Bloom with a Boom! Grounded by daily practice.

I’m back after a little hiatus—and I’ve got something new and exciting for you. I’m putting together a private podcast series (yep, a little off-the-main-feed bonus just for you!) with 4–5 episodes that go deep into the embodiment tools that are changing my life right now: breathwork, somatics, and self-awareness practices.In this episode, I walk you through how my relationship with breathwork has shifted over the years. At first, it was all about learning the tool, training, and facilitating sessions for others. But slowly, it became less about “doing it right” and more about how it was transforming me from the inside out.Breathwork held me through grief after my dad passed. It helped me sit with the messy feelings, clear the stories looping in my head, and begin to feel lighter again. Over time, I’ve discovered that these practices aren’t just about mastery—they’re about living with more presence, ease, and joy.One of the biggest shifts for me lately has been exploring positive projection. Not bypassing, not toxic positivity, but doing the inner work so I can actually feel better about myself—and in turn, about the people around me.If you’re curious about how these practices can move from being “tools we use” to becoming the way we actually live and relate, this episode is for you. And if you’re ready to go deeper, keep an ear out for my upcoming free private podcast series—I’d love for you to join me there.00:00 Introduction and Podcast Update00:43 The Journey of Self-Discovery02:02 Personal Wellness and Daily Practices03:33 The Power of Breath Work05:02 Becoming a Breathwork Facilitator12:04 Grief and Healing Through Breath Work15:24 The Impact of Silent Meditation20:30 Positive Projection and Manifestation24:50 Conclusion and InvitationMy contact info!Podcast FB group:  ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/859832058689723⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccahappybreaths/ Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode, and let’s connect on social media since I’m always looking for feedback, new guests and new friends!  The FB group offers additional content and a chance to connect further :) I’m overjoyed and humbled to have you in this community, as we can never have too many conversations about healing and blooming!

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Brigette Gildemaster — a breathwork facilitator, 2x best-selling author, and survivor of both romantic and spiritual abuse — for a conversation that’s as raw as it is inspiring.Brigette’s story is one of unimaginable strength. Growing up in a rigid, high-control religious environment where there were no models of what it meant to be free — let alone be an authentic woman — she still found the courage to walk away from everything she knew. She left a marriage marked by profound betrayal and spiritual suppression, even as her community urged her to stay silent and compliant.What moves me so deeply about Brigette is that she began making the massive outer changes — reclaiming her body, her voice, her safety — before she had the inner tools or nervous system support in place. And that took a kind of bravery many never get to witness up close.Together, we talk about the healing practices we love (and those we don’t), the quiet power of breathwork, and how Brigette navigated single motherhood, grief, and the unknown to rebuild a life rooted in truth, safety, and sovereignty. We also talk business-building, nervous system regulation, and what it actually takes to trust your intuition when it’s been conditioned out of you.This episode is a deep bow to the women who go first — before it’s perfect, before it’s safe — and the power of reclaiming your wholeness, one breath at a time.To connect with Brigette:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/brigettemay.gildemaster/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/brigette_gildemaster/?hl=enYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQyVDtNxDNwWMCFfLeJWFUg BLOG: https://brigettegildemaster.com/featuresPODCAST: https://brigettegildemaster.com/podcastWebsite: https://brigettegildemaster.com/Connect with Rebecca & try breathwork:I’d love to welcome you into my world with a free session for unhooking from the mind, getting into the body, healing your trauma and unlocking your magical gifts!

As I navigate the exciting & sometimes lonely waters of launching a solo biz from my home office, I confront my own tendencies to play mental tennis about all the details. What things are worth investing in/outsourcing to others, and to what degree should I wing it & be the DIY hero of my own story?In fact, I'm a contemplative person by nature. I second guess ... everything (third, 4th, 5th guess...). Right now, as I type, I'm debating whether this should all be in my own words or if I should use my editing software's AI feature to write out a summary. So in this short episode, I go over: accepting help as a budding entrepreneurthe value of delegating tasks, whether to AI or humansmy own process of overcoming my ego & social narratives that pressure us to know & do it allDisclaimer - at this point I have still not hired a web designer, but not due to lack of funds or confidence in my own abilities. So, it's safe to use that old adage, I'm literally teaching what I (still!) need to learn in this episode.Enjoy!FREE BREATHWORK: I’d love to welcome you into my world with a free session for unhooking from the mind, getting into the body, healing your trauma and unlocking your magical gifts!

