    35. Outer Chaos, Inner Calm: The Breath Practice that Builds Confidence with Author & Breathwork Facilitator, Anthony Abbagnano

    What if the most powerful tool for clarity, confidence, and calm… has been with you your entire life? In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Abbagnano—author of Outer Chaos, Inner Calm and founder of Alchemy of Breath—who has trained thousands of facilitators worldwide and spent over 40 years in the wellness space. We dive into something deeper than the “breathwork” you might be thinking of. This isn’t about forcing, pushing, or intense techniques. This is about conscious connected breathing—a simple, grounded, and powerful practice that helps you move out of your head… and back into your body. Because the truth is:You can’t think your way into confidence.You have to feel safe enough in your body to become it. In this conversation, we explore:– How your breath is directly linked to inner self-confidence– Why most people are disconnected from their breath (and what it’s costing them)– The difference between suppressing emotions vs actually processing them– How to find calm when your external world feels chaotic– A simple, practical breathing technique you can use immediately– The biggest misconception about breathwork (and why it doesn’t need to be “hard” or extreme to be effective) Anthony shares how conscious connected breathing allows you to move from:self-doubt → self-trustoverwhelm → claritychaos → calm And most importantly—how to start, even if you’ve never done anything like this before.

    34. Stop Blaming Your Parents, Partner & Perimenopause

    This might be a controversial episode, but everything I do is deeply rooted in compassion. This episode is no different. We need to talk about something nobody in the wellness space is saying out loud. We have more licensed psychologists than ever before in history. More therapy apps, more mental health awareness, more diagnoses, more labels, more validation than any generation before us. And yet we have more depressed, anxious, stressed and medicated humans than ever. So is validation alone actually healing us? In this episode, I'm talking about: 🔥 Why we've swung too far from suppression into a validation trap that's keeping women stuck🔥 The labels we hide behind — ADHD, anxiety, narcissistic abuse, perimenopause, attachment styles — and the question nobody is asking: what are we actually DOING about it?🔥 Why most psychologists are validating pain without moving people forward🔥 Why social media is great for validation but NOT the place people actually get better🔥 The difference between explanation and transformation🔥 What TRUE compassion actually looks like🔥 Why inner capacity doesn't come through comfort — and what 20 minutes a day can actually do for your life🔥 Why the first four weeks of my 90 Days to Inner Self-Confidence program are dedicated entirely to building inner capacity through discomfort Your diagnosis is not your destiny.Your past is not your prison.Your hormones are not your identity. Your past informs you, it doesn't define you. You are a human with an extraordinary capacity to heal — and all it takes is the courage to do the uncomfortable work.

    32. Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back with Author Alicia Cook

    "Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back" isn't about being flaky—it's a nervous system snapshot. In this powerful conversation, Katie sits down with poet Alicia Cook, bestselling author of Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately and the viral poem Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back, to unpack why so many women go silent when life gets overwhelming. This isn't about avoidance or laziness. It's about freeze and fawn—survival responses women learn early to stay safe, likable, and low-maintenance. In this episode, we explore: Why women disappear when they're struggling (and why it's not weakness—it's disconnection from the body)How freeze and fawn show up in relationships, work, and everyday lifeThe turning point when Alicia realized: "I don't owe everyone access to me"What regulation looks like in real life (not theory)Alicia's sobriety journey and the benefits of getting honest with herselfWhat inner self-confidence actually means—and how it changes everything This conversation will validate every woman who's ever gone quiet, apologized for existing, or stayed "nice" when she wanted to scream. If you've ever felt safer disappearing than disappointing someone, this episode is for you.

    31. What We Don't Speak, We Store

    What We Don't Speak, We Store In this powerful episode, Katie Delimon reveals the profound truth that silence doesn't protect us—it destroys us from the inside out. Born out of infidelity and kept a secret for 38 years, Katie shares her deeply personal journey of discovering her biological father's identity and the generational trauma of emotional suppression that nearly cost her everything. From her mother's battle with ovarian cancer to her own struggles with IBS, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and toxic relationships, Katie unpacks the science behind what happens when we swallow our truth. Studies show that emotional suppression increases cancer risk by 70% and that women who silence themselves in conflict are 4x more likely to die. This isn't just about one family's secrets—it's about a culture that rewards women for staying quiet. Katie also addresses the uncomfortable silence in the wellness industry around the Epstein files and Deepak Chopra's involvement. If you've ever felt a knot in your stomach from words you've never spoken, this episode will give you permission to finally speak up—even when your voice shakes. Katie is delivering 5 keynotes in March on this topic, including speaking at the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Brisbane and Sydney. 🎤 Get tickets Connect with Katie:📷 Instagram: https://instagram.com/katiedelimon📖 Get the book Trust the Flames: https://www.katiedelimon.com/trust-the-flames💬 Inner Self Confidence Program: https://www.katiedelimon.com/inner-self-confidence📅 Free strategy call: https://calendly.com/katie-katiedelimon/30min

    29. Self Love is Keeping You Stuck!

    Self-love gets all the hype. Bubble baths. Affirmations. “Accept yourself as you are.” But what if self-love is keeping you stuck? In this bold Valentine’s Day episode, Katie breaks down the uncomfortable truth: loving yourself isn’t enough. You can love yourself and still tolerate disrespect. You can love yourself and still abandon your goals. You can love yourself and still poison your body, overgive in relationships, and betray your own standards. Self-respect is different. Self-respect asks: Are your actions aligned with your future? Are you keeping the promises you make to yourself? Does your calendar reflect what you say matters? Katie shares raw personal stories from her 20s — functional alcoholism, toxic relationships, chronic anxiety — and the turning point where she realized she didn’t lack self-love… she lacked self-respect. She also breaks down: • Why most women fail their goals (hint: it’s not discipline) • The difference between compassion and self-betrayal • Why asking for help is self-respect • How inner self-confidence is built through alignment, not affirmation • Why your time tells the truth about what you actually respect If you’ve ever said “I love myself” while still tolerating less than you deserve — this episode will hit. This isn’t about being harder on yourself. It’s about honoring yourself. And that changes everything. 🌐 Connect with Me Online: 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/katiedelimon 📘 Get my book Trust the Flames: https://www.katiedelimon.com/trust-the-flames 🔗 90 Days to Inner Self-Confidence https://www.katiedelimon.com/inner-self-confidence
