Studies have shown that controlled breathing strengthens the respiratory muscles and increases lung capacity. Deep breathing improves cognitive functions and testosterone levels, which decline as men age. Breathwork has additional physiological and mental benefits that we will discuss in this episode.I'll share my experience with breathwork, including how power breathing techniques helped me recover from cryptogenic organizing pneumonia that had me on a deathbed. I'll explain the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how breathwork can help activate the body's natural parasympathetic response. We'll focus on diaphragmatic and deep breathing techniques and their benefits. I will also provide practical tips on incorporating these breathing techniques into your daily routine. However, the best way to learn and implement breathwork properly is through guided breathing sessions.My 21-day breathwork program will help you implement breathing techniques consistently for optimal health and recovery. Tune in to learn the full benefits of breathwork and for further details on the breathwork program.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Over 40 Alpha Podcast02:46 Funk's experience with breathwork15:19 The science behind breathwork 20:06 Practical applications of breathwork 25:33 Benefits of diaphragmatic and deep breathing29:29 The impact of breathwork on mental health33:20 How breathwork affects hormonal, cardiac, and cognitive functions36:57 Implementing diaphragmatic and deep breathing42:06 Daily breathwork practices50:13 Power breathing techniques54:24 Overcoming self-sabotage on the journey to wellnessJoin the 21-Day Breathwork Program:http://www.over40shred.com/breathworkSubscribe and Listen on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channel: www.over40alphapodcast.comYour support of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast helps to spread the word and ultimatelychange the lives of men worldwide over 40, 50, and 60 who struggle with health and fitness.I want to give a MASSIVE thanks to everyone stepping up and leaving 5-star reviews.Please Review and Share the Podcast Here:Drop that 5-star review.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685Connect with Funk Roberts: Website -  https://www.over40alpha.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessFunk's book ‘Nutrition for Men Over 40' - www.over40meals.com

The simple act of breathing is much more complex than you may realize. We just simply take it for granted.Crossing cultural boundaries and spanning as far back as you could imagine, breath has been revered as the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. From the yogic pranayama of ancient India to the rhythmic chants in Native American ceremonies, breath has always been harnessed as a catalyst for transformation and connection. Scientific studies are piling up that unravel the profound physiological, psychological,  emotional and spiritual benefits of conscious breathing. It's a resilient and multifaceted practice that has found its place as a revolutionary tool for healing and enhanced well-being in the modern world. After experiencing immediate breakthroughs in just one class, Clairannoyance co-hosts Megan and Ryan sat down with world renowned breathwork instructor Jon Paul Crimi to learn more about his background and unique approach. Jon Paul infuses his contagious, unabashed personality into his work while paying great respect to breathwork as an ancient practice. His no-nonsense attitude both in and out of class is rare to find; he is not your stereotypical New Age teacher, and this is not a "woo woo" class. (Which is to say, this is a gold star standard for Clairannoyance.)Tune in as Megan and Ryan share about their consciousness-altering breathwork experience, learn from Jon Paul about his unique style of "conscious connected breathing" or "circular breathing," and discover all sorts of unexpected bits of wisdom, like why you should never hand a tissue to someone who is crying. Let them ugly cry. If they want the tissue they'll get it!In all seriousness, we do not endorse lightly. This is the only breathwork instructor we could image going to. We are immediately incorporating breathwork into our routine. Please consider signing up for a class (more info below). If you're currently breathing, you need to see what you're missing out on. About Jon Paul CrimiOriginally from Boston, in his early 20s Jon Paul Crimi moved to Los Angeles and quickly became one of the most sought-after celebrity trainers and sober coaches in the country. Unexpectedly, he found himself in a breathwork class and had a massive transformation that first time. Knowing he had to share this technique, he not only began teaching breathwork, but developed his own unique style and quickly began selling out breathwork classes all over Los Angeles. Jon Paul currently resides in Bend, Oregon with his wife and two children but returns monthly to Los Angeles to teach sold-out breathwork classes and workshops, as well as lead his in-demand Breathwork Teacher Trainings. What makes Jon Paul Crimi stand apart is his east coast no-nonsense approach. He has removed the “New Agey” aspects of breathwork, and now private companies and organizations are filling his calendar. CEOs and the “Forbes set” have found themselves in his classes and have hired him to teach breathwork to their employees. Jon Paul has broadened his classes to include customized workshops and corporate retreats for groups all over the United States. Jon Paul has appeared on Good Morning America and has been featured in The Huffington Post and The Hollywood Reporter. You can find him on countless talk shows and podcasts both in the United States and around the world, as he continues his work to make breathwork more accessible and mainstream. Jon Paul believes everyone can benefit from this practice, and he has Olympians as well as Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners to prove it. Witnessing people visibly transform, often after just one breathwork session, is why he greets each day excited to turn people towards their most authentic selves and he has made it his life work to reach as many people as possible.Connect with Jon PaulSIGN UP FOR HIS CLASSES HERE!

