080 | Solo Episode: Breathwork Blew My Mind (and Helped Me Let Go of Hypervigilance)

What if the very thing you’re craving — peace, clarity, vitality — has been within you all along?

In this powerful solo episode, Laura shares her unexpected and life-changing journey into transformational breathwork — and how it’s become one of the most impactful practices in her life and work.

Laura opens up about the moment breathwork found her in 2021, during a retreat in the mountains of British Columbia, and the surprising ways it cracked her open, softened her edges, and helped her finally loosen the grip of control. What began as a single session turned into a soul-aligned path — one that has transformed her thoughts, body, relationships, and the way she moves through the world.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, hyper-vigilant, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from your body and truth, this episode will meet you right where you are. Breath by breath.

 

In this episode, Laura shares:

  • The story of how breathwork found her — and why she resisted it at first
  • What actually happens during a transformational breathwork session (including common physical responses and emotional releases)
  • The lesser-known physiological benefits of breathwork: improved oxygenation, CO₂ tolerance, inflammation reduction, and longevity
  • How breathwork can help you unwind old beliefs, regulate your nervous system, and connect more deeply with yourself
  • Why transformational breathwork bypasses the brain and heals from the inside out
  • The powerful role of rhythm, community, and consistency in sustainable change
  • What inspired her to create the Breathe Into Being Membership — and how you can join now
