Ep 12: What Happens When You Start Breathing On Purpose: Breathwork, Sobriety, and the Journey Back to Yourself

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cory and Jessica—The Healing Couple—for a powerful conversation about the role breathwork plays in emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and even the sober-curious journey. They share how breathwork changed their lives and how their method, Reset Breathwork, is helping others move through anxiety, stress, and disconnection to find more presence, clarity, and peace.

We talk about the science behind breathwork, why so many of us are disconnected from our bodies, and how conscious breathing can support everything from conflict resolution to deeper connection with ourselves and others. We also explore the ripple effect of healing—not just within us, but in our families, relationships, and communities. If you’ve been curious about breathwork or what it really means to live in alignment without numbing out, this one’s for you.
