This week in our podcast, we thought it would be fun to hang out with someone that has been a regular player for five Challenges in a row — but we’ve never actually met in person. Her name is Athena Slavin and she became known to me when in her first Challenge, she became a regular contributor to our forums, not as an expert but as a participant. Since then, she’s become pretty a pretty well-know name in the forums and in our official Facebook group.

In the podcast, Athena shares with us many of the strategies she uses to get the most she can out of the Whole Life Challenge. She talks about how her closet, her weekend , and the people she hangs out with have all changed, as well as how she feels about herself. She has personally seen some amazing, whole-life-changing results from her participation over the years.
