In this episode, Ashlee Livingstone openly shares about her unexpected journey into motherhood, and the anger and shame she so deeply felt and experienced, but hid from everyone else. She walks us through the shame that was put on her by her doctor, that she accepted as her own truth, and how she held resentment against other women for so long due to being lost in her own anger and grief. Ashlee walks us through how the practice of breathwork has allowed her to release much of the anger and shame she held on to for years. Tune in to this empowering story and for a special glimpse into what breathwork is all about.

• The range of benefits breathwork provides;
• How breathwork allowed her to develop her intuition where she actually started to trust herself for the first time in her entire life;
• Emotion is energy that just needs to move, and breathwork is a beautiful, safe practice that allows for that much needed emotional release;
• How she was defined as an angry child/teen, and how without having healthy coping mechanisms, anger stayed stuck in her body for years;
• The blame and shame placed on her by her doctor for her inability to get pregnant, and how she accepted that shame as her truth;
• How she went through 5 years of fertility treatments without telling anyone about it due to the shame she felt;
• The resentment she felt against other women due to being lost in her own anger and grief;
• We can be happy for others and sad for ourselves at the same time;
