Irina Lee On Energy | Mindset, Habits & Emotional Mastery

What do you do when you feel stuck… and nothing seems to move you forward? In this episode, I share something very personal. For the last year I've felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of what direction to take next. My instinct was to do more. Move faster. Fix it. But this time, that approach didn’t work. Instead, I had to try something completely different. I had to stop. As I often say to my sist...

What happens after you reach a goal? In this episode, I share something I didn’t expect to feel after turning 50 and celebrating 10 years as a health coach. Instead of clarity, I found myself in a kind of vacuum. A silence. A space that felt both uncomfortable and full of potential. Why can achievement sometimes lead to emptiness? And what do you do when the goal that once drove you… is no longer...

This week I turn 50. Reaching this milestone has made me pause and reflect on what truly matters in the next chapter of my life. What do I want more of? And just as important: What am I ready to let go of? Key idea: Transitions in life often feel uncomfortable. We like stability. We like knowing who we are, what our role is, and where we belong. But sometimes something begins to shift quietly bene...

Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. There’s too much happening at the same time. Too many messages. Too much information. Too many decisions. In this episode, I share honestly how overwhelm shows up in my own life — and how I use conscious breathing to shift from stress to calm clarity. When I feel stressed, my breath becomes faster and more shallow. When my breath speeds up, my nervous system...

In this episode, I sit down with James Nestor , author of the bestselling book Breath , and Anders Olsson , founder of Conscious Breathing. We explore what really happens inside the body when we change the way we breathe. We talk about: • The Stanford experiment where 10 days of mouth breathing changed sleep, energy, and focus • Why carbon dioxide is not the enemy • How nasal breathing affects str...

In this episode, I share one of the simplest and most powerful tools I use daily: Conscious Breathing . For years, I lived in fast mode. I was thinking fast, working fast, reacting fast. I didn’t even realize that I was also breathing fast. And that shallow, rapid breathing kept my body stuck in stress. Everything changed for me in 2020, when uncertainty and overwhelm pushed me close to anxiety. I...

In this episode, I sit down with Mary Barbera — nurse, PhD, board-certified behavior analyst, bestselling author, and one of the world’s leading autism educators — for an honest and deeply practical conversation about autism, early intervention, and the power of habits . Mary shares her personal story of becoming a parent to a son with moderate-to-severe autism, and how that moment changed the dir...

In this episode, I’m joined by Mike R. Holland for a grounded conversation about energy in the body. We explore how movement, breath, and awareness shape not just your physical state, but your focus, creativity, and sense of flow in everyday life.
