ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I sat down with MJ Renshaw — founder of The Being Method and author of How to Cry — and we went deeper than the usual breathwork conversation. We connected breath to our ability to follow through on daily tasks and goals in ways most people don’t notice, but that matter greatly.
MJ’s work blends science and spirituality. With her background in anatomy and physiology, plus lived experience navigating trauma and emotional shutdown, she teaches breathwork in a way that connects what’s happening in your body with why you might still feel stuck, even when you “know better.”
For so many high-achieving women — especially ADHD entrepreneurs — the issue isn’t lack of intelligence, awareness, or strategy. It’s that your nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to follow through.
We talked about how modern life trains us into stress-based breathing patterns, how that keeps the body in urgency, overwhelm, and avoidance, and why forcing yourself to “calm down” can backfire.
Instead, MJ shares how to meet your nervous system where it is, and how your breath can create space between your initial reaction and how you actually want to respond.
That pause is where you stop repeating old patterns… and start choosing something different.
We also explored crying, anger, and sensitivity, not as things to suppress or fix, but as signals your body is trying to process.
If you’ve been trying to think your way into action… this will shift how you approach it. ✨