The breath found me. My philosophy around breathwork is that it is opening us up to be conduits for life, love, and spirit to flow through us. - Gwen Payne Are You Stressed Out Lately?

What actually blocks people from letting go of their stress, anxiety, and negative emotions? By the end of this episode, you will have a full understanding of how ancient breathwork turns your body into a conduit for healing depression and generational pain. Listen To Episode 471 As Gwen Payne Uncovers: [1:30] What's Blocking Our Ability to Move Past Anxiety? Gwen Payne Inspired Sedona Gwen's Gift to You! How Josh and Gwen met for the first time in Sedona, Arizona when he went there to do a training with Carrie. What it's been like for Gwen to be back in Austin, Texas after about 40 years since she last visited it. The fact that Gwen was actually conceived in Austin and that's why it felt like home for her when she visited it in 1983. Unpacking how we can allow ourselves to be and feel more free in our skin. How growing up in a Mediterranean culture where differences are celebrated allows Gwen to see how homogenous American culture and identity are all over the country. What Gwen's 'Breath is Prayer' medicine is and how it helped Josh let go of held-back emotions. Why experience is vital if you're going to facilitate and hold space as you lead a breathwork ceremony. The fact that the average adult is only using 30% of their lung capacity. Why sometimes people are so triggered and afraid by the idea of doing the inner work that they don't even begin it. Exploring the deeply embedded thought in our psyche that everything we need is outside of ourselves when that isn't true. Why we are so afraid to authentically express ourselves out of fear of being punished. [10:40] The Core of Behavioral Dysfunction What microtrauma is and how Josh did it to himself when he would watch porn or not speak his truth when he was a child. Why energy from trauma doesn't just go away; it transmutes. Unpacking the core of dysfunction: being out of alignment with our natural way of being. Why freedom is something that we already have and how we can unblock ourselves to obtain it. The moments of freedom that Gwen has experienced and witnessed in others while doing breathwork. Why just doing breathwork is not enough; the release it gives us is fleeting and so it must be practiced consistently to help us feel free and in alignment. The fact that it takes 90 seconds for an emotion to move through us + what it is about our psyche that blocks them. Going beyond the intellectualization of our healing to focus on somatic healing. 249 SOMA Breath For Less Stress: Niraj Naik 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Why Gwen was the only breathwork teacher that made Josh feel like he could teach other people. [20:00] The Art of the Breath: What Skills a Facilitator Needs What to expect when working with Gwen both in groups and private sessions. The embodied learning that people go through when they do Gwen's breathwork facilitator program. Differences between feeling ready to practice breathwork compared to facilitating a session. What the best training she ever did was and why she did trainings for 3.5 years before becoming a facilitator. The Passion Test by Janet Bray Attwood - The Passion Test Common breathing mistakes we're making without even realizing it including holding our breath (especially exhales) for extended periods of time. The fact that more and more people are turning to breathwork as we experience more stress as a collective. How to go about selecting a breathwork program according to Gwen. Why it's so important to be a facilitator who creates such a safe space for participants that no matter what comes up, they can be there and support the people participating in the session. What usually comes up for people when they do breathwork and why trauma is present in various ways from crying and shaking to laughter or coughing. Gwen's own intense breathwork moment with a client and why it could've been an ego stripping or something from his past being let go. [34:20] We'll Always Be a Student of Life Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom The best way to use breath to assist an emotion as it makes its way through the body in 90 seconds. Why having an open mouth during breathwork makes such a difference because there is a lot of control held within the jaw. The fact that we can never fully become a master at anything until we accept that we are a student. Gwen's thirst for always growing, learning, and becoming an even better breathwork facilitator and trainer. Her experience growing up in North Africa in an atheist/agnostic household and why it was the most educational and informative experience for her. Why both Josh and Gwen feel like they didn't find the power of breathwork, it found them. The fact that Gwen's great aunt was a spiritual teacher ever since her early 20s and how that influenced her mother. What a Sufi retreat is and what most people get wrong about sufism. Where and when Gwen was first introduced to breathwork for the first time in her life. [45:00] How to Listen to Your Own Authentic Guidance System Gwen's experience attending Stanford and the pressure she felt to go since her parents both went there and chose the professor career route. The trauma that Gwen experienced in her upbringing and why being there with her parents while they were in hospice impacted her heart the most and that's when she really found her grit. Her experience being a single mother and fighting for her children in different