Summary
In this episode of Owning It I am joined by Sile Seoige to talk about the power of breathing as a tool for anxiety and how to implement it daily. You already breathe, all day long, so this is a tool that's there for the taking but one we rarely appreciate. Sile walks me through a gorgeous guided meditation as well as dispelling some of the myths about deep breathing and meditation. This will be the last episode of season 1 so please do subscribe to be notified of episode 1 of season 2!

| 0:23.1 | Hello, dear listener, and welcome back to owning it the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline |
| 0:27.7 | Forin. This week, I am so happy to be joined by the incredible Sheila Shoga. She's a Irish TV |
| 0:34.0 | presenter and broadcaster. She speaks regularly at events about breathing and meditation |
| 0:38.6 | and connecting with the breath through yoga. She's found all of those tools so incredibly |
| 0:42.5 | helpful after her own experience with cancer and she's just an incredibly wise woman with so |
| 0:47.4 | much to share. So I was thrilled to get the chance to sit down with her. So the topic of this |
| 0:51.5 | episode is bullshit free breathing and taking breathing as a tool |
| 0:55.5 | for anxiety and seeing how it actually helps, how it affects cortisol, how we can implement it every |
| 1:00.4 | day and really the effect that it will have on our anxiety over a long period of time. It's something |
| 1:05.4 | that I have turned to again and again. It's something sometimes that I've taken for granted |

| 1:10.8 | simple and silly sometimes that it could help with anxiety, but it absolutely does and it cannot be |
| 1:16.1 | disputed. It's just really important that you implement it even on days that you feel good. As the theme of |
| 1:21.9 | this episode is all about breathing and letting go and trusting and just taking a moment, taking a breath, |
| 1:28.2 | befitting that theme, I am also going to be taking a short break and a breath on this podcast |
| 1:33.2 | series and wrapping up season one. It's been 25 episodes. I've been doing it since January. |
| 1:38.3 | I've loved every moment of it, but it's time now for me to take a little break and focus on getting |
| 1:43.0 | my third book written, which will be |
| 1:44.4 | out next year. The podcast, season two, will be back this autumn, so don't worry, it won't be |
| 1:50.0 | too long. And I just need a couple of months to just get myself, get my ducks in a row. If you |
| 1:54.8 | haven't subscribed already, please do so, as you'll be instantly notified whenever the series |
