The Importance of Rest and Self-Care to Heal and Restore

The Importance of Rest & Self-Care to Heal and Restore

Welcome to the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show! I’m your host, Annemarie Cross, and in today’s episode, I’m sharing a very personal update. I recently took a break from podcasting after life threw us a serious curveball—my husband’s health took a turn, leading us on an unexpected journey of discovery. We learned that his health issues were linked to mercury toxicity from dental fillings, and we began exploring naturopathy for detox and overall wellness.

But that wasn’t all. Along the way, I discovered that I, too, suffer from EMF sensitivity, which sparked a deeper interest in herbal medicine. I’ve even started growing my own herbal remedies and launched a new brand called Restore Rophe, dedicated to creating natural products for healing.

In this episode, I’ll take you behind the scenes of our holistic health journey, share the launch of my new business ventures, and discuss how we’re helping coaches and consultants increase their visibility and attract more clients. Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek at the Industry Thought Leader Technologies launching in 2025—a game-changer for streamlining business operations.

So, grab a cup of tea and join me as I explore the power of a unique, authentic message, the importance of self-care, and how blending natural remedies with professional expertise can truly make a difference in our lives and businesses.

It’s all happening right here on the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show!!

Here are 3 Key Takeaways from her latest episode:

Holistic Health and Wellness: Our family's battle with mercury toxicity led me to delve deep into herbal medicine and holistic remedies.
