It can be so frustrating to find yourself people-pleasing to make sure everyone else is okay, and abandoning yourself by doing whatever it takes to not have a relationship end.

I know... I’ve been there too. And in this episode, my past client and dear friend Amy Jenkins shares her experience of learning how to choose herself even when that meant leaving a 18 year marriage. She shares how breathwork has been a tool to help her trust herself again and how mindful she is in her now partnership to not fall back into old familiar patterns.

Enjoy this episode and share with your girlfriends who are also seeking the inspiration to live + love awake 🫶🏻. If this lands for you, I invite you to help other women find this information too by leaving a 5-star review (cool rhyme, right?!)!
