Today, we have Meghan Ruel, a violinist and certified personal trainer that specializes in musicians. Like many musicians, her music journey started early in her childhood. Despite adversity, music provided her an avenue for self-expression. However, it was the opportunities she had growing up and support of teachers and mentors that fueled her desire to serve others. In this episode, we discuss the birth of her passion for fitness and health during her undergraduate years and desire to help others practice self-care and be more efficient.⁣
