Hey lady! Are you sliding headfirst into the holidays completely exhausted by work demands, life obligations, and the oppressive beatdown that was the 2024 election season, and compounding worldwide strife? That short list doesn’t even include some of the pop quizzes that life springs on you – you know the kind; the ones that require the remainder of your energy reserves leaving you spent? Hopefully you can get some rest soon as the country begins to ease into holiday cheer. We want to help turn down the volume of life this week so we have a very special guest to help usher in moments of calm and respite.

Jasmine Marie is a breathwork practitioner and founder of Black Girls Breathing, an online platform and community that features resources to help you regulate and heal your nervous system surrounded by like-hearted Black women providing support and encouragement in the journey. She’s also the author of Black Girls Breathing: Heal From Trauma, Combat Chronic Stress, and Find Your Freedom and she joins Dr. Dom and Terri for a beautiful conversation about all of the ways we’ve learned to keep it together and how some of them may be used to our detriment.

The work to not only unlearn and heal, but grow resiliency so that you can thrive is not easy but if you have a solid toolkit you can make it fun. Jasmine Marie offers practical wisdom on why building a strong, resilient nervous system is essential to living a healthy life as a Black woman and gives tangible practices, including a sample breathwork session, that you incorporate into your daily life. Listen to the end for an extra special offer for our listeners!
