Unlock Your Inner Calm: Simple Breath-work Techniques for a Hectic Life

In this episode Tracy is joined by special guest Carly Killen, Menopause strength & Breath-work Coach.

She shares her personal journey from being a dietitian in the NHS to becoming a personal trainer and later discovering breath-work after experiencing burnout.

This episode focuses on the importance of self-care, particularly breath-work, for improving both personal and professional life. 

Carly highlights how burnout and stress can be a result of constantly being on a "hamster wheel" of work. Tracy and Carly discuss how integrating practices like breath-work can help regulate the nervous system, improve productivity, and even enhance self-confidence and assertiveness. 

Carly also debunks the myth that slowing down is a waste of time, stating that a short break can lead to a significant increase in productivity.

Carly also emphasises that while breathing techniques can be used for calming, they can also be used to energise and activate the body. Carly provides a practical example of a "coherence breath" that can be used to stay calm in stressful work situations and a "breath of fire" technique to increase energy and focus.
