No Shame in Learning to Breathe - Breathwork with Theresa

We dive into one of the most fundamental tools we have—our breath. Joined by expert guest and dear friend Theresa, we explore the science behind breath work and how intentional breathing can help us regulate our nervous system, calm down when we're overwhelmed, and respond as our best selves. Whether you're skeptical about "woo woo" practices or already have a meditation routine, Theresa bridges the gap between physiology and practical application, giving us accessible tools we can use anywhere—in the car, on the stairs, or when we catch ourselves holding our breath. You'll walk away with a simple, science-backed breathing technique you can use immediately.Timestamps00:00 - Introduction and No Shame bus stop story03:00 - Why we're talking about breathing05:00 - Meeting expert guest Theresa09:00 - Understanding dysregulation and the nervous system16:00 - The breathing exercise walkthrough23:00 - Good, Better, Best versions of the tool27:00 - Interview wrap-up28:00 - Sara's experience using the tool32:00 - Moments of gratitudeTell UsWhat helps you pause and breathe during a busy day?
