Podcasts about Breathwork

If you've ever skipped a workout because you “just didn't know what to do” — this episode is for you. We're diving deep into the real reason so many women struggle with consistency when it comes to movement. Spoiler: it's not laziness, lack of willpower, or needing more motivation. It's decision fatigue, nervous system overload, and not having a plan that actually supports your body, energy, and goals. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ The energetics behind planning + why it creates consistency ✨ How prepping your workouts removes guilt, pressure, and overwhelm ✨ 3 pillars of creating an aligned, flexible workout plan ✨ Real-life strategies to make movement feel doable again ✨ Why this is especially important for women healing their core + pelvic floor We also talk about why so many women need more than “just follow this random YouTube video” and how our nervous system craves structure with flexibility. You deserve a plan that meets you where you are — and moves you forward with purpose.

She started out as a massage therapist frustrated by clients who weren't improving, and her curiosity led her deep into the world of lymphatic health. Today, she's one of the most approachable teachers in this space, making complex physiology feel simple, funny, and doable.We unpack what the lymphatic system actually does, why it matters for women's health, and how small, daily actions like breath, movement, touch, and hydration can completely shift how we feel. It's not about gadgets or perfection; it's about reconnecting with what your body already knows how to do, and you'll see why gentle, consistent care beats any quick fix.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:06] How Leah discovered lymphatic work after realizing some clients weren't healing the same way[03:39] What your lymphatic system actually does and why it's essential for immune and detox health[09:36] The daily habits that quietly block lymph flow, and why you should remove them before adding more routines[15:24] The two-minute ‘Big Six' sequence that helps your body clear fluid efficiently[18:04] Why gentle joint movement and bouncing can restore natural circulation without fancy tools[24:12] How to do Leah's five-step facial drainage routine at home, no oils or gadgets required[36:27] Simple fascia-release moves to open the neck and chest for better flow and less tension[44:20] The truth about tattoos, ink buildup, and what it really means for your lymph nodesResources Mentioned:Stop Chasing Pain with Dr. Perry Nicholson | WebsiteThe Big Six Lymphatic Drainage Routine | WebsiteThe Feminine Periodical Newsletter | WebsiteHormone Healing podcast episode on Intro to Lymph Flow with Leah | WebsiteThe Morning Lymph Practice Leah Shares With All My Clients | YoutubePaleovalley Electrolytes (use code HORMONEHEALINGRD10) | WebsiteJoin Leah in her Lymph Love Club Community!Learn about helpful nutrition habits, the different phases of your cycle, how to track, signs of good metabolic health, and so much more in my Free Healthy Period Starter Guide.Find more from Leah:Lymph Love Club | InstagramLymph Love Club | YouTubeLymph Love Club | Head & Neck CourseFind more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok

We live in a world where mirrors multiply — in studios, selfies, and in our own minds. From leggings designed to contour every curve to the endless scroll of “post or it didn't happen,” movement has become something we perform instead of something we feel.In this episode, Adrienne, Natalie, and Nora get real (and a little ridiculous) about gym culture, mirror obsession, and the “booty-era” of social media. But beneath the laughs is a deeper reflection:What happens when the mirror stops showing us who we are and starts showing us who we think we should be?Through the lens of yoga and self-study, we explore how to move from self-display to self-expression — to reclaim movement as something sacred, soulful, and deeply personal. Because just because it looks like you're doing it… doesn't mean you are.Send us a textWanna be on the show?

In this episode, Katie guides you through how yoga, mindfulness, spirituality, and breathwork can help you move beyond the cycle of overwhelm and reconnect with peace in the present moment.Overwhelm often comes from trying to control outcomes, rushing toward the next task, and forgetting our connection to Source. Drawing on yoga philosophy, mindfulness teachings, and insights from Esther Hicks and Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar's Arrival Fallacy, Katie explores how living in constant “doing” energy keeps us disconnected — and how presence brings us back to flow.You'll also experience a guided breathwork practice designed to calm your nervous system and ground you in the now, helping you embody the balance and clarity that yoga calls sattva. Through the lens of spirituality and mindful awareness, you'll learn how to transform chaos into calm and rediscover joy in the journey.

