Josh put this video up of me and it made me cry.

All I could think watching it was what a f**cking loser this chick is.

And then it brought up all sorts of feelings about being old (im turning 40 next year) and lame.

But in the moment out there, i was having so much fun . Im@8 weeks PP and it was my first surf back in a very long time and josh as cheering me on while cuddling and smiling with Bruny.

I didn’t want to surf pregnant with Bruny and even before that since Lhotse was born Ive barely surfed. part of me feels sadness and shame around that.

Anyway I guess whatever judgements you might have watching this it couldn’t be harsher than my own self talk. watching it again still makes me want to cry.

So this is just a reminder to myself and maybe you to watch your self talk and maybe take it as a reminder of parts of yourself you feel like you’ve neglected or forgotten… and to bring those parts back online, especially if they bring you joy.

and also that despite what we show of ourselves on here, you can be experiencing the best days of your life alongside lows.

You can be highly intelligent, self reflective, and still miss what your body is trying to tell you. 🙋🏽‍♀️

When people talk about a mind-body disconnection - one major component of what they’re often describing is a disruption in interoception.

Interoception is your ability to sense, interpret and respond to signals arising from within the body and includes the ongoing perception of hunger (or hanger), fatigue, breathing patterns, muscle tension, emotional arousal, and subtle physiological sensations that can indicate something requires your attention ‼️

Many people assume these signals are absent but interestingly, far more often, the signals ARE present, but the brain assigns insufficient salience (importance) to them.

From the perspective of predictive processing, the brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world by combining incoming sensory information with prior experience, expectations and predictions…and this means those predictions become LOUDER than the signal itself. Practically this feels like
- pushing through exhaustion because the task feels more important than rest.
- feeling that you’re not hungry (ie failing to recognise hunger) until you’re starving.
- not noticing chronic jaw tension because the brain has started treating it as normal
- experiencing sadness, stress or overwhelm as headaches, back pain or muscle spasms because physiological changes are recognised before they are consciously identified as emotion.

The goal here is not to monitor or become vigilant to every bodily sensation. The intention is actually accuracy.

Developing interoceptive awareness and accuracy, allows you to recognise stress before it progresses to burnout, identify fatigue before it becomes debilitating exhaustion, notice changes in breathing before they escalate into panic, and respond to subtle early signals rather than waiting for the body’s alarm systems to demand it.

What are the signals and what do those signals mean. Want a technique to test your interoception?

Comment PYRAMID and I’ll send you my five red flags to look for next time someone quotes research, so you can evaluate any health claim in under two minutes.

Nasal breathing is physiologically preferable. Whether mouth tape is the right tool for any individual is an assessment question, not a trend question.

She had been teaching breath for years.
She knew the techniques, she knew the cues, she knew how to hold the room.
What she didn’t know was why any of it actually worked, if it did genuinely work or how to personalise it.

And when a client asked her something she couldn’t answer, she’d do what most of us do - look calm on the outside and quietly panic on the inside.
That gap between how she showed up and how she actually felt? It was getting harder to ignore.
That’s what the women in this video all have in common.
Not that they weren’t excellent, experienced teachers. They all were.
They just hadn’t been given the depth of understanding that allowed them to integrate the knowledge properly or to bring it into a lived transformation in their bodies, instead of concepts in their notes.

That’s what the Advanced Breath Instructor Training does.

Not more techniques. A framework so solid that when something unexpected happens in a session, the answer is already there.

When a client or student asks why, she knows. When she finally sits down to build the workshop she has been putting off for two years, she has something rich, well integrated and unique to build from.
They stopped guessing. And started trusting themselves in the room.
