105: Pause Breathwork with Samantha Skelly

In this episode, we speak with the founder of Pause Breathwork — Samantha Skelly. In her 13 years of Breathwork, she shares about how it all started, the benefits of Breathwork, her past issues with body image and eating disorders, the importance of self-awareness, and being in a relationship as a powerful woman. [4:16] Pause Breathwork “The mind has all these limitations and protectors and everything that stops us from expanding into everything that we are… with Breathwork, we’re able to cut through all the noise.” [5:43] How it Started “I was struggling really badly with disordered eating, body image issues, and the whole thing; I was doing every sort of mindset hack that I could possibly do.” [9:34] The Benefits “We don’t want to give people more than what they can handle... The breath helps us essentially unhook from the mind.” [13:24] Listening to Ourselves “So many things are in our world where we think we’re being productive but really it’s just eating away on our soul.” [15:50] Taking Breaks “My brain and my body need to relax and that’s okay.” [19:18] Power and Potential “It’s so cool once we get out of our own way, how much untapped power and potential we all have.” [20:53] Body Image “I overexercise or overeat or restrict; I just keep messing with my food and my body in order to feel good with things.” [25:00] Awareness “Awareness is the medicine… It’s not about shaming the needs, but finding different strategies to meet the needs.” [30:31] The Clients “There’s a whole range of different people with different desires who uses the App.” [34:19] Powerful Woman “It’s going to take a man of equal power but different power to be able to hold you in your greatness.” [38:24] Powerful Creators “I’m gonna be patient in this little waiting…Even if it’s not true, we’re gonna make it true, because we create our reality.” [39:21] Undergoing Breathwork “The body is gonna give us whatever the body needs to process or heal or awaken in that moment, and our job is just to surrender to the breath.”   Follow Samantha on instagram @samanthaskelly Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!  Connect with Kelly here: Follow Me on Instagram at @chaselifewithkelly  Follow Me on TikTok at @iamkellychase Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Join the ChaseLife with Kelly Community!
