Our episode on this hour of the What’s Working Now Podcast brings a unique and, as host Katie Richardson will explain, a highly crucial perspective to entrepreneurs. Join Katie and her guest, “the awesome and the incredible Arabella Blaker-Stevens,” founder of The Arabella Method, a business set on helping you find your physical, emotional, and spiritual balance at its highest. Arabella didn’t let her diagnosis of an “incurable disease” stop her from trying to change her lifestyle for the better, and now her findings are catching fire everywhere. 

Tune into their conversation about the functions of your body and what may be stopping it from functioning properly, how your emotional realignment can open your mind and even the valves of your heart, and how taking time to check in with your intuition will make all the difference between a thriving, healthy lifestyle and endless days of high caffeine and toxic grinding. 

3 Key Takeaways

• Why your body is like a village
• Why intuition is essentially a wise old sage
• Why you should start looking at the way you’re disconnecting yourself
