Living on Lemonade with Lauren

81. Chatting Breathwork with Theresa Porter

Today's episode is a conversation my friend Theresa Porter invited me to have for her podcast and as always, we structure it in a way that we can use these conversations for both of our podcasts.
As part of her wellness series, she asked me to come on her podcast and talk about breathwork for daily life.
While I'm not a breathwork facilitator, I have used it for most of my life for different things and can give some great tips for those who would like to use it for stress management in every day life as I do.
You can find Theresa at www.TheresaPorter.ca or on TikTok @theresaporter.
If you'd like to come hang out with me online, you can find me in the Living on Lemonade Facebook community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livingonlemonadewithlauren

78. Reflections from my birthday

In today's episode, I share some reflections from my birthday this past weekend and how it feels to experience the duality of gratitude and grief on my birthday.
Society tells us to focus on the gratitude and while I think it's important, honouring and sitting with our grief is just as important so that we can move the energy when it comes to the surface.

77. Using Discernment When Working With Mentors

In this episode, I chat about the importance of staying true to your own soul compass when you're in a position to be influenced by the mentors you choose to work with.
I share some of my experiences and how I've navigated working with mentors to get the most out of the experience and not lose myself along the way.
Coming up: Soul Care hours- September 11th at 8pm ET and September 30th 1pm ET inside Zoom.
You can get the Zoom links from the events created inside the Living on Lemonade Facebook community.
Monthly class- September 19th at 8pm ET. September's topic is water.

76. Reflections From My Massage Appointment

In today's episode, I riff a bit on some aha moments I've had over the last few months during my monthly massage appointments. Bringing curiosity into my sessions has helped me deepen my connection to my body and also learn more about what causes the pain that shows up as knots and ways I can mitigate it. I also use breathwork to move through the pain when my RMT is working out some of the knots in my neck, back and shoulders. If body awareness is a new topic, I encourage you to pop back to episode 2 of the podcast and have a listen. Feel free to use it as a tool to start building some safety, curiosity and awareness to your own body.

BONUS: September Intuitive Card Pull and Message

This bonus episode was a nudge that I felt to tune into the intention of September, originally for myself and then to expand to those who are meant to listen.
Take a listen and if you have any aha moments, I'd love for you to share them.

Happy September!

75. Chill Out Class

This week's episode is a replay of the August class inside the Living on Lemonade Facebook community.
August's topic is the Wim Hof Method.
I share my own experience with the method, along with the science and biology of how it works and the benefits of doing it.
Note: I am not a WHM practitioner but it's on my bucket list to become one.
I also want to emphasize that the breathwork should NEVER be done in an environment that is not safe.
Do not do deep breathwork in water or while driving, regardless if its WHM or other techniques.
Aaaand, I noticed I was using the wrong term in part of the training. I was saying "stem cell" and meant "brain stem" lol soooo that's what I meant.
Enjoy the training and if you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
I'll be scheduling September events soon so you can get the details inside the Living on Lemonade Facebook community and hang with us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livingonlemonadewithlauren
