I Lost My Sh*t While Building Our House—and I Teach Breathwork... EP33

You can meditate, journal, breathe, and still break down.I open up about the behind-the-scenes of building our dream home—what it cost me emotionally, physically, and mentally. From screaming matches and bleeding knuckles to nervous system shutdown and shame spirals, I share how even with years of healing work under my belt, stress still pushed me to the edge.This isn’t a story about burnout—it’s about survival. It’s about what happens when your practices aren’t enough, and why that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.We talk stress responses, somatic discharge, trauma patterns, and the real path to regulation—not perfection. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re “still losing it” even when you “do the work”—this one’s for you.Plus, I share how this experience became the foundation for my Rooted & Rising breathwork series, where we don’t bypass pain—we hold it, breathe through it, and rise.Ways to continue the work:🔁 Ongoing support: The Deliberate Practice — a steady rhythm of nervous system regulation, breathwork, and integration.Free: The Complete Guide to Quitting Drinking .. a nervous-system-based guide for understanding cravings, stress, and stop/start cycles.🧭 Personalized clarity: The Personal Power Map — a personalized nervous system and identity audit with a video walkthrough.Explore everything at thedeliberateone.com Connect on Instagram @thedeliberateoneIf this episode supported you, you can buy me a coffee here