ways. How breathwork and other inner work practices have helped her shift her trauma and difficult experiences into something that has made her stronger. Why she strongly believes that we all need mentors and even multiple ones to help us develop. Paleo(Fx) Who she turned to for help and support when she didn't receive that from her family. Why a person cannot do something like what Gwen does without going through a continuous healing process themselves. [55:30] The Breath is Prayer Experience 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn't Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born The vomiting response Josh had during a breathing ceremony that Gwen guided the night before and why he believes that happened. What to expect during a Breath is Prayer experience with Gwen. Why it's not uncommon for people to feel nauseous, dizzy, or even feel the need to go to the bathroom during a breathwork ceremony. The fact that Josh is still feeling the powerful medicine from last night's breathwork practice. How deep early childhood programming leads to our subconscious not wanting to feel and unpack our emotions, especially those we need to heal. [1:01:00] Why Death Can be Our Greatest Advisor Exploring the concept of death and how sometimes Josh and Gwen have experienced unique "death-like" out-of-body sensations during breathwork and for Josh also Ayahuasca ceremonies. Why the idea of death as her advisor has been a philosophy for Gwen for many years. The powerful exercise she did in which she was told death was coming and she had to prepare by writing letters to people and her own will. Lessons that death has taught her about how to be and live her life. How her grandmother's illness with polio and needing to walk with crutches showed up for Gwen in her epigenetics, beliefs, and healing journey. The deeply imprinted belief Gwen had at one point that she could not trust life. Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine by Candace B. Pert The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton How Family Constellations has expanded to the Systemic as well (such as the soul of a business for example) or the Collective to find out where energy is being blocked or not properly healed. [1:10:00] How Breath Exposes What's Already There Mindbody University What fascinated Gwen about breathwork the most to become a facilitator. How she has combined breathwork with the passion test, hypnotherapy, and epigenetic trauma. The incredible fact that we are breathing the same breath that our ancestors did. How you can combine breathwork with other healing modalities such as Family Constellations. The power of just doing a regular if not daily 3-10 minute breathwork practice. Gwen's powerful practice that she always does at the end of each of her own breathwork practices. Why Gwen says that "Breathwork doesn't bring anything new, it just exposes what's already there." Gwen's gift to the audience including an online breathwork ceremony recording. What Gwen believes is the meaning of her being a breathwork facilitator and life coach in Sedona. Why she believes we should all be striving to be the most authentic version of ourselves. The fact that it's just so much easier to trust a healer who is open about what they themselves are working on like in Gwen's case. What wellness means for Gwen with all of her life and work experiences. Power Quotes From The Show Letting Go of Our Collective Fear of Emotion "Collectively, we have such a profound fear of emotions. If people were to really go in and sort of take a magnifying glass approach at some of the beliefs that they hold in their body that have been imprinted on them, not that they consciously think these thoughts but they have them: 'If I feel this I will die,' or 'If I feel this I will go crazy,' or 'If I feel this I will never come back from it,' and on and on. So, people just fight it tooth and nail and the truth of the matter is if we could open up and allow that energy to flow through us, it's pretty easy. It might be intense but it's pretty easy." - Gwen Payne We're Only Using 30% of Our Lung's Capacity on Average "Do you know how little people are breathing? 30% is what the average American adult is said to breathe of their functional lung capacity. Only 30% is essentially starvation mode for the cells of your body and for your brain. You are literally living in survival mode and I don't think as a society we can help but feel anxious and depressed. If there is one thing I would encourage people to do, it's to breathe more." - Gwen Payne How Breathwork Unlocks Our Essential Nature "In breathwork, one of the things that I find so impactful is that concepts become viscerally experienced, and then it's an embodiment. In that moment of embodiment, there's nothing else that we're focusing on outside of ourselves; nothing. It's part of our essential nature. Those are the moments of freedom that I have experienced and witnessed in others. It's an experience of tuning the world out and letting go of what energies we have been carrying, releasing, bringing our attention inwards, and only then can we really experience that freedom." - Gwen Payne Links From Today's Show  Inspired Sedona Gwen's Gift to You! 249 SOMA Breath For Less Stress: Niraj Naik 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential The Passion Test by Janet Bray Attwood - The Passion Test Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Paleo(Fx) 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn't Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine by Candace B.

