    322: Breathwork Secrets W/ Sachin Patel: Enhance Health, Longevity, and Spiritual Connection

    It’s time for another brand new episode of Can’t Be Contained! Today, I’m honoured to be joined by author, breathwork facilitator, and founder of the Living Proof Institute, Sachin Patel! Sachin sits down with me this week to share his journey into the world of breathwork, which began with his Wim Hof training in 2018. 

     

    We discuss the holistic benefits of breathwork, including its impact on physical health, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. Together, Sachin and I delve into the science behind breathwork, as he highlights how it can aid in detoxification, improve metabolic health, and even assist with issues such as snoring or chronic pain. Our conversation touches on often overlooked contributors to quality of life, including stimulating the vagus nerve. These elements, when harnessed correctly can have profound effects on maintaining optimal health. 

     

    Sachin and I get into: 

    ➤ Identifying dysfunctional breathing

    ➤ Optimizing light exposure to our circadian rhythm

    ➤ Lung capacity as a predictor of lifespan

     

    Though breathwork seems simple at first glance, it’s an immensely sophisticated practice that holds tremendous power to impact one’s everyday life. So whether you’re simply looking to deepen your existing breathwork practice, or you’re new to it altogether, Sachin has the wisdom you need to transform your health from the inside out! 

     

    So put those headphones on, breathe in, and listen. 

     

    And don’t forget to check out the Pause Facilitator Training program, found HERE! If you’re ready to take the next step in your breathwork journey, there’s absolutely NO better place to start! I’ll see you there, lovelies!

    320: James Wedmore on Using Spirituality to Fuel Success

    Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Can’t Be Contained, where today I couldn’t be more stoked to welcome entrepreneur and personal development advocate James Wedmore! James graciously shares his journey from a logical atheist to embracing spiritual growth—all the while stressing the profound impacts these changes have had on his success in the entrepreneurial space. 

     

    Together, James and I share personal stories of managing moments of self-doubt on stage, and the power of words in fostering authentic relationships. James explores the idea of sacred reciprocity and recounts impactful personal experiences with financial hardship that have shaped his business ethos. Our conversation is a deep dive into the idea that true growth often stems from adversity. James shares how the “tightrope walk” that is living in Sedona has proved effective in gaining self-management tools, and how the environment one lives in can shape personal and professional development. 

     

    We traverse topics like: 

    ➤ The importance of self-worth in preventing burnout

    ➤ Genuine connection in business

    ➤ Manifesting goals

     

    So join James and myself as we delve into just exactly how one maintains balance while pursuing ambitious goals. One shouldn’t cancel out the other, and with James’s powerful insights, listeners can be sure professional pursuits do not have to come at the price of authenticity!

    318: Becoming FILTHILY WEALTHY in 2025!

    Welcome back to the Can't Be Contained Podcast! Today we're diving into a transformative topic — being "filthy wealthy" in 2025! You might be wondering why I’m not just saying "filthy rich." Wealth, in our context, encompasses a holistic approach to abundance, including health, choice, and the freedom to live life on your terms. In this episode, I'll explore how reshaping your identity, harnessing the power of your energy, and practicing resourcefulness can pave the way to unparalleled wealth and fulfillment.

    I discuss the importance of giving yourself radical permission to chase your dreams, changing limiting narratives, and adopting new empowering beliefs. I'll also touch on how to shift your perception of abundance, especially if you have money trauma or scarcity mindsets from your upbringing. Finally, we’ll highlight the importance of being resourceful and how this trait can turn seemingly nothing into extraordinary SUCCESS!

     

    Along the way we delve into: 

     

    • Resourcefulness as the Key to Wealth
    • The Necessity of Self-Permission

    • The Distinction Between "Filthy Rich" and "Filthy Wealthy"

     

    So, if you’re ready to step into a new vision for 2025, embrace your true potential, and explore how to make wealth an integral part of your life, this episode is for you. 

    For those eager to join a community of like-minded women on this journey, The LIFE Mastermind journey might be just what you need. Let’s get started on unlocking a life where you truly can’t be contained!
