This episode is a masterclass in all things breathwork, Kundalini, meditation, and deep emotional healing. When I did a trip to California this year I had this insane virus that was affecting the nerves in my neck. I was in so much pain and it was very much mirroring this emotional pain that I was in. I ended up having a one-on-one breath work session with Erika and I cried like a baby. It was the first time that I felt safe to actually let go and acknowledge how much pain I was in. I loved her technique and the way that she taught and held space for me felt so comfortable — I knew that I had to have her on the podcast so that she could give you guys a little bit of that magic that she shared with me and our one-on-one breathwork session.  Links from the ep:  use code olivia for 15% off your first one-month supply of NOBS using this link betterbiom.com/olivia receive 20% OFF any AquaTru purifier using code "JUICE" using this link: AquaTru.com sign up for unlimited mediations and resources with Erika using this link: evolvebyerika.com Here's the juice: Erika's breathwork method and how to use it in your own practice why it's so important for you to start your day with a 5-minute meditation or sound healing how breathwork can help you “take out the garbage” from yesterday so that you can actually have space for what's coming in today why  actively letting go and releasing through your own voice and breath helps set you up to receive the goodness that you might otherwise be blocking how to use breathwork to tackle real-life stress in the moment how to create a very simple morning routine and practice where you can utilize the techniques that she learned to really catapult yourself into a whole different chapter of your life  how simply changing the state that you're in when you wake up can set your whole day up for success how breathwork and Kundalini can raise your energy and help you access joy why changing your own energy has a palpable impact on those around you  other energetic techniques that you can learn and lean on during the different phases of your life  how and why breathwork works to soothe, balance, and nourish your nervous systems Connect with Erika: Follow HERE Web HERE Connect with Olivia: Follow HERE Shop herbal formulas HERE

This episode with Evy Poumpouras might be one of my favorite conversations of all time. Evy is a multimedia journalist who once served as an agent in the US Secret Service, protecting Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and others. She also worked criminal investigations, operated undercover, and was an interrogator for the agency’s polygraph unit specially trained in the art of lie detection, human behavior, and cognitive influence. It’s no wonder she believes that words are your most powerful weapon and she loves teaching about how to protect yourself, read people, influence situations, and live fearlessly.
