For years, I was really good at keeping up.
I had a demanding career that kept me traveling from city to city. When I was home, I somehow found time for house projects, family, friends, coaching CrossFit, and whatever else I could fit in.
My calendar was full, my to-do list was never finished, and there was always something else I thought I should be doing.
Sound familiar?
I was the person who could handle it. And for a long time, I thought that was just who I was.
But that pace was starting to catch up with me.
I was exhausted, but I kept pushing. I was impatient and always in a hurry trying to squeeze in one more thing. Even when I finally stopped, my brain didn't.
What I didn't understand then was how much stress was playing a part in how I felt.
The exhaustion. The impatience. The inability to switch off.
That realization eventually led me to breathwork.
I began learning how changing the way I breathed could help change my response to stress. But breathwork gave me something else I hadn't expected. I could see things I couldn't see when I was constantly going.
Today, I'm an ICF-certified coach and SOMA Breath® Instructor. I help busy women slow the mental spin and create enough space to see things differently. Breathwork is one of the tools we use to get there.
