Quitting Pro Cycling To Follow Her Real Path - Shannon Malseed
Shannon Malseed is a remarkable individual who has taken the leap from being a professional cyclist with one of the biggest teams in the world to forging her own path. For some, cycling is the ultimate dream, but Shannon realised it wasn't hers, and she made the brave choice to follow her true calling.
Today, she’s an advocate for living a ‘Limitless’ life, empowering others to break down self-imposed barriers and unlock their true potential. Shannon delves deep into emotional and energetic blocks that could be affecting your health and happiness as you age.
Shannon's insights offer us a blueprint for breaking free from the limitations that hold us back, something that I know will resonate with many of you who have spent years focused on career and family, and sometimes that comes at the expense of your own well-being.
