Ever feel like you’ve lost touch with your intuition? That you’re just “getting by” on autopilot, listening to everyone else’s advice instead of your own inner wisdom? This episode of The Comeback Season is for you.

Nichole and Christi sit down with breathwork facilitator Rikki to explore how the simple act of breathing with intention can reconnect you to yourself, regulate your nervous system, and build true emotional resilience.

They talk about:

• Why so many of us feel disconnected—and how shallow, rushed living cuts us off from our own knowing.

• How breathwork creates safety in the body, allowing us to move from fear into curiosity and change.

• The role of breath in emotional regulation—learning to feel feelings (even the hard ones) instead of fixing or avoiding them.

• Practical breathwork tools to get started, from box breathing to short daily practices.

• How breath-led awareness supports comebacks, pivots, and big life transitions by helping us hear our own guidance.

• The ripple effects of this work—building healthier relationships, setting boundaries without guilt, and learning to receive love.

This episode also includes a short guided breathwork experience you can try in real time.

If you’re in a season of rebuilding or just feeling foggy about your next steps, let this be your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember you are supported.
