Ep. 24 - Radiantly Rooted with Rachel

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you rest, you still wake up exhausted? Like you’re doing all the “right” things and still can’t seem to get out of survival mode?

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Tabatha DeBruyn, Transformational Breath Master and one of only a few certified 9D Somatic Breathwork Practitioners worldwide. Tabatha has guided thousands of people through deeply immersive breathwork journeys that awaken, heal, and transform, and today she’s sharing how the power of a single conscious breath can shift everything.

Tabatha’s story is real and raw: after losing her mother and experiencing her own functional depression and panic attacks, she discovered healing through breathwork. Now she uses a powerful fusion of neuroscience, energetics, sound therapy, and subconscious reprogramming to help people stop living in burnout loops and start living in brilliance.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, or simply the desire to feel more at home in your body, this episode will give you practical tools you can use right now, starting with your very next breath.

🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ The physiological sigh is the fastest way to reset your nervous system and Tabatha walks you through it live. (Spoiler: you already have this tool with you 24/7.)

2️⃣ Most of us are unknowingly breathing in a way that keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight all day. Learn the simple shift that brings your body back to safety.

3️⃣ Your brain has a filter called the reticular activating system and you’re programming it every single day. Tabatha’s eye-opening experiment (red vs. blue) shows exactly how to reprogram it toward hope, clarity, and possibility.

Whether you’re new to breathwork or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll walk away feeling more hopeful, more grounded, and more empowered to choose how you feel.
