They also touch on common health issues in women, such as gut imbalances, low thyroid, and estrogen dominance.    Takeaways Living authentically and in alignment with your true self is crucial for overall well-being. Health is not just the absence of disease, but the presence of optimal feeling and function. Addressing root causes and taking a whole-body approach is essential for healing. Balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic states is important for overall health and well-being. Intuition is a somatic, bodily experience, not a thought process. It is a feeling and sensing that guides us. Healing and optimizing aesthetics go hand in hand. Prioritizing self-care and activities that bring joy and energy can lead to both physical and emotional well-being. Common health issues in women include gut imbalances, low thyroid, and estrogen dominance. Addressing these issues can improve overall health and well-being. Trusting our intuition and following our hearts can lead to making bold moves and living authentically. Feeling and listening to our bodies is essential for tapping into our intuition and making decisions that align with our true selves.     Connect with Rachel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelscheer/ Website: https://rachelscheer.com/ Purchase the book: https://a.co/d/6tp1qp3   Connect with Me  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristy_kuhl/   Linkedin:    https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristy-kuhl-84650b41/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ek5HFItTjLilAT1w4kvNQ   www.kristykuhl.com

You don't have to see the new path from start to finish, you just have to take the first step. Shannon Radel is THE travel agent to over 250 country music artists, labels and management. She shares her journey from small town Minnesota (population 500) to trusting a feeling and moving to Nashville 2 weeks after meeting her now husband. (20+ years together). She then went on to build Rising Star Travel, a prestigious niche travel agency.  She thought to herself, "I can always go back...but if I don't try, I will never know."   What you will hear: How she recognized she was in a controlling relationship and what made her leave her first marriage. What her guiding values are both in life and business.  A love story that is truly made for Hollywood - her husband literally picked her out of a crowd, invited her to a private party and she moved to Nashville 2 weeks later instead of forever wondering, "what if"? What Shannon believes led to her success. What it takes to become a client of hers and what has led to her firing several high-profile artists along the way.  Why she chose to foster children despite the fear of getting her heart broken.   If you are looking for inspiration, motivation, how-to, entertainment and a story that will intrigue you, this interview is for you.  Shannon is always looking for great travel agents to add to her team.
