Breathe Easy | the Podcast

It's been a minute hunny, but let's finish this szn out! Victoria and I have both started some new beginnings, but this time we're doing things a lil bit different. This time we're doing it our way. In this episode we talk about the challenges and the beauties of new beginnings and we end it with a toast to what's to come! 

If you haven't heard the song, listen to that first and then turn this episode up to continue the conversation. This week's episode is a love story between the power of our hair and our sense of self.

When a baby cries the world stops to figure out what's wrong, but as soon as we become an adult.....we get labeled as being "emotional" for doing the same thing. Nobody talks about how weird that switch is. In this week's episode, we're talking about the weirdness of the switch, the importance of emotions and what to do with them.

This adulting thing is a little ghetto and we got something to say about it. In this episode we're laughing through our list of things that we just hate to see in hopes to offer some comedic relief to your week.

Season 2 is here, let the year finally begin! Last season was fun, this season is personal. We're taking a step back from the guests and allowing you all to get to know me, Katie Marie with my good sis along for the ride all season long. I am super excited to see what this season holds and still a little nervous, but bump it, we ball. 

2022 has been a wild ride, but it has come and it has gone. In this episode, it's just you, me, and the mic wrapping up our very first season together and reflecting on what this year has taught me.

In today's episode, we sit down with Quintunya Chapman-Hamilton. She shares with us the importance of taking yourself there even though we warn everyone else not to, and how she has learned to give herself grace through her growth.

Mindset doesn't change the situation you're in, but a positive mindset changes your ability to deal with the situation you're in. In today's episode, we're talking with Kendall Rahim as she shares her journey through becoming a pro bikini bodybuilder and surviving ulcerative colitis.

In 2020. our age group had the highest voter turnout since the voting age has been lowered to 18. To say the power of the vote rest in our hands is an understatement, but knowing our vote has that much power can be a little stressful. In today's episode, we sit down with Sammy Kanter & Maddie Medved to talk about how to turn that political stress into action!

“What if” two words that have the power to steal, kill and destroy any good thing, big dream or great idea, but can also spark enough curiosity in a single person to convince them to actually go for it. In today’s episode, we talk with Jaelin Gant about not falling into things that are easy, but instead leaning in and aligning with what you’re meant to do. Then she blesses us with all the major ke...

Grief fundamentally changes who you are. Even though it can feel like a cloud you can’t get from underneath, grief is an expression of love. It is a representation of how we love a person even after they’re not physically here, it helps us remember the sweet memories of the past and it reveals to us the courage and strength that comes through the hardest times. It’s an experience that you’ll never...

In this episode, we get all up in my business, nerd out on marvel and tackle overcoming our kryptonite.

For the next few episodes, it’s just you, me, and the mic! In this episode, we're talking about a conversation I had at Panera, why I think our generation is leaving the church, and how to build your faith.

Breathe Easy is a safe place for  myself and this community. In this episode, I’m  sharing my thoughts on the decision, and we’re siting down with public affairs manager and lobbyist Megan Gordon to clear up the confusion out that the overturning actually means, where we go from here and hopefully give a little bit of hope.

Passion is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but around here we prefer to use the word committed. Commitment means through the muck and the clear skies. In this episode, we talk to Jerrell Simpson about being committed, holding the vision, trusting the process, and going from defeated to destined. 

We are all taught to have a plan, set a goal, and go for it, but what happens when things don't go as planned? In today's episode, we talk to Raven Fairley about holding the vision, adapting, and walking by faith.

You can't be everything to everyone if you don't have anything to give. In this week's episode, we talk with Dr. Korinne Edwards,  a mental health nurse practitioner, to talk about the stigma surrounding the use of medication to treat our mental health concerns, prioritizing yourself and mental wellness.

Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward. In this week's episode, we sit down with Donielle Hair to talk about what it means to fail forward, and how we can use failure as leverage to propel us forward.

In response to the overwhelming love I still get from the self-care episode I figured it'd be beneficial to talk to someone that actually has expertise in that area. In this episode, we really dive into mental wellness, what it actually is, and how we break down the stigma around it with licensed counselor Herbert Wilkerson.

Our twenty-somethings are such a transitional time in our lives with so many moving pieces. One of my favorite quotes for this season is  "Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible."  In this episode, we sit down with TwentySomethings star Raquel Daniels to talk about all things transition in our twenties.

When I think of mental wellness I think of self-love and when I think of self-love I think of living in our truths. We hear that phrase all the time, but in this episode, Sasha Nicole sheds light on what it actually means, what it looks like, and how we get there. 

Becoming an adult is hard. So, it's no wonder that this period of our lives is also popularly associated with having a mental breakdown. In this next series, I am sitting down with mental health professionals and people that have made it their calling to help others overcome their mental health. It is my hope that this series will play a small part in breaking the stigma around mental health,...

We can't be besties and you don't even know me! In this episode, we're wrapping up the black excellence series and I'm letting you all in a little bit into part of my process on this journey called life. From my birth story to why I love fitness so much, we're talking about it all!

Our twenty-somethings are such a culturally significant time in our lives full of transitions. In today's episode, we are sitting down with Chester Hutcherson to talk about all the things he is doing: engineer by day, Nike Yardrunner, business owner, scholarship founder, etc by night, and getting his insight on how we can all make the most of our twenty-somethings, and lay the foundation of w...

The path to success isn't always linear. You may come up short, you may get told you aren't enough, and you might just get handed a bad card. All of these things are constructing your paradigm. In today's episode, we are talking with James Davis about how escaping your paradigm, blocking out the noise, and keeping the main thing the main thing.
