I had the best time today at the @arrm.mn Women’s Leadership Summit 🎤

My session, “Speak with Strength,” was all about how to own your voice and command the room. But honestly? It’s easy to feel strong when you’re surrounded by women who dedicate their lives supporting people with disabilities. 

It fills my heart to support the ones who care for everyone else. ARRM, thanks for having me! 💟

🕵️‍♀️ Curiosity is like being a detective—always looking for clues.⁠
⁠
When kids practice curiosity with their breath, they start noticing the clues their body is sending:⁠
✨ Is my breath fast or slow?⁠
✨ Do I feel it in my chest or belly?⁠
✨ Does it change when I’m calm vs. upset?⁠
⁠
This simple act of noticing is powerful. 💡 It builds interoception—the hidden sense that helps children connect with their bodies, understand emotions, and self-regulate.⁠
⁠
How to try it:⁠
⁠
Invite your child to play “Breath Detective.”⁠
👃 Close your eyes and take a gentle inhale.⁠
👀 Look for clues: Where do you feel the air in your body? What moves first—your chest, shoulders, or belly?⁠
📝 Write down your “clues” and compare over time.⁠
⁠
The more curious kids get, the more confident they become in using their breath as a tool for calm.⁠

🌟 Did you know your child has a hidden superpower inside their body?⁠
⁠
It’s called interoception—the sense that helps kids notice what’s happening on the inside (like a fast heartbeat, butterflies in the belly, or a growling stomach).⁠
⁠
In today’s busy, screen-filled world, kids often lose touch with these inner signals. ⁠
⁠
That’s why interoception is a modern-day skill—it helps children:⁠
✅ Notice stress sooner⁠
✅ Understand emotions⁠
✅ Calm their bodies⁠
⁠
✨ The best part? Breathwork is one of the easiest ways to practice it.⁠
Placing a BE Buddy® (or even a stuffed animal) on their belly makes breath awareness fun, safe, and engaging.⁠
⁠
Every rise and fall = a chance for your child to connect, regulate, and feel calmer. 💛⁠

Happy World Breathing Day, everyone! 🌬️ Did you know that something you do every single minute of every day is also one of your most powerful (and often overlooked!) tools for well-being?⁠
⁠
Seriously, think about it – your breath is connected to everything: how you move, how well you sleep, your digestion, your feelings, even your thoughts, and how you handle stress. ⁠
⁠
In today's world, where pressure can feel constant, adapting and building resilience is crucial.  That's like having a modern-day superpower! 💪 And guess what? Your breath is the most fundamental way to regulate so many of your body's amazing systems.⁠
⁠
Imagine your body is an orchestra 🎶 – your diaphragm is the conductor! If your breathing pattern is off-beat, everything else can follow suit. Breathing well always affects you, for better or for worse.⁠
⁠
When you tap into your natural breath – the way you breathed when you were a baby – it can have an incredible impact on:⁠
⁠
• Posture, stability, and vocal quality⁠
• Digestion⁠
• Sleep⁠
• Regulation of your nervous system (hello, calm!)⁠
• Focus and productivity⁠
• Immune system⁠
• Cardiovascular and lymphatic systems⁠
• Pain processing⁠
• Athletic performance and breathlessness!⁠
⁠
So, what does "optimal breathing" look like when you're just chilling? Think low, diaphragmatic breaths, nice and slow (around 8-12 breaths per minute), and through your nose.⁠
⁠
🤯 TRY THIS WHEN STRESS TAKES OVER:⁠
⁠
Feeling overwhelmed? Here’s a simple exercise to shift gears from stressed to restored:⁠
⁠
➡️ Inhale slowly and gently through your nose for a count of 4.⁠
➡️ Exhale gently through your nose for a count of 6.⁠
➡️ Repeat this pattern 10 times, or until you feel a sense of calm wash over you.⁠
⁠
Let's give our breath the appreciation it deserves today (and every day!). ⁠
It's always there for us. ❤️⁠
⁠