In this transformative episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with holistic life and career coach Susanna Kenyon-Moir to unpack the hidden drivers of burnout, limiting beliefs, and subconscious patterns holding us back. Susanna shares powerful insights from her journey through high-pressure corporate roles into a more aligned, soulful life. Discover how breathwork, NLP, emotional intelligence, and somatic healing can help you reclaim your energy, set boundaries, and shift from fear to action. This conversation invites every overwhelmed achiever to slow down, reconnect, and write a new story. About the Guest:Susanna Kenyon-Moir is a holistic life and career coach, NLP practitioner, and founder of Coaching by Susanna. After 15+ years in leadership roles at Salesforce, Citrix, and VMware, she pivoted to empower professionals to break free from burnout, rewire limiting beliefs, and align their lives through breathwork, emotional intelligence, and subconscious reprogramming. She guides clients worldwide to embrace clarity, purpose, and balance. Key Takeaways: Burnout is often fueled by both external pressures and deep internal patterns. Slowing down isn't weakness—it's essential for clarity, healing, and realignment. Limiting beliefs like “I'm too old” or “I can't afford change” keep high achievers stuck. Awareness, nervous system healing, and rewiring beliefs are key to bold moves. Breathwork, meditation, and somatic practices are powerful tools for releasing fear and restoring energy.

Part 2 of our November Neuroscience for the Neurodivergent Nervous System seriesYour breath is more than air - it's a bridge between worlds.In this week's Mindful Mondays, Ashley Bentley explores the mystical and scientific magic of the breath — how this constant companion connects body and mind, order and chaos, logic and emotion.Through science, story, and spirit, we uncover why the breath is the only part of the autonomic nervous system we can consciously guide — making it both a biological tool for regulation and a spiritual doorway to presence.Ashley shares her own journey through burnout and healing, reflections from Alan Watts on the bridge between the voluntary and involuntary, and insights into how breathing can help regulate the neurodivergent nervous system, ease hypersensitivity, and even calm addiction patterns.This episode also includes a deeply immersive guided breath practice with multiple techniques, woven with vivid visualizations to help you awaken, ground, and return to yourself.“Every breath a teacher. Every exhale a prayer. Every inhale — a return.”❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss two shocking news stories exposing how autistic workers are being used as unpaid labour — ‘volunteering' in supermarkets and retail stores for months or even years, only to be dismissed the moment they ask to be paid.They break down how companies hide exploitation behind charity language and “work experience,” and how vulnerable adults are pressured to feel grateful for opportunities that would be paid roles for anyone else. Jordan and Simon talk about gaslighting, legal rights, and why disabled people are repeatedly told they should expect less — or nothing at all — from employers.Together, they explore:Why Autistic workers are vulnerable to workplace exploitationThe public's belief that disabled people should “just be grateful” to be thereGaslighting, low expectations, and the damage of being told you'll “never achieve anything”How parents and carers are often manipulated into accepting unpaid labour for their Autistic loved onesThe legal reality: taking advantage of a vulnerable person is a crimeWhy these stories matter and how many more are likely happening unseenThis episode is angry, honest, and necessary — shining a light on a system where disabled workers are treated as props, not people. If you work, you deserve to be paid. And if this is happening to you or someone you love, you're not alone — and it needs to be exposed.Our Sponsors:

After a busy season, Carrie is back—and kicking off November with a powerful reset: gratitude. Not the fluffy kind, but the kind that rewires your stress response and supports real, measurable health gains. In this episode, Carrie explains how practicing gratitude can shift your brain out of negativity bias, boost serotonin and dopamine, raise heart-rate variability (hello, parasympathetic “rest-and-digest”), improve sleep quality, ease anxiety, lower blood pressure, and even calm inflammation.You'll get a simple, doable toolkit: the 3-item gratitude journal, “bless your meal” moments to prime digestion, gratitude walks, appreciation notes, a family gratitude jar, breathwork + gratitude stack, and habit-stacking tips (think: journal by the coffee maker, sticky-note prompts, and timed phone reminders). Carrie also shares personal stories that ground the science ~ and invites you to choose one practice to do consistently this week.Perfect for anyone feeling stretched thin, this episode helps you swap the “shoulds” for steady, grace-filled progress.Resources mentioned: The Body Keeps the Score; 5-Minute-style gratitude journals.Connect: Want Carrie's printable Gratitude & Mindfulness Guide?

