|------|---------|------------|
| **00:00 – 01:15** | **Welcome & Host Intros** | Sharmin Prince & Mitzy Dadoun introduce the episode and set the intention. |
| **01:15 – 02:30** | **Guided Breathing Exercise** | A three‑round deep‑inhale/hold/exhale practice to center listeners. |
| **02:30 – 03:30** | **Meet Brittany** | Brief bio: transformational coach, mastery‑certified, breathwork facilitator; focus on mindset mastery, self‑sabotage, breaking limitations. |
| **03:30 – 07:00** | **What Is Breathwork?** | • Different breath patterns & names (quick vs. slow, box, three‑part). <br>• Intensity = speed of breath; intention = what you want (inspiration, peace, insight, energy release). |
| **07:00 – 09:00** | **Session Length & Customization** | Typical 60–90 min “active breathing” block; can be 1–5 min in a regular coaching call; even a 4‑minute personal reset for low‑energy moments. |
| **09:00 – 13:00** | **Why Breathwork Matters in Transitions** | • Moves you from head to body. <br>• Regulates nervous system → internal safety. <br>• Clears stuck energy like a “reverse vacuum.” |
| **13:00 – 18:30** | **Client Story: The Asthmatic Skeptic** | • Client feared breathwork because of past asthma. <br>• Built safety (inhaler on hand, “play” mindset). <br>• 10‑minute session created immediate sense of shift; later built a daily 5‑minute habit to boost energy & confidence. |

| **25:00 – 30:30** | **First Advice for the “Stuck”** | 1️⃣ Get crystal‑clear on what you **want** (or flip what you don’t want). <br>2️⃣ Identify core values; use a 1‑10 “Wheel of Life” rating. <br>3️⃣ Choose ONE tiny action (5 % shift) that injects a value into a life area today. |
| **30:30 – 33:15** | **Rapid‑Fire Questions** | • Most transformative mindset tool: **Deeper desire** <br>• Biggest pet‑peeve in self‑sabotage: “working *on* work” <br>• Life‑changing book: *The Big Leap* (Gay Hendricks) <br>• Breathwork vs. meditation: **Breathwork** <br>• Daily fuel: **Coffee** <br>• Advice to younger self: “Define success for yourself.” <br>• One word for listeners: **Empowered** |

## 📌 Key Takeaways
1. **Breathwork is a flexible toolbox** – match breath speed, depth, and pattern to the intention (energy, calm, insight).
2. **Safety first** – especially for beginners or those with health concerns; give permission to pause, modify, or keep an inhaler nearby.
3. **Small, consistent practices win** – a 5‑minute daily breath reset can cascade into confidence and productivity across life domains.
4. **Clarify direction before the path** – if you’re “stuck,” start by defining (or reverse‑engineering) what you *don’t* want, then spotlight core values and a 5 % action today.
5. **Breathwork moves you out of the head** – it anchors you in the body, regulates the nervous system, and frees stuck energy that blocks decisions and creativity.
6. **Free daily coaching is available** via The Transformation Table—great for live guided breathwork or rapid problem‑solving.