Gwen was born in Italy, grew up in Tunisia, and attending boarding schools in Europe throughout high school before moving to United States to attend Stanford University. Gwen credits her diversity and cultural experiences as the most formative education of her life – one that provided her unique vision and perspective upon which she draws in her work.   Gwen's Passion for Breathwork At the age of 21, Gwen stumbled across breathwork when she took part in her for spiritual retreat. She has remained passionate about it ever since. When she found a breathwork school years later, it's solidified her journey with the breath and her calling to share its power.

(Lesley: Yeah) So let us know.Yeah, we're I'm, I just I can't wait to see who else signed up for that we're already pretty much half filled, or at least at the time of recording this actually, we could be filled by the time you hear this. So ...Brad Crowell 3:00  That's also true.Lesley Logan 3:04  Lesley: That's also true. (Brad laughs) But the people ...Brad Crowell 3:09  In that case, get on the waitlist.Lesley Logan 3:11  Yeah, the people who have signed up already that I'm just like, I can't even wait to have them here and like, get my hands on them and their business and in all the best ways, all the good ways. So what is our audience question?Brad Crowell 3:24  This is a fun one. So if you haven't heard Erika Quest has been coaching inside of Agency. (Lesley: Mm-hmm) And she only makes her coaching available inside of Agency now. (Lesley: Mm-hmm) And that is Lesley and I feel super honored that she that she's here with us, and that she's coaching instead of Agency, because she's brilliant. (Lesley: Yeah) And the question was, "How did you start collaborating with someone as amazing and, you know, (Lesley: Yeah) famous as Erika Quest?"Lesley Logan 4:00  Yeah, yeah, like, and also like, because I'm assuming the person is wanting to also figure out ways to collaborate. And, you know, I'll say like, I'll tell you my story, you can see yourself in it, and then I'll give you some tips. So, Erika actually reached out to me, because I was putting out content around business advice. And she was doing the blogging for business advice for Bounce Body. And so, you know, she, she was looking for people who were doing what she was needing that for. And then she reached out to me, we did not become fast friends. We just became acquaintances. And then we would see each other on the like tours at the, thing, but it was a slow going like we'd see each other twice in one year and then like, we talked in between a little bit and then we had a phone call and I asked her for some advice. She asked me for some advice. So as we like, built a friendship, and then I was very clear with her what my goals were, and she was clear with me on her goals were and we support each other. And that has led to a collaboration. And so what I would just say is like, collaborations come, it's like dating, everything goes back to dating. (Brad: Yeah, right.) You can not go to bed with someone on the first night and expect amazing collaboration. Some people get married on the first date. And yes, there are stories that works out. Not everyone who got married, the first date does that. We've all seen 90 Day Fiancé. So my point is ... (Brad laughs)Brad Crowell 5:26  Except for Brad, but yeah, sure.Lesley Logan 5:28  He haven't seen it but he has, he can envision it. So the point is, like, warm up to people, share, be vulnerable, tell them what your goals are, ask them what their goals are, and then see where your goals align, and then do little things together. Not a full on retreat, not a full on program, like an hour long thing. (Brad: Right) And then maybe a two hour long thing and really see if you like to work with the person, if you like their values for work or their work ethic, because we have had collaborations that monetarily were successful. But on the other side, were not as successful. And so not everyone's gonna be the right partner. But you know, and also again, took time, I think she must have reached out to me in 2017. Yeah ...Wow. I mean, that was (Lesley: Yeah) before we were doing. That was like, Agency started in 2018.Yeah, so she reached out to me when we were just blogging (Brad: Hmm) cuz it was just my blogs and my book. (Brad: Right) And I've been (Brad: Wow) doing that for a while.And then she didn't join us as a coach until 2021. (Lesley: Yeah) So years later.Yeah. (Brad: Wow) Yeah. And we didn't do WE+LLthy Mindset together until 2021. We did another thing together in 2020, with Mychele Sims and Tosh Edwards. (Brad: Right) Um, and that was our first like, actual four way... (foray?) (Brad: foray) foray. (Brad: foray) I'm also say it four way because it was but not that kind. (Brad laughs) But like it was, so that was our first time working together and actually, like, marketing something together and with some other people. And so again, test it out (Brad: Yeah) before you like, really like, before we like sign on deadlines of contracts. We tested a lot of things out. (Brad: Yeah) So collaborations are amazing. But you know, it's okay, if one didn't work out. It's like dating. You didn't marry your first boyfriend or girlfriend either. Maybe you did and lucky you. (Brad laughs)Brad Crowell 7:19  Okay, awesome. Now let's talk about Tori Gordon. From finally