Today's episode features Elizabeth Snyder's honest humor. Liz is an author, women's portraiture artist, and confidence expert whose work focuses (little photography pun there) on encouraging all humans to find their inner beauty and take pride in who they are. Liz and I range over topics as diverse as the government's role in tearing down women's confidence, our fear at accepting who we are, and thumbs lucky for their wealth.
