What if the secret to healing lies in your breath? In this episode, I’m joined by Meghan Sandve, a trauma-informed breathwork expert, as we dive into the transformative world of somatics and nervous system regulation. Whether you're curious about breathwork or searching for a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation will inspire you to listen to your body’s wisdom and redefine how you approach healing.

What to Listen For:

• What makes trauma-informed breathwork different—and why it’s essential.
• How trauma shows up in the body and what "too much, too fast" really means.
• The critical difference between discomfort and feeling unsafe during breathwork.
• Why “intensity doesn’t equal transformation” and how to slow down for deeper healing.
• Practical ways to tune into your nervous system’s signals and avoid burnout.
• The role of emotional, spiritual, and relational safety in creating a healing space.
• How somatic practices can expand your capacity for resilience and ease.
• Steps to start your own trauma-informed breathwork practice with curiosity and compassion.

Meghan reminds us of the power of slowing down and tuning in to find healing and empowerment.

Breathwork isn’t just about transformation—it’s about creating safety, listening to your body, and embracing ease over force. Dive into this conversation and discover how breathwork can be your pathway to balance and inner peace.
