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

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

Welcome to The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast! I’m your host, Annemarie Cross, and today, I’m sharing a deeply personal update. This episode was originally published on the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show three weeks ago, but the journey I’m about to share is one that I know will resonate deeply with this audience as well.

After stepping away from podcasting for a while, life took us on an unexpected path – one that completely transformed our approach to health and wellness. It began when my husband’s health took a serious turn, and we discovered that his struggles were linked to mercury toxicity from dental fillings. This led us to explore naturopathy, detoxification, and holistic healing.

But that wasn’t the only revelation. Along the way, I learned that I, too, have EMF sensitivity, which sparked a passion for herbal medicine. This journey led me to start growing my own herbal remedies and launch Restore Rophe, a brand dedicated to natural healing solutions.

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

So, grab a cup of tea and join me as we dive into the power of an authentic message, the importance of self-care, and how faith, natural healing, and business expertise can come together to create lasting impact.

It’s all happening right here on The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast!

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. I've even started my own garden and launched a brand of herbal teas called “Restore Rophe.” Emphasizing the healing properties of nature aligns closely with my Christian beliefs, and I urge everyone to consult open-minded health professionals for a balanced approach to wellness.

Empowering Entrepreneurs with Technology: I've partnered with a U.S.-based business to create Industry Thought Leader Technologies, an all-in-one platform for coaches and consultants. This robust system includes CRM, automated emails, a calendar system, and more, aimed at helping businesses scale efficiently and effectively. Stay tuned for the full launch in 2025

Visibility and Authority: For those feeling underrecognized despite their expertise, I've developed free training and resources to help you build a unique, memorable brand and nurture podcast listeners into leads. Our aim is to position you as a trusted authority in your industry.