Happy belated Thanksgiving, and happy 1 year anniversary to my podcast!  Just like cyber Monday extends the spending, the spirit of gratitude can extend into the first week of December ... and beyond, ideally until the end of time!  In this short episode I celebrate the Bloom with a Boom Podcast, including the guests, listeners and friends who’ve helped me along the way, whether through answering my endless tech questions or simply showing support.   And…..becoming a breathwork facilitator has really been the highlight of 2024!  Even though Pause Breathwork is an online/virtual program, it’s offering me a deeper transformation and more embodied feel of what I’m learning than any in-person class or yoga teacher training I’ve ever taken and I’m beginning to offer the full range of my gifts. If you’re interested in becoming a facilitator yourself, here’s a link with more information AND in the meantime I can gift you a free session and a free month of the Pause app:  https://www.pausebreathwork.com/facilitator-training-program/?ref=mduzoti&el=Affiliate From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for being a part of my journey!  Here’s how we can always stay in touch!

Episode 51 celebrates my Albuquersary - 7 years in the land of enchantment, which of course means it’s also a tribute to my incredible father who was the catalyst for me moving here. Share the memories with me in this episode about traveling overseas and returning, personal growth, caring for our families and little bouts of adulting we never saw coming :) until one day we decided to floss, work a normal job & find some respectable friends :) All in all, I'm grateful that my life has meant living in different places. I'm a little too settled to call myself a gypsy, but I've certainly explored and continue to walk with my feet in the earth, and my gaze up ahead at what's coming around the bend. Travel with an open heart, and others will extend theirs to you. Now...for breathwork! Join me for some breathwork, FREE while I’m a still a student!

This is the third installment of this election series, and in this short episode I discuss my own experience integrating the woman who's hurt and scared by the election results with the healer and leader I want to show up as in a healing genre that places a huge emphasis on high vibe language & messaging. As I faced down my own shame at wanting to express my true feelings on social media, I was reminded of the cultural considerations we learn about as trauma informed practitioners. Those aspects of our life path that make it hard to dissipate trauma with an IG reminding us to breathe & be present. Then, in the second part of this solo episode, I offer some of the incredible self care I've been able to offer for myself in the last few days - the deepest dark morning breathwork sessions I've ever offered to myself plus other ways I've nourished my soul. It's not about abandoning our high vibe practices, just being aware of when we need a little more, when the pain and fear needs to be named - our audiences are craving to be seen and understood right now, not just assuaged.

In this short episode I’m diving into that topic that often baffles us - how we can envision a change or shift in our life or daily routine, but struggle to make the change.  Join me as I use my current example of shifting my professional lifestyle to riff on the process of pinpointing and overcoming the identities that keep us “safe” in our comfort zone.  I even geek out on the peripheral nervous system and how breathwork can help break the cycle of fearful thoughts and procrastinating on the changes we want to make.   And on that note…..join me for some breathwork, FREE while I’m a student!   https://calendly.com/bloomwithaboompodcast/60-minute-breathwork-practicum-session   Podcast FB group:  ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/859832058689723⁠ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebecca_yoga_podcast/  Substack: https://substack.com/@rebeccaschlosser?utm_source=profile-page   Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode, and let’s connect on social media since I’m always looking for feedback, new guests and new friends!  The FB group offers additional content and a chance to connect further :)  I’m overjoyed and humbled to have you in this community, as we can never have too many conversations about healing and blooming!  

In this interview we’re exploring the healing power of art with my friend Dawn Renee Bova, a true guiding light in the world who transformed grief over her son’s opioid overdose into a global mission to help others heal through creativity and self-care practices.   Dawn is a multifaceted individual, an internationally collected artist, a 3x international best-selling author, nurse practitioner, and angel mom. Through her weekly podcast, "Catch Some SoulShine," Dawn imparts wisdom and tools to guide others on their journey towards a more fulfilling and empowered life. Spoiler alert….we will all experience grief and loss, but we don’t have to suffer indefinitely.  My cup runneth over after chatting with Dawn about our built in power to raise our vibrational frequency and heal ourselves and others through art, yoga, meditation, journaling and mindfulness practices.  We even touch on some of the scientific research linking creativity to sustainable joy.

It's good to be back my friends! In this solo episode I'm offering a short breathing exercising and reflecting on a year of personal and relational growth, finding autonomy & beginning to untangle the self energy from all the parts we play in life subconsciously, a sneak peak of what's to come. The deepest share I've given in a long time, so join me! Here's the link to sign up for free breathwork! https://calendly.com/bloomwithaboompodcast/60-minute-breathwork-practicum-session

I had THIS Experience on my last day in Hawaii - prompted by my emotional reaction to the state of US affairs, this short episode goes THERE. All the theres. When real life infiltrates our felt experience while on a vacation, and how we shouldn’t fight this natural occurrence of life hitting us a bit more intensely when we are relaxed and undistracted. How we can use this experience to tap into our body’s innate wisdom. Then, I go to another big THERE. When we work in the mind/body industry offering safe experiences to people, yet we are also human with our opinions and voices. How to integrate these 2 aspects of our lives and operate from a place of love and emotional coherence.
