000 Welcome to Healing After the Hard Stuff
2026/01/12
Welcome to Healing After the Hard Stuff.
This podcast is for the moments when life and business feel harder than you ever expected. Burnout. Grief. Loss. Identity shifts. The seasons where everything feels heavier, messier, and far from straightforward.
Here, I’m creating space for real, meaningful conversations about the parts of life we don’t often talk about openly. The moments that crack us open, change us, and ask us to find a different way forward. My hope is that these conversations help you feel less alone, while also giving you access to healing techniques and modalities that can genuinely make a difference.
You’ll hear honest stories, conversations with experts, and reflections on breathwork and nervous system regulation. I’ll also share from my own work as the founder of Influential Breathwork Academy, where I train people to use breath to support physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
If you’re finding your way through a difficult chapter, I hope this podcast offers something steady and supportive.
One breath at a time.
