We are all under alot of pressure right now and the way we breathe won't take away the work, family or financial pressure but it can change the way we respond.

When we are under alot of pressure juggling work, family and everything else our breathing can become faster and shallower without even realising.

When this becomes a pattern it can be difficult to switch off.
*we might snap at kids or partner (when we dont mean to)
*sit down to relax and feel restless.
*wake in the middle of the night

When we support the way we breath it supports the body to switch off when we need to.
So we can feel less overwhelmed, think clearly and have more energy

Instead of reacting to everything life throws at you.
You have the space to work out what we need and make right decisions for you.

If you recognise yourself in this and you're ready to make a change…

Ready to stop putting yourself last, reconnect with who you are and what you want, and take back control of your life?

DM me "EXHALE" to find out about my new group journey starting 23 November.

This was one of the questions that came up during my Pressure Reset workshop at the North East Expo.

And it's a really important one.

Because sometimes the people we care about are so deep in the demands of everyday life that they don't recognise how much pressure they're under.

Or they recognise it but aren't ready to do anything about it.

So what can we do?

A few things I'd encourage:

1. Be there.
Sometimes someone just needs a person who will listen without trying to fix everything.

2. Offer practical support.
Suggest a walk, a conversation with someone, some time off or support that might help them.

3. Take something off their plate.
Rather than asking them to do more, see if there's something you can help with.

4. Change the environment.
Invite them somewhere different. A change of scenery can sometimes create space to think differently.

5. Don't take it personally if they don't listen.
They might not be ready. You can't force someone to make a change.

6. Keep checking in.
Not just when things are difficult, but when things appear to have improved too.

The hardest thing can be watching someone struggle and knowing you can't make the change for them.

But you can remind them they're not alone.

And sometimes, that's where it starts.

For the women hiding in plain sight.
Who shows up for everyone else, but somewhere along the way have lost touch with themselves. Who are ready to stop putting themselves last, reconnect with who they are and what they want, and take back control of their lives.

Who doesn't want to spend their lives just getting through everything they have to do. They want to enjoy the life they're living.

A space where you can put yourself first, explore what you want and need without the "shoulds," and the responsibilities.

Does this sound like a place for you?

Send me the word "exhale," or book 15minute call to have a chat and discuss whats happening with you right now.
*No pressure you can go away and think about it after the call.

*No pressure you can go away and think about it after the call.

Today on stress awareness day i spoke at the north east expo.

I held a workshop discussing the impact of stress, breathing and how it affects how we show up day to day.

It reminded me of how far i have come in just a few years ago when i went through burnout.

I used to show up.
I used to get things done.
I met the deadlines.
Supported friends.
Didn't speak up
Didn't make a fuss
Just got on with it
It looked like i had everything under control.

But beneath the surface i was crumbling, feeling stressed all the time, couldn't rest, always on the go, until eventually my body made me stop.

Stress and pressure don't come out of nowhere, they build, quietly, and slowly, you might even think it's just how life is or who you are.

Often we don't even realise because it has just become our "normal."

I don't believe we should have to wait until our bodies force us to stop before we start paying attention.

We spend so much time learning how to manage everything around us. Perhaps it's time we paid a little more attention to how we treat ourselves.

Today check in on the colleague/friend/partner who gets on with it, who shows up, who doesn't complain, and ask them how you can take a bit of pressure off them.

If you notice yourself in some of these behaviours, when you're ready to start releasing some of the pressure , start making space for yourself, I'm here to support you.

Ive been on a journey the last few years putting myself and my health first, it has definitely had its up and downs up but now i want to help and support others.

I'm passionate about supporting people who spend so much time looking after everyone else to feel more in control of their own bodies and lives.

Using breath, sound and movement, i help people release the pressure, reconnect with themselves and change how they respond to life's demands.
So they can stop surviving and start living, taking back control of how they want to live.

If you'd like to find out more about getting support, drop me a message and lets have a chat.

When you're told you're too quiet, but speaking up means you're too loud or being difficult, it can feel easier to say nothing.

To keep the peace. To not make a fuss. To say just enough to get by.

Over time, you might find yourself holding back, even when there's something you want to say.

Or you just say: "i don't mind," when actually you do.

Your Voice workshop
Is a 90minute workshop combining breath, sound and movement to explore your relationship with your voice and how you express yourself.

A space to explore how you express yourself, notice when you hold back, and experiment with the different ways of using your voice, without the pressure to perform, be louder or get it right.

Im Laura Duffy, breath and nervous system coach.
I was always the quiet one.
Through my own with the breath and the nervous system i've developed a different relationship with my voice.
I've even started receiving compliments on the tone, quality, something i wouldn't have expected.

Your voice is an opportunity to explore what you can do with your voice, without pressure or expectations.
