In this episode, I chat about the power of breathwork as a form of self-care & self-connection which are two key elements that cannot be overlooked as Business Owners. I share my personal journey with breathwork and how I used it in sooo many different ways depending on what I'm going through and what i'm trying to achieve. I explore how breathwork is a way to slow down, be present with oneself, and regulate the nervous system. I emphasise how in our fast-paced, hustle-driven culture, finding time to connect with our bodies is crucial, critically so when we are trying to balance our masculine and feminine energies and build thriving businesses. I speak about how breathwork is to a G-rated version of self-pleasure, as it allows you to experience pleasure & deep calm without the need for external stimuli or erotic mood.
