We Aren’t “broken” We’re Just Overstimulated and Dysregulated, with Ronan O' Brien

About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of overstimulation and dysregulation on our well-being, featuring insights from breathwork facilitator Ronan O' Brien.

Have we ever wondered what kind of mask we’re wearing and for who? And if it’s even doing us any good at all? Are we ready to see who’s behind these masks? Are we open to taking responsibility for our own nervous systems and burnout, and come home to ourselves? This heart-warming episode is for all of us out there who might be suffering from burnout, stress, anxiety, worry, a loss of self and a questioning of who we really are, with a gentle guidance back home to our safe and self-cared selves. I am absolutely delighted to have a kind and friendly guest on the podcast, straight from my home country, Ireland, Ronan O’ Brien, a very admirable person who is an Irish breath work, nervous-system and self-awareness facilitator, and the founder of Breathwave Ireland. A person who knows exactly what it’s like to feel lost and in pain which is what lead him to where he is today. ´´We aren’t “broken” we’re just overstimulated and dysregulated`` Find a self-care, safe and comfy space just for you, with the intention for you to receive exactly what you need for your highest and best good, with a warm and open heart, mind and ears. Enjoy! Sending love and warmth, 💕 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:40…