reaching a breakthrough to recognizing how to express her grief. Tori Gordon has now made it her life's mission to provide tools to transform lives. Tori is an Award-Winning Content Creator, Founder of The Coachable Podcast, Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator. She's a Master Coach and your biggest supporter to helping you achieve your highest potential.Lesley Logan 7:52  Yeah, so she, you know, what's crazy is I someone introduced me to her and said, "You two should do a podcast swap." (Brad: Ha!) And then Amber Shaw, our dear friend. (Brad: Yeah) She said, "Oh my gosh, I have to introduce you my friend Tori." And I was like, "I'm already having a call with her. We are already having a call." (Brad laughs) So it's just kind of funny how like, the world is so small. (Brad: That's funny.) Yeah. (Brad: I didn't know that.) And, Tori went to the same Breathwork Training that I am finishing up. SoThat's I was wondering, so yeah, cuz Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator sounded familiar. I was like, "Wait a minute." (Lesley: Yeah, yeah.) Light bulb.Same here. But yeah, so it just like, I mean, she went through, you know, a several years ago. So but it's it's just like, like attracts like, somehow you'll just actually meet people by putting yourself out there and asking for what you need. (Brad: Right?) So, yeah. So what I love one of the she said so many things.Brad Crowell 8:46  Yeah, there was, this is like, packed. (Lesley: This is a packed podcast.) Yep. (Lesley: Um, and ...) I literally listened to it twice to prepare for the recap, because I was like, "Woah!"Lesley Logan 8:56  Yeah, there's some really great stuff. And, and one of the things she talked about was her soul mapping. And she actually made a freebie for y'all. So it's in the show notes. But ...It's in the show notes on the last episode, we'll put it in this one too.Okay. Look at that, just making it easy. So she talks about soul mapping and what that means, like tracking and bringing attention to your improvement. And I just love this because I really don't think that we, as a human, society actually focus on what we did do. And we don't give credit on on any improvement because like, we we think that like the finished like, it has to be X high to get the gold star. And if it's halfway there, then it's not a gold star. And it's like actually, especially in the beginning, little, little improvements are very compounding, you know, like, they're just, they're just very compounding. And we can't, we can't discount that. So like yeah, maybe you didn't run around the whole block, but you ran at the corner. (Brad: Yeah ...) And the more you do that's gonna be easier.Brad Crowell 9:57  I'm not gonna lie. I've been experiencing this myself. (Lesley: Yeah) You know, you know where I'm going with this. (Lesley: Yeah, Brad and I went for a run.) Yesterday, I decided to go for a run (Lesley: Yeah) for like the first time in like, years. (Lesley: How far did you go?) I made, I set a timer. I thought, "Alright, I'm gonna do 20 minutes, and I'm gonna run one direction for 10. And then when the timer goes off, I'll set the timer again. And I'll run 10 minutes back." And I made it about two blocks. And then I walked. (Brad laughs) (Lesley: Yeah, so you walk until your timer) And then I started running (Lesley: went over) and then I started walking. And then I started running and then I started walking. And I thought, "Damn, I'm out of shape." But I also thought, "Alright, you know, like I can, I can dig it." You know, I mean, I remember when I was younger, like being out on the soccer field and having no subs. You had a run for 90 minutes. I don't know how I did that, then, you know.Lesley Logan 10:53  Youth. But also (Brad: Yeah, youth) like, also consistency. But so what you ... (Brad: Yeah, consistency was certainly part of it.) What you can do now as you can pick another day to go for a run and do the same route. And if you run a little further than two blocks, you can track that. And then if (Brad: Yeah) you walk a little less, so this is something like ...But then I can celebrate it and be like, "Hey, I made it two and a half blocks or I made three blocks."You can celebrate that you even went outside, the intention is still there, whether (Brad: Yeah) you do it or not, is actually the extra credit. And, and and for my overachievers listening, I promise you this is life changing. But you know, I don't run once it gets hot in the morning. So then when it gets cool in the morning, I have to start a new and ...Oh, so literally, you're doing this every year.... every year now that we're in Vegas. (Lesley: Yeah) I run from the house until I like give myself a mark. And then I walk the route we're gonna run. And then you know, a week later, I tried to go half a block longer or a block longer or two like and then all of a sudden, we're running around three blocks longer. It is (Brad: Hmm) crazy how compounding it is. But you got to give your muscles the ability to get strong, to get ready so that you're not so sore. The next day, you don't want to do this, it's gonna be working out. It could be anything, it could be writing poetry, sitting down for three (Brad: Yeah) hours, write poetry is going to be exhausting if you've never sat down and wrote wrote poetry for three hours. But eventually, you get in this flow