WTF Is Breathwork? - Breaking It All Down

In this episode, I share the replay of my online masterclass,WTF Is Breathwork, where we dive deep into the often confusing world of breathwork. Whether you'refeeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, this episode offers both education and personal insight into how breathwork can help you regulate your nervous system, release emotional weight, and reconnect with your inner peace. I break down how to choose the right breathwork modality for you, explain the signs of nervous system dysregulation— from chronic anxiety to poor sleep— and explore the science behind chest vs. belly breathing and the benefits of nose breathing. I also open up about my own healing journey and how breathwork helped me through deep loss, burnout, and breakdowns, ultimately transforming my life. If you’re ready to come home to your body, build emotional resilience, and live from a more regulated, responsive place, this one’s for you.Plus, I invite you to the upcoming FREE online Soulfully Seen Vulnerability Summit from June 2-6th, where we’ll go even deeper into healing and connection.Register for The Soulfully Seen Vulnerability Summit (June 2-6th)What you'll hear:The Science of Safety: Learn how your nervous system functions and why you might be stuck in survival mode, even when your life appears “fine” on the outside.Identifying the Symptoms: Explore signs your nervous system may be dysregulated — like overthinking, emotional reactivity, numbness, people-pleasing, or chronic fatigue.Practical, Powerful, and Free: Breathwork is accessible to everyone — no fancy tools or expensive treatments required. Just your breath, and a willingness to show up.Breath Awareness: Most people unknowingly breathe into their chest (aka, stress breathing), which keeps the body in a defensive state. Shifting to belly breathing sends a signal of safety and helps calm your entire system.Nervous System Reset: Mouth breathing, especially during sleep, overstimulates the body and disrupts rest. Nose breathing filters, warms, and balances the breath, promoting deeper sleep, clearer thinking, and emotional regulation.Embodied Practice in Real Time: Experience a guided round of box breathing during the episode to notice how just a few intentional breaths can shift your inner state.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Perfectly Broken: Path to Power Membership ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out the Contact Me to Work Together⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Soulfully Seen Women's Retreat ⁠⁠⁠(September 7-10, 2025)Let’s Connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danistedman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠⁠⁠theperfectlybrokenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
