    Season 1 Ep.8: Finding Resilience, Stability and Contentment with Lacey Lloyd

    Season 1 Ep.8: Finding Resilience, Stability and Contentment with Lacey Lloyd

    In this episode, Lacey Lloyd talks about the transformation she has gone through, almost as a coming home to herself.  She shares how Breathwork has brought her Resilience, Stability and Contentment as three pillars for her life. 

    Lacey manages to offer the most practical and understandable description of Breathwork I have heard to date. I appreciate this on so many levels. It is my goal to hold space and help as many people as possible. The challenge is, not a lot of people know what Breathwork is and when they hear about it, they are just not sure it's for them. I think it scares some people off, especially when it gets super woo woo, the way Meditation used to 10 years ago. 

    One way to ensure people get help they need is to make Breathwork understandable and relatable. To make it something people are curious about and interested in trying for themselves.  Lacey does this in today's conversation. 

    Lacey can be reached on: Facebook and Instagram @Renewed Living Yoga

    As always, I can be reached on my Facebook page or my Facebook Community Celebrate and Reinvent Yourself, Instagram @opicoaching and finally my website (www.opicoaching.com). I would love to connect and help you explore if Breathwork is for you.