state. I was talking with Claire the other night about she was, she was just like, "I'm gonna write for 30 minutes." And, and she ended up writing for an hour and a half. But that's because she's been practicing writing for 30 minutes. (Brad: Right) So, tracking and bring attention to your improvements and celebrating that you did. That is so so important. You will actually go further if you pat yourself on the back more often.Yeah, celebrating is is, I feel like it's the key.Yeah. (Brad: You know) Yeah, it is. It's free dopamine, by the way. It's free. You don't have to, you don't have to scroll on Instagram to get it. You can actually get to yourself. (Brad: Yeah) What did you love?Brad Crowell 12:51  Well, yeah, so she said something that made me laugh really hard. She said, "Life lifes." And I thought that's, that's, that's fucking brilliant. (Brad laughs) Effectively, that life is uncertain and that change is inevitable, right? And, for me, it's the reason I connected with this is because I've always said, "Change is good." Like, forever, I said that since I was yea big, "Change is good. Change is good." Right? And, but she she kept coming back to this idea of like, being in the moment. And, and being willing to able, willing and able to roll with it when life lifes. Right? Because what do we say, "Oh, life got in the way." Yeah, you know, like, "Shit, I hit the fan. Life got in the way or whatever. COVID." Like, (Lesley: Yeah) you know, we just say that we now that become these like blanket statement terms. And I just thought it was so funny, life lifes, (Lesley: Yeah) you know. And I was like, "Wow, brilliant." So you know, being able to allow for change to happen that is unexpected, right? Like we all want some kind of change to happen in our lives in a good way. Because we got up we got a strategy, we got a plan, we're going in a direction, right? But what if you don't actually, what if something derails that plan or, you know, whatever, like, for example, you're going to hear this in a couple of weeks and interview that (Brad laughs) that's coming up, where were one of your guests was talking about being on the way to a gig, and then three of the horses had to go to the vet five hours away. (Lesley: Yeah) And that really complicated things. And then you're like, "Oh, what are we gonna do?" Well, you got it life lifes, so you got to do... (Lesley: Yeah) you got to deal with it.Lesley Logan 14:34  Yeah. (Brad: You know) It's, I mean, and that's, and that's something like if you fight it, you waste more time. (Brad: Yeah) Like if you fight life lifing you are actually just like, it's like, it's like trying to push a boulder up a mountain when you could just turn around and let the boulder roll down. You know, like, and then you know, do the other, I don't know, but I'm just I just think that like, ask yourself why you're resisting that change and uncertainty so much because that would be and like, that's a good place to (dog noise) journals.Brad Crowell 15:03  Yeah, (Lesley: Hi Gaia) life is, life is uncertain and change is inevitable. So, you know, generally, if you can embrace the change, it will, well, it'll make it easier.Lesley Logan 15:15  Yeah, I think it does. I think it's like eating the vegetables you don't like, (Brad: Yeah) you know, (Brad laughs) if you actually eat this, but I know, if you eat them when they're hot, they taste way better than when they're cold. (Brad laughs) So anyways, that's a 9 year old Lesley telling you ... (Brad: That's a quote right there.) (Brad and Lesley laughs) That's a quote Amanda put it on there.Brad Crowell 15:32  Alright, so finally, let's talk about those BE IT action items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Tori Gordon? I'm going to jump in. She said, "Become clear on what you want."Lesley Logan 15:48  Yeah, I ... (Brad: You know. And I ...) Clarity is so key. If you're like, also, because sometimes we want things because they sound good. So you like I remember writing down on my goals that I wanted to do a yoga teacher training. "What? Why would I do that? Why did I want to do that?"I thought (Lesley: It's like ...) about that, too. Like, like, pretty seriously thought about doing that.Yeah. And I realized that I actually just wanted to know the exercises more not actually become a teacher, which saved me thousands of dollars. SoBrad Crowell 16:16  For me, it wasn't even about the money. It was about the, you know, minimum nine months that it was gonna take me to go through the program. (Brad laughs) You know, like, like time. Right?Lesley Logan 16:26  Yeah. But yeah, but you have to be clear on what you want. Because like, if you were like, "Well, I definitely want to teach this." You might have been like, "Okay, well, nine months is like short and the grand scheme of how long are we teaching it." (Brad: Sure) But if you actually just wanted to know the movements better than like, you know, talking about my BE IT action items. I was like, "What are you in a hurry for?" And, you know, so like, why does the nine months bother you? If it bothers you, because you just want to like, actually, like, nerd out for a little bit. And you don't, then then you can be more clear on what you should be searching for. So, so you know, I just what I did, I totally jumped ahead. So what would you like to finish?Well, yeah, I mean, being clear on