Breath: Healing Burnout & Reclaiming Calm | Cindee Brown-Mills

In this spontaneous, open conversation on this is emotionart, host Michael Avery sits with Cindee Brown-Mills... keynote speaker at the Oregon Business Conference, Navy veteran, former corporate CFO, and founder of Breathe Alaska... for a heart-opening exploration of what happens when the ladder you’ve been climbing finally breaks you.Cindee shares the moment she hit rock bottom: sitting on her kitchen floor, exhausted from decades of high-stakes finance roles, people-pleasing, and unexpressed grief, realizing she could no longer “tough it out.” And then a single online breathwork class cracked open decades of stored trauma, generational pain, and the constant sympathetic nervous system overload so many of us live in without even naming it.Breath is the only body system we can consciously control, it works like a remote control for your nervous system that you can use at your desk (yes, even in corporate life) to shift from fight-or-flight to calm clarity in minutesCindee now guides triathletes, corporate teams, and seekers through retreats, workshops, and her signature 'Mindfulness in the Wilderness' experiences in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest.Whether you’re still climbing, quietly quitting, or just ready to rewrite the script, this episode is your invitation to pick up the remote and start regulating on purpose.Guest Bio Cindy Brown Mills is the founder of Breathe Alaska and a certified Soma Breath instructor.