Today, we're exploring the science of breath — ancient practices meeting modern neuroscience. My guest is Amy Kartar, a neuroscientist and breathwork researcher who's uncovering how high-ventilation breathwork, paired with music, can induce profound altered states of consciousness — the kind once only associated with psychedelics, but completely drug-free. We'll talk about how this practice changes the brain, why it could help people process emotional pain, and how centuries-old spiritual traditions are finally being validated by modern science.

In this powerful episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with former MMA coach and mindset expert, Patrick Sebastien, to explore the art of mental toughness — both inside and outside the ropes.  Drawing from years in the fight world and his work with elite golfers, Patrick unpacks how adversity, flow states, and physical intensity combine to build unshakable confidence and resilience on the golf course. You'll learn how to intentionally seek and use adversity to your advantage, train like an athlete to improve emotional control under pressure, and create your own blueprint for peak performance. Patrick and I dive deep into visualization, breathwork, and post-round reflection as essential tools to develop composure, focus, and self-belief when the stakes are high. In this episode, you'll learn: How to reframe adversity as opportunity and bounce back fast after a blow-up hole (or business setback). Why flow states require struggle first, and how to use challenge to trigger "the zone." A simple gym-to-course formula: create controlled physical stress, then regulate it with breath so pressure feels familiar on the tee. The breath training + visualization sequence Patrick uses pre-round to build calm, focus, and confidence. How to design on-course pressure reps (mini challenges) so tournaments feel like just another rep. How an identity shift ("I am an athlete") unlocks consistency, intensity, and faster scoring gains. The expect/accept model: expect greatness, accept imperfection, and re-engage on the next shot. Ways to calibrate your arousal level (not too calm, not too hyped) to hit your personal performance sweet spot. Whether you're chasing a club championship or your next business milestone, this episode will help you expect greatness — and perform like it. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Adversity creates flow; no struggle, no growth. Great players train adversity before they face it. Physical stress builds emotional control. Fitness isn't optional—it's a performance multiplier. Breathwork bridges chaos and composure. Journaling post-round accelerates learning and awareness. You can't control results—but you can always control your process. Expect greatness, but accept imperfection. Visualization isn't fantasy—it's mental reps for success. Meditation sharpens calm, control, and clarity under pressure. True athletes embrace discomfort and keep expanding their limits. A champion's mindset is forged in the gym before it's displayed on the course. Key Quotes: Adversity is a wake-up call. It's fuel, not failure. Flow only exists because of struggle. Train hard, fight easy. The harder your training, the easier your performance. Physical stress and mental stress present the same way. Learn to master one, and you master both. If you never fail, you're probably not trying hard enough. Expect greatness while accepting less than greatness. The further I went in martial arts, the more peaceful I became. You can't control what the course throws at you, but you can control how you respond. Golfers don't need to become bodybuilders—they need to become athletes. If you don't expect greatness, how will you ever achieve it? The champion's mindset is earned in the gym before it's displayed on the course.

In this episode, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unpacks the mysterious arrival of 3I Atlas, the third confirmed interstellar object to enter our solar system, through a radically different lens—one grounded in eternal life wisdom, DNA activation, and spiritual sovereignty. Rather than reacting with awe, fear, or fascination, Dr. Lee invites listeners to remember who they are and stand firm in their God-Sovereign-Free frequency.From ancient Egyptian worship of "sky gods" to today's spiritual sensationalism, history is repeating itself. But this time, enough souls are awake. Enough have remembered. This episode is a clarion call to anchor your attention inward, reclaim your energy, and realize that your 12-stranded DNA is the ultimate receiver of truth, not some shiny object in the sky.Dr. Lee explores the true energetic architecture behind 3I Atlas—how it mirrors our inner frequency, tests our resonance, and seeks only the attention we are willing to give. Are we chasing distraction disguised as divinity? Or are we rooted in stillness, clarity, and remembrance?This is not about alien contact. This is about YOU.You are the sun. You are the signal. You are who you've been waiting for.Sacred Truths & Lessons from This Episode:• Your DNA Is the Ultimate Technology• Attention Is the New Currency—Guard It Well• Discernment - Distraction in Times of Amplified Frequencies• There Is No Savior Coming—Because You Already Are That• False Light Often Comes Wrapped in Urgency, Awe & Confusion• Eternal Life Codes Anchor Stillness Amid Cosmic Chaos

