I Totally Forgot How to Breath — Why Breathwork Is the Foundation of Your Glo

Welcome back, beautiful soul.
I’m so glad you’re here.

In this solo episode of Glow From The Inside Out, we dive into something so basic, yet so easy to overlook — our breath. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in stress, or like burnout is creeping in, this episode was created for you. Because sometimes we forget the most essential thing we need to live — to breath.

“We need to breath to live.”

Why Breathwork Matters More Than You Think

We go through life thinking we’ll naturally get the basics right — eat, sleep, move, and breath. But when stress is high and life gets busy, our breath becomes shallow, fast, irregular, or almost neglected entirely. I shared how I literally forgot how to breath properly — and how this was a clear sign my nervous system needed attention.

“Self care starts with going back to basics.”

Your breath is not just air entering your lungs — it’s a gateway into your nervous system, your calm, your clarity, and your inner glo.

How Breath Connects to Your Nervous System

When your breath becomes shallow, your body stays in a state of fight or flight. This means cortisol rises, tension increases, and your ability to show up fully diminishes.

Breathwork helps to reset your nervous system, calm anxiety, reduce stress, and bring yourself back into the present.

“Going back to basics and really looking after yourself starts with breathwork.”

When you slow your breath, your body listens. It recognises safety.

Breath Is the Foundation of Real Glo

True glo doesn’t begin with products or routines. It begins with how you breathe.

“Your breath is the foundation of your glo.”

Simple Breath Practices You Can Do Today

4-7-8 breathing, box breathing, and deep belly breathing can all help regulate the nervous system.

Your Breath Is Always With You

Breath is free. Breath is powerful. Breath is your anchor.

“To come back to the present, to put yourself first.”

Takeaway From the Episode

When you bring your breath back into alignment, everything else — your energy, your calm, your clarity, and your glo — begins to follow.
