Breath, Cycles & Showing Up Anyway
In this episode, we sit down with a woman who’s built a life rooted in presence, practice, and holding space—for herself and others. From guiding breathwork and running retreats to singing in a choir she once felt too nervous to join, her journey is one of quiet strength and deep listening. We talk about living in sync with her body through seed cycling, the grounding power of women’s circles, and how the principles of Nonviolent Communication have helped her connect with more honesty, empathy and self-awareness.
This isn’t a story of overnight transformation—it’s one of real, rhythmic growth, and choosing to show up with compassion, one moment at a time.
