Listen Later

Summary

In this episode, we’re joined by Nicki Lambert, a breathwork facilitator who supports women through burnout, anxiety, menopause, grief, and major life transitions.

Nicki shares her personal journey from high-pressure corporate life and single motherhood into functional burnout, and how discovering breathwork transformed her nervous system, her parenting, and her sense of self. Together, we explore why so many mums live in chronic stress, how anxiety is often a sign of a dysregulated nervous system, and why healing doesn’t always require talking through past trauma.

Nicki explains the science behind breathwork, how it helps the body feel safe again, and guides us through a simple breathing exercise listeners can use anytime to calm anxiety and overwhelm. This episode is a powerful reminder that the most effective tools for healing are often already within us.

✨ A must-listen for mums feeling burnt out, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
