Behind the Scenes: What Really Happened at My Breathwork Retreat

In this honest and heartfelt episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and telling you the real story of my first-ever breathwork retreat — the good, the messy, the magical, and everything in between.

It took me three tries to record this one because it means so much to me. I’m sharing what it looked like to build this event from the ground up, while also navigating life, motherhood, and the highs and lows of running a business.

You’ll hear:

✨ How the idea for the retreat came to me during a journaling practice

✨ The behind-the-scenes of planning, marketing, and launching it

✨ What went beautifully (and what didn’t!)

✨ Why breathwork is so much more than a stress-relief tool

✨ The truth about showing up when you're nervous and excited

✨ How I knew I was right where I needed to be — even when it wasn’t “perfect”

Whether you’re curious about breathwork, dreaming about hosting your own event one day, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story — this one is for you.

In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that comes up all the time—what to do when you feel stuck in uncertainty.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I just don’t know what to do,” this one’s for you.

I’m sharing some of my own experiences with feeling unclear, how I learned to stop outsourcing my decisions, and a mindset shift that’s helped me (and my clients) move forward even when things aren’t 100% clear.

This is your gentle nudge to trust yourself more deeply and keep going, even when you’re in the messy middle.

In this episode, we’re talking about the foggy middle: the space between knowing something needs to change and actually doing something about it.

You’ll hear:

• Why “I don’t know” is often code for I’m afraid to say it out loud

• A personal story of what happened when I walked away from something misaligned

• Why clarity isn’t found—it’s remembered

• And the exact framework I use with private clients to help them move, even when the path isn’t clear

Feeling overwhelmed lately? You’re not alone.

In this special episode of The Ripple Podcast, I guide you through a breathwork practice designed to help calm your nervous system and bring you back to center—especially on the days when life feels heavy or uncertain.

This practice, known as The Perfect Breath (or resonance breathing), is simple but powerful. It helps your body shift into a state of rest, calm, and safety—no matter what’s happening around you.

You can use this breath:

• When anxiety starts to rise
• Before a tough conversation
• After reading the news
• Or anytime you need a moment to reset and feel grounded again

Breathe with me for a few minutes. Come home to yourself. And remember—you’re allowed to slow down

Whether you’re spinning your wheels or just ready for a new approach, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical tools to move forward—on purpose.

✨ Perfect for high-performing women, growth-minded leaders, and anyone ready to disrupt their default responses and make confident, aligned decisions.

In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes story of the moment I almost didn’t pitch myself for an opportunity that ended up bringing in over five figures —and what helped me move through the spiral of self-doubt to make a braver decision.

We talk about what “playing small” really looks like, how high-achieving women subtly hold themselves back, and the role of coaching in getting clear and taking up space—especially when you’re on the edge of what’s next.

• What playing small actually looks like (hint: it’s not always obvious)
• The inner script that holds powerful women back
• How private coaching helps you move faster, with less doubt
