  What if each inhale is your first act of agency—and each exhale a rehearsal for letting go? Author and founder of Alchemy of Breath, Anthony Abbagnano, joins Kathy to show how breathwork shifts us from a choiceless, trauma-driven loop into creative, conscious choice. You’ll learn a simple “10-breath” practice for hot moments (at work or at home), why resistance is an informant not an enemy, and how presence turns outer chaos into inner calm.

In this episode, Kathy and Anthony discuss:

• Trauma, the amygdala, and the “choiceless mindset” (fight/flight/freeze)
• Breath as spiritual channel and daily, always-available regulation tool
• The 10-Breath practice for conflict: co-regulation, eye contact, and reset
• Agency vs. reactivity: reclaiming authorship and presence
• Resistance as data: dialoguing with it rather than battling it
• Practical rituals: beginning again after stillness; bringing breath into teams, relationships, and tough rooms
