What happens when burnout, grief, and resistance collide… and you finally take a deep breath?

In this powerful episode of Breathwork Magic, host Amanda Russo sits down with Susanna, a former tech executive turned somatic breathwork facilitator and transformational coach for a deep and vulnerable conversation on healing, emotional release, and spiritual awakening through the breath.

Susanna shares how years of high-performance living and personal loss culminated in burnout and how one life-altering Breathwork session cracked her open, revealing a path of clarity, purpose, and connection. Amanda and Susanna explore the full spectrum of Breathwork’s impact: from grief and anxiety to joy, sensuality, and 5D consciousness.