Aditi Bhalla's story reads like a cautionary tale about high achievement. A specialist prosthodontist who ticked every box—academic success, specialist training, teaching positions—she found herself breaking down in surgery in 2018, asking the question so many high achievers eventually face: is this it? After developing De Quervain's tenosynovitis from repetitive movements and stress, Aditi was forced to step away from dentistry. What followed was an unexpected journey into spirituality, meditation, and ultimately, retraining as an integrative psychotherapist. Now she works predominantly with dentists and other professionals who've achieved everything they thought they wanted but still feel lost, anxious, and burnt out. Her transformation from perfectionist dentist to spiritual guide offers a roadmap for those struggling with the same questions she once faced.In This Episode00:02:15 - High achievers feeling lost 00:03:10 - The perfectionism plateau 00:04:10 - Growing up as the brainy kid 00:06:35 - School captain to dental specialist 00:08:15 - Choosing prosthodontics 00:10:20 - Breaking down in surgery 00:11:45 - Discovering spirituality 00:14:30 - The spiritual awakening path 00:21:00 - Retraining as a psychotherapist 00:28:00 - Meditation fundamentals 00:32:25 - Breathwork techniques 00:42:00 - Self-compassion versus weakness 00:44:00 - Contentment and ambition coexisting 00:46:20 - The wrist injury that changed everything 00:57:15 - Therapy versus dentistry 01:00:00 - Understanding spirituality 01:03:10 - Blackbox thinking 01:12:10 - The Wellbeing Hub 01:14:35 - Fantasy dinner party 01:16:20 - Last days and legacyAbout Aditi BhallaAditi is a former specialist prosthodontist who trained in India before completing her specialist training at King's College London. She lectured for both King's and Health Education England, teaching occlusion and toothwear, whilst working in multiple practices across the Southeast. After developing Dequervain's tenosynovitis—a repetitive strain injury that left her unable to continue clinical work—she embarked on a spiritual journey that transformed her career. Now an integrative psychotherapist, life coach, and wellness advocate, she works predominantly with dentists, bankers, and medical professionals experiencing burnout and existential questioning despite their professional success.

Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist Erica Hornthal (“The Therapist Who Moves You”) joins Aaron to explain how changing the way we move changes the way we feel. Recorded on November 3, 2025, the conversation grounds movement therapy in the realities of Chicagoland life: financial pressure, screen-driven immobility, community trauma in Highland Park, and heightened anxiety around recent ICE activity across the North Shore. Erica shares practical, accessible ways to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and communicate nonverbally when words are not enough.Key TakeawaysMovement is already part of therapy: posture shifts, breathing, pacing, and small gestures can be therapeutic starting points.We have “out-evolved” our natural instinct to move; immobility amplifies anxiety.Stressors show up differently across communities. Whether it is public-safety trauma or fear tied to immigration enforcement, the body stores that stress.You can change your state by changing your movement, even with simple, seated interventions.Nonverbal work helps couples and families de-escalate conflict and build empathy.Parents can meet kids' energy with movement rather than suppression, then teach time-and-place skills.Research supports dance and movement as effective for anxiety and depression; therapy fit and relationship still matter most.Practical access: look for “somatic,” “body-oriented,” or “creative arts therapy” in your area; insurance coverage depends on the clinician's license.Timestamps00:00 Intro to Erica and dance/movement therapy02:00 What movement therapy looks like in practice04:50 Why Erica wrote “BodyTalk” and how readers use it08:15 Why we feel so stressed today, and how immobility feeds anxiety10:45 Local context: Highland Park trauma and recent ICE activity on the North Shore12:30 Changing movement to change mood and cognition15:15 Treating the “snake bite” before debating the “why”16:00 Individual vs group work, and what movement builds between people17:35 Getting over discomfort and starting small20:40 A simple intervention: washing hands slowly to interrupt anxiety22:20 Working across ages: from 3 to 10726:15 Coaching kids and meeting their movement needs31:30 Nonverbal communication in relationships and negotiations35:00 “Embodied listening” and the limits of AI for mental health39:30 Walks, showers, and why ideas arrive during movement42:00 Using your body as a free mental health resource43:00 Finding somatic or creative arts therapists and dealing with insurance46:45 What the research says about dance, anxiety, and depression49:00 Where to find Erica and her books50:00 ClosingPractical Exercises MentionedSeated reset: notice shoulders, jaw, feet; slow your breath and lengthen exhale.Pattern interrupt: pick one daily action and do it slowly for 20 seconds (example: handwashing) to downshift intensity.Conflict pause: step outside or to separate corners, walk, then reconvene.With kids: “shake out the wiggles,” go outside for 60 seconds, then return.GuestErica Hornthal, LCPC, BC-DMTFounder and CEO, Chicago Dance TherapyAuthor of BodyTalk, Body Aware, and The Movement Therapy DeckWebsite: https://www.ericahornthal.comPractice: https://www.chicagodancetherapy.comInstagram: @thetherapistwhomovesyouEmail: erica@hornthal.comResources MentionedBodyTalk: 365 Gentle Practices to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your BodyBody AwareThe Movement Therapy DeckSearch terms for local care: “somatic therapy,” “body-oriented therapy,” “creative arts therapy,” “dance movement therapy,” plus your city.For Listeners in ChicagolandIf anxiety has spiked for you or your family due to recent events in the region, consider brief, daily movement check-ins.

