‘Breathing is the hardest thing to do…’ a Stone Temple Pilots lyric that looped in my head in early 2022 every time someone told me to breathe.
And if you’ve had a panic attack, or lived with chronic stress/extreme anxiety, you know exactly what I mean. It can feel impossible at times.
Breathing is something that I was always taught was autonomous, not a learned practice that can change your life in real-time.
And I was the biggest skeptic, turned convert of the ‘take a breath’ camp.
Even though I paid a lot of people to tell me to breathe, I didn’t even know that I wasn’t breathing or felt anxiety until I tried to get out of lifelong undiagnosed survival mode at almost 40.
Of all the things I had accomplished, overcome and endured to that point in life, it was frustratingly hard to re-learn how-to-human at almost 40.
And I’m not alone — when our bodies are stuck in a state of dysregulation (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) breathing feels impossible.
Everything changed for me in August 2022 at Onsite’s Healing Trauma workshop when I was introduced to the Komuso Design Shift necklace. And that is when I began spreading the Komuso gospel, gifting the necklace to everyone I know!
On 2/26/26, Todd Steinberg and Vanessa Steinberg, Co-Founders of Komuso Design are joining me on Trauma Translator™ Live & Pod. And as a proud Affiliate Partner, I am the most excited for this episode!
Todd and Vanessa co-founded Komuso in 2017 with a mission to integrate mindful wellness with fashion — creating tools like The Shift necklace, Flex Fidget/Sport and more to support emotional balance in real life and real-time.
Most things in life require a tradeoff for form vs function, but Komuso’s Shift necklace is truly Functional Fashion. Adults and children alike ask me about my necklace, which I wear everywhere. And when I don’t, I regret it.
Because sometimes breathing really is the hardest thing to do, but Komoso makes it easier to get back to your breath with a Micro-Calm™ Moment.
Now every breath feels like freedom.
