Wendy and Adriana explore how implementing a morning practice, even just five minutes of silence, can transform your life by reconnecting you with your intuition. They discuss Adriana's new book "Live Well: Empowering Habits for Vibrant Health and Unstoppable Energy," which outlines her four-pillar approach to health: environment, food, sleep, and movement. Whether you're navigating menopause, burnout, or simply feeling out of sync, this is your invitation to come home to yourself, one choice at a time.
