Because if you tell me or anyone or tell yourself that you want to feel better or you want to release weight, or you want to create peak health for yourself and your family or whatever it is, then you're going to have to change some beliefs that are stopping you from creating the result that you want to create." - Megan We will talk more about the following:Megan's journey to a healthy lifeChanging mindset and beliefsPrioritizing your healthEating plant-based food vs. eating meatAnd so much more!Connect with MeganAlign Wellness Podcast Coaching and Hypnotherapy WebsiteInstagram Send us a text✨👋 Don't forget to subscribe and leave a 5-star review.Send your questions & comments to: info.thewowpodcast@gmail.com You can also share it on your social media and tag me @the.wowpod & @iam.drkaylalucas Thank you so much for being a part of the WOW pod community; until next time!
