Rushing Slowly

This week's episode features our first guest, Ella Pike, aka The Breath Boss. Ella is a breathwork facilitator and co-founder of The Breath Haus.

We discuss all things breathwork, how it works, and why it matters. We also pull back the curtain on what others can't see when you're building a business and Ella's experience of severe burnout to the point of hospitalisation.

In this episode, we talk about the contradiction of having a busy social life. We all know how important it is to feel a sense of connection, but often the way we connect involves substances, late nights, and a lot of pressure to look good.

Join us as we explore our unique relationships with alcohol and how we manage the busyness of the silly season.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses addiction and substance use. If you think this might be triggering for you, please come back to it at a later time.

There is still a lot of stigma around therapy and mental health. When we’re always in a rush, our mental health tends to suffer. And often it’s our head noise that prevents us from slowing down. 

Join Megzy and Zoe as they unpack some of the common myths about therapy and provide easy practical ways to go about finding the right therapist for you.

Starting a business is hard work, it requires dedication, sacrifice and patience. In this episode Zoe and Megzy talk us through their steps to building Rushing Slowly, learning to relinquish control and trusting in the process. 

This conversation is a nice reminder, that we are capable of doing hard things and achieving whatever we out set our minds to.

There were a lot of people who helped make their launch possible, a massive shoutout and thank you to all the brands and people involved in making the event the magical morning that it was.
