In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with breathwork facilitator, founder of Immersive Breathwork, and creator of The Remembered Self, Ashley Adelman, to explore what it truly means to come home to yourself.From navigating divorce, depression, loneliness, and identity loss to discovering breathwork as a powerful tool for healing emotional trauma, Ashley shares his remarkable journey of transformation and why healing isn't about becoming someone new, it's about remembering who you've always been.We also dive into the science of breathwork, nervous system regulation, emotional release, masculinity, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to strip away everything that no longer serves you.WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF THIS EPISODE...✨ Ashley's journey from stripper to monk to breathwork facilitator✨ The dark night of the soul and rebuilding after divorce✨ How loneliness impacts mental health and emotional wellbeing✨ The science behind breathwork and nervous system regulation✨ Why emotional release is essential for healing✨ How trauma gets stored in the body✨ The difference between resistance and surrender✨ Why vulnerability is actually a form of strength✨ Healing toxic masculinity and emotional suppression✨ What it means to "remember" your authentic selfCONNECT WITH ASHLEY ADELMANInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashedelmanifbbpro/?hl=enImmersive Breathwork:https://www.instagram.com/immersiv.ae/?hl=enAshley Edelman is a transformational breathwork facilitator, founder of Immersive Breathwork, and creator of The Remembered Self.
