FEATURED HYDRATION PARTNER | Ladies Link Up

You’ve heard us talk about Rachael Melton before — but this time, we’re putting the spotlight on what she’s bringing to Ladies Link Up: molecular hydrogen water.

Hydration is important. But what if there was another way to look at the water you’re drinking?

Molecular hydrogen water is infused with dissolved hydrogen molecules and has become a growing part of the wellness conversation. Research is exploring its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with possible benefits related to exercise recovery and overall wellness.

And this is exactly the kind of experience we love bringing to Ladies Link Up — something you can experience, learn about, and decide if it belongs in your own wellness routine.

Rachael will be sharing molecular hydrogen water with our community and giving you an opportunity to experience it for yourself.

Whether you’re already into wellness trends or simply curious about what’s next, come thirsty and come curious.

We’re excited to have Rachael back as our Featured Hydration Partner and grateful for her continued support of the Ladies Lifestyle Network community.

Ladies Link Up — connect, discover, support, grow, level all the way UP!

✨ LADIES LINK UP PARTNER SPOTLIGHT ✨

I’m so excited to introduce you to Amber Blair, founder of The Center Stage Beauty Academy in Maryville — and one of the incredible women we’re linking arms with for Ladies Link Up!

Amber is a licensed aesthetician, educator, mentor and entrepreneur who built Center Stage Beauty Academy around something I love so much: helping women build confidence, develop real skills and create careers they’re proud of.

Center Stage isn’t just about beauty education. It’s about mentorship, entrepreneurship, confidence and giving women the tools to step boldly into their next chapter. Amber’s heart for helping women grow makes her such a natural fit for this room. (Center Stage Beauty⁠)

And THAT is exactly what Ladies Link Up is about.

On September 8, we’re bringing together a limited number of local leading ladies for an intimate evening in Pigeon Forge.

Meet Our September Featured Speaker: Shaunda Jones, RN

We are excited to introduce Shaunda Jones, RN, founder of The Burnout Free Nurse, as our featured speaker for our September 8th event - Ladies Link Up

With more than 20 years in nursing, Shaunda knows firsthand what it means to balance a career while carrying the many roles women take on every day. Through speaking, coaching, and honest conversations, she helps women recognize burnout before they hit the wall, set healthier boundaries, and advocate for themselves without sacrificing who they are.

Her September presentation, “Burnout, Boundaries & the Woman Behind the Work,” will be an interactive conversation designed to help women identify what is quietly draining their capacity, get clear about what truly matters, and create boundaries that protect their priorities, peace, and purpose.

And her message is one we think every woman needs to hear:

“You do not have to wait until you are burned out to give yourself permission to set a boundary.” --- WHEW! That carries so much weight!

Shaunda also has a pretty incredible nursing story—her very first nursing job was in a medium-security prison! She talks about learning the importance of communication, confidence, and boundaries early.

We are also honored to shine a light on Shora Foundation - Academic Center a nonprofit that is near and dear to Shaunda's heart and reflects her commitment to supporting and empowering others.

Come meet Shaunda, connect with other incredible women, and leave with practical tools you can actually use in your life and business.

September 8th — you won't want to miss this conversation.