what you want, will allow you to also evaluate the the changes that we're talking about where life lifing you know. If you know, if you know exactly what you're going after, or going for or that, you know, that actual path, and then life gets in the way. It will allow you to roll with it, whatever it is a little bit easier. Because here's a perfect example ...Are you talking about our wedding?Brad Crowell 17:37  I am. (Lesley: Oh, my God.) How did you know? (Lesley: I know.) That is so crazy.Lesley Logan 17:40  This is so good. You're in my brain.Brad Crowell 17:43  So when Lesley and I were planning our wedding, we were reading the book, what's it called? (Lesley: A Practical Wedding) A Practical Wedding. We were reading that book, and the beginning of the book, it says, "Pick three things that are actually important." Only three things, right? (Lesley: Yeah) Of all of the things that are gonna happen or going to be involved with this wedding, "What three things actually matter to you?" And we said, "All right, the people, the food and the music." (Lesley: Yeah) Those are the three things that are important to us about this wedding. And what did we not pick? We did not pick the venue, right? Because for us, the venue was less important or not really important at all the... then the other three things. And you know what happened? I'm sure you've heard the story. Five weeks before we were getting married. Our venue canceled us. (Lesley: Yeah) And that was like, well, that was actually like really, like rock the boat, really actually made us really angry. And it was like, incredibly frustrating people that already bought hotels, rooms. And they were like, you know, like, they'd rented cars or not rent cars because of it. There was so much to like, then that limited where we could go because we couldn't move across town. Because, you know, people were already there. So it was, it was really, really frustrating. And what the only thing that really allowed us to roll with it, you know, to allow life lifing was because we we took a step back and we said, "This isn't one of our three things," (Lesley: No) you know, and because we were clear with what was important to us. When that hit the fan. It was still something we had to deal with and it wasn't fun. But it allowed us to kind of move forward without it (Lesley: Yeah) like, really, you know, making things implode.Lesley Logan 19:34  Yeah, no, we actually the wedding didn't have a venue for a week. That was it. Because we actually were able to go, "Well, we just this is what was important to us. So we just need to find a place that allows us to do those things." And we found a better ...Yeah. We found a super amazing, (Lesley: a better thing) it probably better, I would argue that it is better. Yeah.Yeah. Well, everything happens when it's supposed to. So yeah, thank you ... that's a fun story. So anyways, (Brad: Yeah) I think you know nothing can but if you're you have to be clear what you want. Otherwise you don't on how to solve a problem when life lifes.Yeah, totally. So you already kind of spilled the beans here. But (Lesley: I know) you said your biggest takeaway."What are you in a hurry for?" So, I'm impatient. Hi, I see you too. (Brad laughs) And the truth is, is that I love deadlines on goals, because they actually force you to take action. (Brad: Sure) But it's okay if you don't hit a deadline. As long as you evaluate why that was it? Why why didn't you meet the deadline? Did you do need more time to work on this thing? Did you actually work on the thing? Why didn't you work on the thing? Just like getting some clarity around it. Because when you ask yourself, like, "Why does this have to happen on this date?" You can actually get some information like, is it because you just want it to happen? And you want to have a now? Does it, like could it happen at a later date? Would that make it better? Just knowing why you're, what you're in a hurry for will actually allow you to understand like, "Why are you making a deadline of launching a website in a week? Like, what is there a reason?" Now there might be, there might be a reason, but then at least you know.Brad Crowell 21:07  Yeah, I mean, are ... is the timeline arbitrary? Did you create the timeline? And that can be a good thing. It can also just be an incredible amount of stress. (Lesley: Mm-hmm) If there isn't truly a reason, like I used to work for a company that the the boss was like, "When do you want it?" You know and the answer was always "Now." Always for every single thing and ...Lesley Logan 21:31  Right. Which is also not okay, because then everything is a priority, which means nothing's a priority.Brad Crowell 21:35  Yeah, that mean ... Yeah. You didn't let me finished exactly that point. But yes, yes. So the point was then that it was a clusterfuck. Everything was like a super crazy hurry. Right? For no reason, literally no reason. And so then it was like, "Well, you didn't know actually what the, what I should be working on." And, and then it to make it even worse, you didn't know what question you were going to be asked about what project. So it was, it was incredibly stressful, and it caused unnecessary stress. And so I think that writing out what you're in a hurry for is a two fold thing. First, it will allow you to focus on like the things that actually matter. But two, it will