Learning the language of safety, connection, and calm for the neurodivergent brain and body.This week, we begin a brand new series - November Neuroscience for The Neurodivergent Nervous System.Our journey starts with the foundation of it all: your nervous system — the hidden ladder within that shapes how you experience the world.We'll explore how your body's three main states — rest, activation, and shutdown — form a living map of safety and survival.For neurodivergent minds and bodies, this ladder is often more sensitive, more reactive, and more beautifully complex. You'll learn how your sensory world, your emotions, and your energy are all guided by this internal rhythm — and how understanding it is the key to self-regulation and healing.Through neuroscience, lived experience, and a deeply moving guided meditation, you'll learn how to climb the ladder with awareness, presence, and compassion — returning again and again to your calm, connected state.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

In this Halloween edition of The Hot Topic, Jordan James and Simon Scott delve into why many autistic and ADHD individuals are drawn to horror — from jump scares and haunted houses to true crime and the works of Stephen King.They unpack the neuroscience and psychology behind the connection between fear, curiosity, and regulation, and why being safely scared can be surprisingly calming for neurodivergent minds. Drawing on personal stories and pop culture, Jordan and Simon discuss how horror offers a sense of control, catharsis, and community — and why dark stories can feel oddly comforting.Together, they explore:Why the autistic and ADHD brain may find “safe fear” regulatingThe dopamine and sensory connection behind horror fascinationHow pattern recognition and empathy draw neurodivergent people to dark storiesHorror as a mirror for survival, belonging, and identityWhy horror icons and underdogs often resonate with neurodivergent audiencesWith humour and honesty, this episode celebrates spooky season through a neurodivergent lens — proving that sometimes, what scares us most can also make us feel most alive.Our Sponsors:

If you've ever done a million different hip stretches and gotten all the massages, but still having issues with hip tightness — Or had a pain (literally) in the butt that just wont go away…. this episode is for you.

