It’s been a while since I recorded a solo episode so here goes! During my mini break I was thinking; what can I do to support educators, counselors, families and parents with my podcast? And from that I felt inspired to do a mini series on coping skills for adults! I thought it’s a good time of year to start this series with a new school year approaching. It’s such a stressful and overwhelming time and I want to help you with it. 

The topics I cover in this episode are:

flight, fight or freeze mode and the connection to breathing

How deep breathing can help you focus

two strategies that you can use

where I've seen deep breathing used recently on tv
