Belly Breathing
Are you struggling with BIG Feelings such as stress, rage, overwhelm, anxiety, or Mom Guilt? Learn how Belly Breathing can help.
Are you struggling with BIG Feelings such as stress, rage, overwhelm, anxiety, or Mom Guilt?
Does it feel like no matter what you do, you are stuck in that big feeling even though you desperately want to get out?
The reason why feelings can be so intense is because we are having a body reaction. Our nervous systems are firing away.
In this video, you will learn how to leverage Belly Breathing to calm down.
Here is why it works:
The Vagus nerve is one of the largest nerves in our systems linking our brains to our bodies.
When we engage in deep belly breathing, we tickle the bottom of the Vagus nerve, which then sends a message to our brains that we are safe and all is okay. Then, our brains release hormones that help us calm down, and when we calm our rational brain comes back online and we can take more conscious action.
Watch the video and try belly breathing when you are in the heat of any BIG FEELING and let us know how it goes for you.

5 Signs You're Struggling with Mom Guilt
Are you a mama struggling with Mom Guilt? Here are 5 indicators you might be suffering
Are you a mama struggling with Mom Guilt?
If so, you are so not alone, sister.
I have yet to meet one single mama who hasn’t experienced some form of Mom Guilt.
In my most recent vlog, I share 5 signs you are struggling with Mom Guilt, and some tips on what you can do about it.
In a nutshell – our conditioning (messages we received growing up) about what at “good enough” Mom looks like have developed unconscious beliefs about what we “should” and “should not” be doing.
When we don’t follow the rules, we experience Mom Guilt.
BUT these old rules we are living by are not always true, relevant, or helpful.
We also struggle to notice how amazing we already are, thanks to our brain’s evolution.
AND we often have an area we do need to level up on to reduce Mom Guilt.
Check out the video to learn the signs…

In my summit, Moms Living a Life they Love, I interviewed several brilliant, power-house business women who are also Moms on how they overcome barriers to have both, a successful career and flourishing family.
This firecracker Mom, Michal Chesal, was so much fun to interview and her go-getter energy is just contagious. Three children, a divorce, and a thriving business later, she shares exactly what it takes to have both a family and thriving business.
She is a mompreneur who co-founded the Florida-based juvenile products company Baby K’tan, LLC. Shortly after the birth of her son, Coby, born with Down syndrome, Michal found herself searching for a baby carrier that could provide the sensory nourishment he required for optimal development. Unsatisfied with the options available, Michal began designing and creating her own modified carrier. Officially launched in 2007, the brand has since become one of the strongest names in infant carriers. Today, Baby K’tan, LLC continues to increase their product line, designing innovative products that promote the natural bond between parent and baby.
The culmination of her unique experiences has afforded her opportunities to be recognized in publications such as HuffPost, S FL Biz Journal, CBS & Miami Herald.
In my interview with her she shares:
How her bright idea was born out of her child’s necessity