Sometimes the smallest things create the biggest shift. Lately, I've been reminded how something as simple as breathing, something we do automatically, can completely change how we feel. It's easy to forget that breath is both instinct and invitation. When I guide a yoga class or begin a shamanic reiki session, I always start with three unifying breaths. Each one feels like a soft landing, a way to come home to myself before I do anything else. It's a quiet reminder that calm isn't something we chase; it's something we breathe into being. Let's take a moment to breathe together now: The first breath will be a nourishing breath. Inhale deeply, exhale, let it out. The second breath will be a cleansing breath. Inhale deeply, exhale, let it out. And the last breath will be a rejuvenating breath. Inhale deeply, exhale, let it out. Then, just settle back into the natural rhythm of your own breath. On this Wise Walk, we'll look at how intentional breathing can nourish and even rewire your nervous system. We'll pause long enough to notice when we hold our breath, especially in those moments when life feels a bit too fast or too heavy. And we'll experiment with simple ways to release that tension, like box breathing or the 4-7-8 rhythm, so the body can find its own natural balance again. So as you walk, breathe, and listen, see if you can feel how each inhale steadies you and each exhale clears space for a calmer, more connected you. Do you notice the natural rhythm of your breath, or do you sometimes catch yourself holding it without realizing? When stress or anticipation builds, can you sense the moment your breath becomes shallow or tight? How does it feel when you pause and guide your breath back to a slower, steadier rhythm? Can you sense the shifts in your body as your breath begins to calm your nervous system? What practices help you stay connected to your breath when life feels fast or heavy? When you feel tension rise, how can you use your breath to bring yourself back to balance? How can you create time and space in your day to practice deep, intentional breathing that nourishes and restores you? As you move through the rest of your day, notice the moments when you can come back to your breath. Let it steady you. Let it clear space for calm, connection, and whatever comes next. I hope this Wise Walk reminded you that your breath is both your anchor and your reset button. Until next Thursday, keep tuning in, breathing deeply, and honoring the rhythm that keeps you aligned with your heart and your True Stride. In this episode: [04:40] There have been times in my life where I certainly catch myself holding my breath. [05:37] What I love about the three unifying breaths is that three deep breaths resets the nervous system. [06:12] There is scientific backing that supports this. Deep breathing will rewire our nervous systems. [07:21] I also catch myself holding my breath during a deep tissue massage. Breathwork can help us breathe through stress and cleanse. [08:25] The box breath is on counts of four. You inhale for a count of four. Then you hold for a count of four. Exhale for a count of four. Hold for a count of four. Repeat. [09:18] Being intentional about rewiring our nervous system is a great skill for all of us to have. [10:34] Box breathing is a beautiful rhythmic structure that gives us focus. [11:59] Breath work is always a focus like when we exercise. [12:41] You could also try the 4-7-8 practice. Inhale for four breaths. Hold for seven. Exhale for eight. [15:20] Scan your body to see how these practices help you. Memorable Quotes: "Every time we take three deep breaths, we give our nervous system a chance to reset." - Mary Tess "When we hold our breath, we hold tension. When we breathe deeply, we create space for ease." - Mary Tess "Breathwork is a bridge between the body and the mind. It reconnects what stress tries to separate." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Send Us a Message!What if six simple breaths could flip your system from scattered to centered and prime your body for real energetic change? Christine Renee explores how intentional breathing supports Shamanic Reiki—from using the exhale to help clients release stagnant energy to a full microcosmic orbit practice that “power washes” your chakras with focus and care. She then maps the microcosmic orbit: inhale up the back, exhale down the front, visualize a Reiki energy ball tracing the loop, and add gentle locks at the palate and root to concentrate flow. Layer in earth energy from below and source from above, and the circuit becomes a steady river rather than a trickle. Then bring in Tantra's three keys—breath, movement, and sound—to soften rigid form into living practice. Undulate the spine to recruit the fascia, voice the exhale to free the throat, and let intention lead. Whether you're working solo, with a client, or with a partner, this approach meets you where you are and moves what's ready to move.In this episode, we explore:• Six-breath centering for release and tuning• Matching breath with clients to invite participation• Throat center as primary exit pathway• Case study of hip pain and emotional release• Microcosmic orbit explained with energy ball focus• Adding movement and sound to deepen flow• Transitioning from structured form to fluid tantra• Masterclass details and free webinar invitationReady to take it deeper?

