Mindful Mornings with Safiya Podcast

Join me for an indepth conversation on breathwork as a modality for healing and growth with mentor and friend, Claire Ollila. Claire is a world class trauma informed breathwork mentor, certified by Owaken Breathwork, and Claire works with high performing women to help them access their peace and power.   In today's episode we'll discuss: The difference between mindset work and somatic practices like breathwork Breathwork as a tool for feeling stored emotions and learning how to self regulate Breathwork as a tool for clarity and insights from your inner wisdom The importance of integration and how to take your "ahas" from breathwork into day to day life

The topic of outsourcing your healing feels timely, as I believe that the way we view our growth and our ability to heal (emotionally, physically, spiritually) shapes how we view our experiences and what we believe we're capable of achieving in the new year.   As I've shifted this past year into the belief that I am capable of healing from past emotional wounds and patterns, and as I've been able to experience real-life changes, I've found that I'm less likely to think that any one person/modality/tool is going to be the magical solution that fixes it all.   Healing can come in many forms - taking a pause before reacting from a space of fear, having difficult conversations and setting boundaries, or choosing to fill your life with things that nourish you instead of those that feel familiar but leave you feeling empty. This episode expands on this topic and is a little recap of where I've been when I took a break from running I Am Well Community in 2022 and 2023.   I hope this podcast offers you the opportunity to reflect on your own growth and changes you made in 2023, I included some journaling prompts at the end of the episode to support you.

Welcome back to Season 3 of the Mindful Mornings podcast! After a long break, I've decided to come back to share this episode I recorded with Maggie Saunders, back in 2021. We talk about how to embrace all your emotions - especially the more difficult ones like anger, grief, jealousy, and sadness. In this episode, we dive into how to make space for difficult emotions, why somatic practices allow us to move through difficult emotions more quickly, and the power of having people in your life who embrace all of you.  If you enjoyed this episode, please share with a friend!

In this week's episode, I share my tips for navigating seasons of transition (and transformation) and how we can still thrive, even in the times of being in the "in-between." I hope this episode provides you some support & nourishment as we reemerge into the world! Join the Waitlist for the Inner Circle: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60777d566b2fd80590942b54
