In this truly moving episode of the HerStory Podcast, Kylie King sits down with Jacalyn Price, affectionately known as the Wise Water Woman. At 73 years young, Jacalyn is a force of nature – an author of 12 books, a business award finalist, and a Kangen water specialist. But her journey hasn’t been easy. Jacalyn shares the harrowing story of how she spent 12 years in a wheelchair following a workplace injury, only to be struck by a taxi in a pedestrian crossing later in life, shattering her dominant arm in six places.
Jacalyn discusses how she used the power of her subconscious mind to reclaim her mobility and manage chronic pain. Today, she is on a mission to hydrate the world with ionized, hydrogen-rich water through Enagic, while simultaneously helping families slash their electricity and NBN bills. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, the importance of a morning gratitude ritual, and proof that your age or physical challenges do not define your potential.