As I explore the significance of breath, I highlight it as a fundamental, yet often overlooked, tool for achieving a state of tranquility and balance within our bodies and minds. Drawing inspiration from James Nestor's enlightening book, "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art," I emphasize how the way we breathe can dramatically influence our overall well-being.Throughout the discussion, I unpack the automatic nature of breathing and how our typical patterns can betray us, especially in moments of anxiety. When we are overwhelmed, it's common for our breathing to become shallow and rapid, sending distress signals to our brain and maintaining a state of hyperarousal. I reflect on my own journey of discovering the benefits of long, slow exhalations and conscious breathing, which not only transformed my personal anxiety management but also allowed me to assist others in making similar changes.I stress the importance of breathing through the nose, as highlighted by Nestor, reclaiming what he describes as the "lost art of breathing." I detail the physiological benefits of proper nasal breathing — it calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic response, ensuring that our bodies can transition to rest and digest mode. Practical exercises are woven throughout the episode, allowing listeners to engage with their breath in real time, guiding them away from stress and towards a newfound sense of safety.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #Breathwork, #AnxietyRelief, #NervousSystem, #MindBody, #JamesNestor, #BreathTheNewScienceOfALostArt, #NasalBreathing, #SlowBreathing, #Calm #Mindfulness, #RelaxationTechniques, #VagusNerve, #SelfCompassion, #HealthAndWellness, #StressManagement, #ConsciousBreathing, #RestAndDigest, #AnxietySucks, #BreathingExercises, #ReduceStress, #PodcastLife, #DailyPractice, #InhaleExhale, #InnerPeace, #EmotionalHealth, #MentalWellness, #NaturalCalm, #ResetButton #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with Dan Brulé, one of the world's leading breathwork pioneers and author of Just Breathe, to uncover the true power hidden in something we all do every day: breathing. With over five decades of experience teaching conscious breathwork to Navy SEALs, elite performers, and spiritual seekers alike, Dan shares how mastering the breath can transform your body, emotions, and connection to God. Together, Frank and Dan explore how something as simple as breathing with awareness can reduce anxiety, heal trauma, improve focus, and unlock the presence of the Holy Spirit in your daily life. If you've ever struggled with stress, burnout, or emotional reactivity, or if you're simply looking for a deeper way to live, the wisdom in this conversation will show you how to pause, breathe, and step into a more powerful state of being. Key Takeaways Breathwork is simpler and more accessible than most people think. Conscious awareness of the breath deepens emotional regulation and clarity. Every breath is an opportunity to reconnect body, mind, and spirit. Integrating breathwork with fitness, prayer, or meditation multiplies results. Daily breath rituals improve sleep, recovery, and resilience under pressure. High performers use breath control to stay calm, focused, and intentional. Awareness of breath opens deeper heart connection and body intelligence. The science of breathing reveals how it impacts energy, hormones, and sleep. Living a "superhuman life" means using your breath to fuel passion, growth, and impact. Featured Guest Dan Brulé is a world-renowned expert in the art and science of breathwork. A former U.S. Navy diver and author of the international bestseller Just Breathe, Dan has trained more than 250,000 people in over 60 countries, including elite military units, Olympic athletes, and top executives. His mission is to help people use conscious breathing as a tool for healing, performance, and spiritual awakening.

Chronic stress and burnout are epidemic among entrepreneurs and high-achievers. In 2025, prioritizing nervous system regulation isn't just wellness - it's essential for sustainable business success and mental health. After experiencing the physical toll of chronic stress and high cortisol, I'm sharing my journey to healing and the practical steps that are transforming my health. I've made it my mission to regulate my nervous system. I want to feel better. I took the first step in this mission by scheduling an appointment with a naturopathic doctor. She did a deep dive into my bloodwork and, sure enough, red flags were everywhere. She asked me if I felt tired. My answer was yes, but I still continue to get everything done. Even thinking that makes me sad. It meant that I would make sure all the work and everyone else was taken care of before myself. I've operated like that for so long that it's going to take more than just a couple of months of intention to change. But that's okay, I'm committed to it. In this episode, I'm sharing my current journey to a regulated nervous system, why our nervous systems matter and some of the habits I've built to become more regulated. If you struggle with excess stress, high cortisol and unwanted anxiety, I hope my story encourages you to regulate your nervous system as well!   Nervous system regulation techniques you'll learn: Warning signs of chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation Why entrepreneurs are at higher risk for burnout and anxiety Practical breathing exercises for immediate stress relief How nature therapy reduces cortisol and improves mood Building sustainable self-care habits for long-term health The connection between physical health and business performance   High-achieving women and entrepreneurs often sacrifice their health for productivity. This episode bridges the gap between wellness and business success, showing how nervous system regulation actually enhances performance while preventing burnout. If you're tired but keep pushing through, prioritize everyone else before yourself, or feel like you're running on empty - this episode is your permission slip to prioritize your nervous system.   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:00] Health Wake-Up Call: Raya shares that things got so bad with her health that she ended up seeking out help from multiple professionals.
