Krista talks about transformation and healing with Samantha Skelly, the founder of Pause Breathwork and Hungry for Happiness. Samantha describes how she used breathwork to recover from an eating disorder and how, as her relationship with food evolved, she decided to shift her focus from helping women who struggle with disordered eating and body image issues to creating breathwork programs that are designed to relieve anxiety, release suppressed emotions, and develop intuition. 

Samantha’s enthusiasm for breathwork has enabled her to build an authentic and intimate connection with her clients and she is a passionate advocate for the practice, which she believes is unparalleled in its ability to still our minds and connect us back to our bodies. Samantha also explains why some self-help practices aren’t helpful and she criticizes the current tendency to focus on simply shifting mindsets rather than adopting a more holistic approach to facilitating positive change by strengthening the mind-body connection. At Krista’s request, Samantha ends the show with a live demonstration of a simple but powerful breathing exercise.
