Episode #94: The Transformative Magic of Breathwork And Meditation with MB Mannino

I poo-poo’d meditation for the longest time. It was something I didn’t get. I was incredibly intimidated by it. It felt so foreign to me. And the idea of having a meditation practice was (and sometimes still is), something I feel so resistant to.

And if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that where we face resistance, is where we need to place our energy and time because THAT is where the massive growth and transformation takes place. And I couldn’t have imagined a more amazing human to bring on the podcast to deep dive into the magic that is all things meditation & breathwork.

MB is a certified breathwork facilitator, meditation guide and holistic wellness coach based in Metro Detroit. She helps you clear through feelings of stress and anxiety using your breath and body to realign you with your highest, most vibrant self.
