I'm back ....

We’re so often taught that clarity means choosing one thing. One path. One feeling. But what if multiple things can be true at once? What if honoring that is the most truthful thing we can do?

Today’s solo episode is a little more personal, a little more layered — and if I’m honest, it’s been brewing inside me for a while. I want to talk about what it means to hold multiple truths at once — without needing to choose just one, or explain away the rest.

I’m living in that space right now — loving life here in Costa Rica and knowing it’s time to root part of my year somewhere else. Feeling grateful for the health practices that once saved me and realizing they’re no longer what my body needs.

This episode is for anyone standing in that messy, beautiful, expansive place between what was and what’s becoming. Let’s talk about what it means to live truthfully, even when it’s not neat and tidy — especially then.

Takeaways

• We’re talking about:

  • The paradox of loving where you are… and still feeling the call to go somewhere else

  • Why the health routines, relationships, or beliefs that once worked may be keeping you small

  • The parts of yourself you haven’t fully mined — and how the world is asking you to show up, open-hearted and true

  • What it means to hold yourself with both compassion and accountability — and become the support system you actually need

  • How to stop trying to make life neat and tidy, and instead live in the truth of your wholeness

  If you’ve been standing in a season of contradiction, expansion, or quiet reckoning — this one’s for you.

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.

• 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

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Improve sleep, focus, and emotional resilience

• Release stored trauma and energetic blocks

• Increase lung capacity and blood oxygen levels

• Expand your intuition, vitality, and creative potential

• Rewire your nervous system and reconnect to your truth

• Cultivate a rhythm of healing that supports your entire life

In this raw and insightful episode, I sit down with the incredible Elisa Kurylowicz, former elite athlete, mindset coach, and host of the Elisa Unfiltered Podcast, to talk about the wound of feminine sisterhood—the ways in which women struggle to build, maintain, and repair deep, meaningful friendships.

We unpack the hidden layers of competition vs. collaboration, the subconscious wounds many women carry from childhood, and how they manifest in adulthood—whether through betrayal, exclusion, or self-sabotage.

Elisa shares her own experiences of deep sisterhood breakups, how they shaped her understanding of self-worth, and how she finally cut the cord on toxic dynamics that no longer served her.

We also dive into:

✔️ The difference between self-awareness and intuitive awareness
✔️ How the need for external validation keeps us in unhealthy patterns
✔️ Why women struggle to say the thing—and how to break that cycle
✔️ The power of holding space vs. fixing others
✔️ The unseen impact of competition and rejection in female friendships
✔️ How to truly rebuild trust with other women and create deep, authentic connections
✔️ Why many women unconsciously keep themselves on the back burner in life and how to step into your own power

If you've ever felt burned, disappointed, or disillusioned by female friendships, this episode is a MUST-listen.
