What if you understand exactly why you're stressed, anxious, or triggered, but your body still reacts anyway? In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Megan Ashton, founder of Unity Breathwork and advocate for trauma-informed breathwork, to explore conscious connected breathwork, nervous system regulation, trauma, and the role the body may play in healing. Together, they discuss why awareness alone doesn't always change our physical responses, how breathwork differs from traditional calming techniques, why emotional release and integration matter, and how to safely explore somatic practices without getting caught in the cycle of constantly chasing the next wellness tool.
