find the things we go through to be random and Meghan Fitzgerald has written a beautiful book about her journey to finding her purpose.  In her book, she shares intimately about her journey from an eating disorder to true love and care for her body.  

And, once again what is most personal is actually quite universal, as Julie relates to much of her journey and discussion on shame, resentment, control, and dreaming.  Listen in while waiting for your copy of Butterfly Out!