allow you to calm the fuck down, you know, (Lesley: That's a quote.) because if you're like, "I gotta, I gotta ... I gotta get this done." You can like write down, "What is it that you're actually like stressing about? What are you in a hurry for?" Right? And you can then take a step back from that and go, "Okay, is this actually time sensitive? Does this really have to happen this exact second?" You know, and you'll be able to figure that out in a different, a different manner.Lesley Logan 22:41  Yeah, I think it's great. And I also just think, the more clarity, again you have around all the things you want, all the things you're wanting to do, the easier it is going to be for you to see help when it's there. The easier it is for you to see a door opening when it's there, the faster things will actually go. But if you're just making blanket statements, blanket goals without any actual curiosity around them, exploration around them, understanding of what it is that you want. It's just going to make you feel like you're running in circles or maybe you're actually like just missing the turnoff. I'm thinking of National Lampoon when they're just going big ... Like, "Hey, kids, Big Ben." And they just like, they just like can't got out of the turn about (Brad: They're going in circles ...) you know because... Yeah, cuz he has no clarity around where he's going. Right? So anyways, I love Tori. She's great. We'll have to have her back. You can check out on The Coachable Podcast. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 23:32  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 23:33  Thank you so much for joining us today. How are you going to use these BE IT action items in your life?

Do you or anyone you know carry the burden of trauma or loss? As we move through our life unhealed traumas influence our response patterns and if we can't find that inner peace, we will not heal completely, and end up living a fraction of our potential. Four decades ago, Steph's life was painful, uncomfortable, filled with addiction and trauma. She was submerged into the world of crime, addiction and sex work. Her tipping point was one out of desperation that eventually led her on a path of healing and transformation. My podcast conversation with Steph Magenta was a heart-felt true story of overcoming addiction, crime and sex work. She tells us about her struggles as well as her achievements thus far. Steph Magenta, is a Breathwork Facilitator and Teacher, licensed bodywork therapist and shamanic practitioner. She is an award-winning writer and blogger for sexual freedom campaigning and a presenter & curator for two ground breaking conferences in this field. Steph is the co-founder of Integrative Breath school of Breathwork Training. Steph explains to us how in her evolving practice, she accidentally came across Breathwork. She miraculously replaced one set of addictions with another. She talks to us about her 3 Pillars of Breathwork, and how health does not only encompass the body, mind, emotions but it's all of these holistically interconnected. And the Breath is the anchor, because it's our connection to life, our spirit and our essence. We discuss the numerous benefits of Breathwork, the mistakes we make when it comes to breathing properly, how to start a breathing practise, cold therapy, and she shares with us her top 3 self-care actions.

Conni and I have collaborated on a number of projects over the years and we've both followed remarkably similar paths from the world of entrepreneurship into the world of breathwork & nervous system science. In this conversation, Conni starts off by sharing some of her personal journey, her various heartbreaks and compartmentalisation of her sexuality that led her from being a very successful travel writer into being a prolific creator in the world of personal development and ultimately to the work she's doing now as a breath coach. From there we pretty rapidly dive go into the nitty-gritty aspects of breathwork and unpack some of the nervous system neurobiology that we've both been learning... including:

Today, I'm honored to welcome my first guest to the show, Steph Magenta.  Steph Magenta is Breathwork Facilitator and Teacher, licensed bodywork therapist and qualified shamanic practitioner. She has a background in research and development in relation to addiction and substance misuse with over two decades of work in sexual freedom activism. She is an award-winning writer and blogger for sexual freedom campaigning and a presenter & curator for two groundbreaking conferences in this field. She is the co-founder of Integrative Breath school of Breathwork Training which she established with her dear friend Dr Rae Reidel, a U.S based Doctor of Chiropractic and Functional Medicine. Steph's work has a strong focus on healing trauma using a wide range of somatic modalities, which she uses to guide each person or group she works with to rediscover a strong sense of wellbeing, purpose and vitality in life. A mother of three grown-up children, Steph is committed to raising healthy human beings who value conscious communication and integral ways of living. She has worked extensively with plant medicines, shamanism and the breath to create lifelong healing for herself and her clients. Steph is an international retreats and events leader, one to one and group work facilitator.
