Lizzy Parsons owns a thriving spa in Victoria, BC for 20 years. She was already facilitating guided meditation facials and energy healing. But she had a secret: severe asthma as a child had left somatic trauma in her body around breath itself. When breathwork came into her life, something unlocked—not just physiologically, but spiritually. On the AOB retreat in Mexico, she did cardio-based movement for the first time without her inhaler. She realized she'd spent her entire life avoiding things she might actually love.

This is a story about breaking the patterns you didn't even know were patterns, and how integrity breeds the confidence to step into your full vision.

You'll hear:

• How extreme asthma created somatic trauma and lifelong avoidance patterns
• The retreat breakthrough: moving without fear for the first time
• Why confidence in breathwork work comes directly from deep learning and integrity
• How AOB certification gave her permission to reach strangers (not just loyal clients)
• The ripple effect of showing up aligned: a stranger event planner offering to open doors
• Why "one bold move a week" is the antidote to a lifetime of "I can't do that"

Perfect for: Spa owners, estheticians, wellness entrepreneurs, anyone running multiple businesses or identities who wants to weave them together intentionally.
