You can lean into a life defined by aliveness, not illness.
Spend two months learning, embodying, and building slow breaths to allow for more confidence and relaxed resilience to take root somatically.
Take a slow breath.
That action, repeated and fine-tuned for your nervous system over this season, is what -
transforms your state, patterns, and in turn, your life.
You only have this body for this lifetime. It’s time to accept (and love) it.
It isn’t about figuring [insert your conundrum at hand] out from the thinking mind.
It’s about learning your breath’s cues to understand what is going on internally.
Until you understand your breath and nervous system, you will continue to approach new situations with old patterning. I know this from experience.
I graduated with the top Sustainability MBA. I landed the dream job. I bought the dream house. I hosted the great wedding.
Then, in 2021, Long Covid sent my nervous system into full dysregulation. I went on beta blockers. I had a mini-stroke. I couldn’t peek at the computer screen for more than 30 minutes.
By December 2022, I had stepped away from the dream job. I sold the white-picket house. I got divorced.
All radical acts of self-compassion and expression (even though it didn’t seem like it at the time) as I grew my personal breathing practice.
And, I am now wholly Sarah - or Joyce as my friends and family call me. Imperfect, ever-evolving, and beautifully messy. Not because I am free from illness, free from grief, free from shame. But, because I listen to my breath’s cues and don’t take everything so seriously.
I am here to show you and support you to use the breath to remember how to BE in relaxed resilience so you can feel alive and enough in the body as it is now.
