Sober Fit Life

EP: 18 Nervous System Healing & Breathwork for Sobriety with Trish Brewer


Listen Later

In this episode of Sober Fit Life, I sit down with Trish Brewer, a certified trauma-informed breathwork coach, Reiki master teacher, and co-author of We Lead, Volume Two. Trish helps individuals release trauma, reduce stress, and reconnect with their authentic selves through conscious breathwork.

After years of witnessing the impact of alcohol in her family, Trish made the conscious choice to step away. She realized that alcohol was not serving her health, energy, or emotional well-being. Instead of reaching for a drink, she turned to breathwork techniques—and they changed everything.

In this episode, we explore:

🌬️ How breathwork became Trish’s tool for emotional regulation and healing
🍷 Why she stopped drinking—even though she wasn’t a “problem drinker”
🧠 The science of breathwork & how it helps regulate the nervous system
🔥 Breath techniques for reducing stress, anxiety, and alcohol cravings
⏸️ The Power of the Pause—how breathwork can create space for better choices

Trish shares how simple breathing exercises can be a game-changer for anyone looking to manage stress, shift their mindset, and step into a more conscious, empowered life.

Breathwork Techniques we chat about: 

☀️ Morning: Breath of Fire to energize and awaken the body
🌿 Midday: 4-4 Breath to balance the nervous system
🌙 Evening: 4-8 Breath to activate rest & digestion for better sleep
🛑 For Anxiety or Social Situations: 4-7-8 Breath to calm the mind and body
🔲 For Focus & Resisting Urges: Box Breathing to increase mindfulness
