The Breathing Space Podcast

In this episode of the podcast we discuss the expectation that we have to do it all, and specifically how that’s unrealistic. Grab a pen and paper because this is interactive, as we go through the different parts of the wheel of life and see how the different elements are impacting your life. This is a tool you can use to bring more awareness to what is impacting your overall wellness, and to determine what the next aligned action is for you to begin moving the needle in your life.

Wheel of life: business/career, health, finances, romance, friends & family, personal growth, fun & recreation, physical environment

This episode is very much in process and demonstrates how we cannot plan, control or anticipate how everything will happen in our life. Things come up, take longer than we think or just smack you upside the head. I share what’s going on through me as I work through this under the lens of “coming back to myself” particularly how certain feelings manifest in my body in the form of anxiety.

I walk you through how to identify the sensations in your body and how we label it as a certain feeling. Getting back to embodiment rather than staying stuck in our head.

Life is unpredictable, how do we respond to this uncertainty and unpredictability while remaining true to ourselves?

Welcome back to The Breathing Space [TBS]

In this episode I share about my ever evolving relationship with social media. I’ve been reflecting on this relationship for quite some time and finally feel ready to share more about it - including the differences I’ve felt when on socials vs. completely off of it and where I’ve landed with it now. I’m going over my biggest breakthroughs, concerns, current usage, if I feel I’m missing anything when I’m offline, and some very unexpected observations as well as what has helped me land in a place where I feel content in my relationship with social media. Perhaps these themes are also coming up for you too.

If you’ve struggled with feeling addicted to social media or questioned whether you should just get off it altogether - then this episode is for you.

Resources for this theme [mentioned in this episode]:

* Journal prompts + playlist: Examining relationship with social media

* Exercise: how to tell if social media has a vice grip on you

* My current relationship with social media “from addicted to apathetic”, my learnings, realizations and an invitation for you to share yours

* Human needs podcast episode (ep 40 | understanding this will change your life…the human needs)

Psst: The Breathing Space got an update!

From now on there will be a new theme to explore and see how it shows up in your life. We’re giving ourselves the time and space to really get curious which is why I’ll be sharing different resources over the course of the month. Playlists, journalling prompts, guided practices, community shares and of course, this podcast episode (which is the culmination of the month)!

Welcome back to The Breathing Space.

In this podcast episode I’m sharing how powerful the theme of meeting yourself where you are can be in slowly transforming my relationship to myself as well as my life. There’s multiple practical examples of how it has helped me build trust with myself, gain confidence and build momentum without being overly critical or pushing and forcing myself into action.

Because underneath our judgements and critical thoughts, our body is trying to communicate with us.

Resources for this theme:

* Journal prompts + playlist: Meeting yourself where you are

* Guided breathing practice to meet yourself in the moment

* What does “meeting yourself where you are” really mean? (article)

* Human needs podcast episode (ep 40 | understanding this will change your life…the human needs)

Wow, how serendipitous that this episode is 44, a number I find lucky and optimistic and a sign from the universe.

In this episode I discuss my most recent nudge from the universe, which actually impacts all of you here in The Breathing Space community because it is the beginning of a new scholarship.

I will be offering a monthly scholarship for a 1:1 session with me each month. It is a free/pay what you can offering for one individual. If you would like to receive this session, simply become a subscriber of my substack and reply to one of the emails with “SCHOLARSHIP” somewhere in your message and I’ll add you to the wait list of recipients.

For those of you who are financially able, you can book a session here or make a contribution towards more sessions for others in the community by donating here. Once donations match the cost of a session, I will offer another session to those on the waitlist. So this is really a community support.

All members of The Breathing Space community are welcome to join our monthly community breathwork call that happens the first Monday of the month at 7pm ET.

What nudge have you felt recently from the universe?

How can we use consumerism and the impulse to accumulate more, to understand ourselves more deeply and find more meaning in our life?

In this episode Liz discusses how more material things don’t necessarily lead to more happiness. She discusses how using the myth of more can help you bring more meaning, fulfillment and joy into your life.

Read the substack article “The Myth of More” for more day to day applications of this concept.

We’re back! After a hiatus following the 30 Days of Breath - which were awesome and you can check it out here - I’m back on the pod.

In today’s episode I talk about accessing the energy of the different elements (earth, air, fire, water) to deepen your understanding of yourself and reconnect with what’s showing up for you. I focus particularly on the fire energy and using it for growth and discipline.Some of the things I discuss are:

* What are the energies?

* How do they show up?

* How can you welcome in a deeper connection to yourself using them?

* How you can take action without overwhelm (hint: think of where you currently are +1) so you can achieve the transformation/growth/change you desire.

All the things we truly want in life are free - because they’re feelings and not actual things. How we go about meeting our needs so that we FEEL how we want to feel, well that might cost us - either in time, money, energy or other resources.

In this episode I talk about the benefits of showing up for yourself and of having structure. I also discuss how finding whatever it is that you are searching for, is a result of staying connected to yourself - and the best tool to do that, is breathwork!

Often we think losing weight will give us something, will help us feel happy, proud, beautiful etc. In this episode I talk about my experience gaining around 40lbs in less than 2 years and how I managed to continue to love and accept myself and my body.

This isn’t about health. It’s about treating your body in a loving and nurturing way where you listen to its feedback and needs, especially when it comes to our feelings. Because if you’re trying to lose weight, or have lost and gained the same weight over and over again, or are stuck in a binge-restrict cycle, this episode will tell you what’s really going on and how to break free.

Want to understand why you do the things that you do?

Want to understand why you’re feeling certain feelings? Or how about why your nervous system is dysregulated.

In this episode you’ll get to understand just that - from a human needs perspective. Connect with and understand why you do certain behaviour, tell yourself certain stories and feel certain feelings, without judgement. Understanding the human needs puts everything in perspective! This is part one of my human needs series, the information that transformed my life and helps me navigate my day to day life, relationships, communication and boundaries.
