    24: Whole30, Social Media and Cookbook Creation with Michelle Smith

    Published: Dec 17, 2018 · Last Updated: Apr 9, 2021 by Jen Lopez

    This week hosts Jen and Bailey chat with Michelle Smith of thewholesmiths.com and @thewholesmiths on Instagram.  Michelle is a full-time blogger, cookbook author and real food fanatic. She shares how she came to find the paleo diet, her first experience with the Whole30 and how it took turning to real food to discover how to heal her body. Michelle touches on how she talks about nutrition in her household and how she practices body positivity and positive self-talk with her daughters.

    Michelle also talks all about life as a full-time blogger and how she turned her blog into a thriving business.  As the author of the very first Whole30 endorsed cookbook, Michelle shares the highs and the very real-life struggles of living out her dream of creating a cookbook. Also discussed are the pros and cons of social media and how Michelle stays authentic in the perfectly curated world of Instagram.
