The Breathing Space Podcast

Sometimes life can feel a little tiresome, with a lot of pushing, forcing and grinding. And sometimes things feel a little sticky or you feel stuck. And sometimes healing can be so heavy, deep and overwhelming.

Not in this episode, today I talk about how I’ve found more energy and connection in my day to day life. As well as how you can bring more joy, pleasure and fun back into your life.

Reconnect with your joy and inject moments of fun back into the sometimes mundane and habitual tasks of life.

I believe that when we sit with ourself and understand what we need, then progress will naturally come without being forced.

Why then are we being marketed to otherwise?

In this episode I talk about the pull between striving for growth and learning to accept ourselves as we are.

Join me in the comments:

* What has your experience been in the personal growth/self development industry?

* Has it helped you to love and accept yourself? Has it been a lasting change?

* Or have you avoided doing “the work”, “healing” or personal growth and development work?

On today’s episode I get honest about what I’ve been doing to hold space for myself as I go through an uncertain period in my life. I talk about finding meaning in the mundane everyday moments of life as a way to be present and connected to myself and to create safety in being me, rather than finding it outside myself.

Plus it’s a simple practice that you can use daily too, to bring so much more peace even when your emotions are all over the place.

Or book a 1:1 PRIVATE SPACE breathwork session if you’re looking to have a deeper personal space held for you. We’ll set a personal intention, drop into the present moment through meditation and then breathe.

Psst, you can also find me @spacebreathwork on IG, and of course here on The Breathing Space substack community.

Why do we continue behaviours even when they are destructive or harmful to us like smoking or binge/emotional eating?

What’s driving our behaviour, and what is underneath it?

In this episode I discuss my own recent experience of feeling and integrating an emotion even though it was surprising & uncomfortable to do so - and yet this is part of the human experience.

I also discuss high vs low vibe feelings (aka “good” and “bad” feelings) and how suppressing them is actually robbing you of your freedom, joy and the experience of being human. And how feeling your feelings can lead to more self trust & safety.

You won’t want to miss it.

Contrary to what many success and mindset coaches will tell you, I don’t think making a decision quickly is always the best thing for you (in the long term).

Instead, what if we learnt how to sit with and feel into what is true for us. To let the body lead and connect. This is healing. To change our relationship to these big emotions. Where we stay connected to our heart and our body and our truth even when the mind is screaming at us otherwise.

I share on how the reality I THOUGHT I wanted is actually different from what may actually bring me fulfillment and how I’ve been managing sitting with this even when it’s scary as all your constructs fall away. (Well, even when it’s terrifying! as it has been while I’ve questioned how what I’ve believed for so much of my life, no longer feels true).

Perhaps this will add some perspective to yourself and your process of figuring out what your next season will look like.

Self care is all over social media - then why aren’t more of us doing it? In fact, why aren’t more of us seeing the benefits of these practices?

In today’s episode I explain how to use self devotion & choice to bring more commitment, trust and confidence into your life. How showing up for yourself CHANGES EVERYTHING. No more self abandoning, instead raise our standards while keeping our boundaries intact and honouring our bodies.

LFG!

It was a question from her therapist that sent her down a long journey of skill development in self compassion, mindfulness, mindful meditation, neural development and brain change…

So what was the question?

Have you ever tried meditation?

Join me and my guest Kay Burnham as we discuss how to be more mindful using meditation and how it has changed her life.

We also discuss what actual self care and how it can address your needs and be a practice of deeper self connection. We also discuss some of the struggles people have in beginning a practice that supports them rather than becoming overwhelming. And so that self care isn’t actually AFTER care.

It was mind blowing to learn about the health impacts of people pleasing. It isn’t just creating unhappiness, but can impact so many areas of your life! Whether you identify as a people pleaser or not, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. We discuss finding yourself and creating the life YOU want even if that means taking some uncomfortable action.

Join me as I speak with Dr. Tanielle Brew as she describes how people pleasing snuck its way into all parts of her life - including the decision to become a doctor, her weight loss journey and eventual burn out. She also brings insight into just HOW people pleasing can show up in your life, including its impact on your day to day life and health.

How we can create, without having all the information?

Last time Eliah was on the podcast (ep 21 The vulnerability of trying new things) we talked about healing your body and being able to step into the unknown once you’ve done that. In this episode we continue the conversation into what’s possible once your nervous system’s healed a bit (it doesn’t have to be “fully healed”). Once you have enough peace, have moved through the biggest part of your healing - what do you do with that confidence, and with the tolerance for trusting your intuition and following your inner voice and taking the leaps that seem to defy reason. And seeing the rewards you couldn’t possibly imagine.

Trust that it's impossible to take a wrong step.

Release the safety of projecting into the future and trying to figure everything out before it's happened.

And just be with what is.

Nothing in life is permanent. Everything exists in relationship. Whether that is the relationship we have with ourselves, food, or our body, we can shift our perspective towards it. This episode is both personal and universal. It’s my story of finding a place of acceptance and connection with my body, regardless of how it looks on the outside, and how you can do it too.

In this episode I talk about

* the importance of intentionality

* 3 stages of moving towards changing the relationship with your body

* cultivating intentional practices that support change

* How breathwork changed my life and supported me in making lasting changes in my relationship with myself, food and my body

* the importance of discipline rather than obsession
