If “just take a deep breath” has ever made you feel worse instead of better… this episode will explain exactly why.
Because what if the world’s oldest wellness advice — from yoga studios to therapy offices — has it backward?
We’ve been told to inhale more, fill up, expand, “breathe in the light.”
But calm doesn’t come from taking in more air — it comes from learning to breathe less, exhale better, and tolerate more CO₂.
In this bold, myth-busting conversation, Kate Garland — midlife reinvention coach, intuitive guide, and lifelong yoga therapist — unpacks the real science and spirituality of the breath: how carbon dioxide (yes, the thing we were taught to fear) is actually the mineral of your respiration — the key that lets oxygen unlock and nourish your cells.
You’ll learn why:
This is yoga meets neuroscience.
Pranayama meets parasympathetic.
Patrick meets the Priestess.
And once you hear it, you’ll never “just take a deep breath” again.
