126. Taking Back Your Wellness for the Health of Your Business with Wendy Hill - a podcast by Amber Hawley

Entrepreneurs are pulled in so many directions, but taking care of ourselves should be our number one priority. Because when we’re not feeling good, we can’t be there for our business or our family.

 

If you’re a woman of a certain age, you might not be feeling yourself. Hormones, lack of sleep, and even being off on nutrition and exercise can contribute to feeling unwell. Together, these can compound into multiple health issues.

 

I’ve been feeling it and I’ve been hearing from friends and clients who are feeling it too. So I wanted to chat with Wendy Hill, this week’s podcast guest, to find out how we can start taking back our wellness…a few little changes at a time.

 

Listen in to learn what changes you can make to get the most health benefits, why being kind to yourself is key, and why planning and sustainability should be part of your health routine.
