JOIN THE 21-DAY BREATHWORK CHALLENGE STARTING ON MONDAY!

Whether you never express the emotion of anger or you are angry all the time, this is a powerful emotion that is sending you a signal as to what your needs are.

This is the final episode of this season. Carla is chatting about the very misunderstood power of anger and explains how breathwork helps us process it instead of suppressing it.

She uses real examples from clients to look at the different ways people respond to anger and why those responses matter for our health and our relationships.

You will learn how childhood experiences and gender norms shape the way we express or repress anger, and why acknowledging anger is essential for setting boundaries, identifying needs, and preventing long-term emotional and physical consequences.

This is the final episode of this season, so please reach out and share your thoughts with Carla on whether you would like another season and the topics to discuss.

Carla is back with part 2, speaking about all things emotions.

If you’ve ever wondered why sitting with emotions like sadness, anger, or grief feels so uncomfortable, Carla is going to explain it all in today’s episode and share how slowing down and breathwork can transform the way we heal.

Carla shares what she’s learning through her Compassionate Inquiry training with Gabor Maté, alongside her own work in somatics and therapy.

She explains why so many of us skip past feelings, rush to soothe, or get stuck in our heads rather than staying with what’s present.

She also talks about implicit memory and highlights the role of the “super ego” in holding us back from healing.

If this episode resonates with you and you’re ready to stop being so in your head and start connecting inwards, Carla’s new community is launching on the 8th of September with a 21-Day Breathwork Challenge! This is a chance to reconnect with your body, release emotional energy, and find more clarity and calm in daily life.

SIGN UP TO THE WAITLIST FOR CARLA’S NEW OCEAN HEALING COMMUNITY

This week, Carla’s talking emotions- why they’re at the root of everything, how most of us either avoid them or get overwhelmed by them, and what can actually help.

She shares what she’s learned from her Compassionate Inquiry training with Gabor Maté, plus years of breathwork and body-based work.

There’s chat about how childhood shapes us, why we keep falling into the same patterns, and how slowing down to breathe (literally three minutes a day) can change your life.

So whether you’re a numb potato or highly anxious, this episode will help you to stop thinking and doing so much and start to tap into living and being.
