Today I am joined by my mentor and friend Ash Morgan (she/her)! Ash is a history nerd, pranayama breathwork healer, and as she jokingly calls herself, a "professional lesbian." Ash grew up conservative and deeply religious, but now she is extremely spiritual and makes queer content on the internet, including queer and other taboo history videos on YouTube! Find all the ways to connect with Ash here - https://bio.site/ashmorgan

In this episode, we chat about coming out of the closet and leaving religion, reclaiming being a witch and healer, the lies of social media, ditching people pleasing, living our truths, and working with our inner critics. We also talk all about breathwork and pranayama! And more!

In this episode, I muse on different ways that we can regulate ourselves during periods of change. My main example here is travel or the holidays, but this also applies to stressful events or other changes in your routine. I give you some mindset and perspective tips, as well as more tangible actions steps you can take to regulate yourself. I also dive in to the window of tolerance and how we can use that framework to regulate ourselves in our window and what to do when we reach our fight/freeze/flight responses. I hope you enjoy!
