Summary
What overcoming debt taught Elizabeth Benton about mastering life. You've heard Elizabeth Benton of Primal Potential on the show before, but you have not heard this story.
In her own words:
"In my late twenties I embarked on a totally different journey. I was determined to get out of debt. Between my husband and I, we had over $130,000 in student loans and other small, miscellaneous debts. Little did I know that the process of getting out of debt would teach me everything I needed to know to finally tackle my lifelong weight struggles. It’s true. The crazy parallels between paying off $130,000 and losing over 130 pounds are astonishing."
Here’s what getting out of debt taught Elizabeth about life and extreme weight loss.
