Our top 25 countdown continues, coming in at number 14, breathwork coach, Anna Lillia.

I got to be honest, I am totally unsurprised that this episode ended up in our top 25,

given how often I have personally utilized the tools that Anna shares in this episode,

and how often I hear her voice in my head, reminding me to just breathe.

Anna, I'm so happy to be with you today.

Likewise.

I'm excited to talk to you.

Anna, can you tell me about a time in your own life when you felt stuck?

Oh.

I'm like, which time?

You know, I've always been someone who has very clear goals, but then there have been moments where I get comfortable, even though deep down inside I'm not happy.

But there's a part of me that's like, well, can it really get any better?

Like when I've been in relationships that I've outgrown, but it just feels so much more

uncomfortable to end it and then start all over and going to the unknown,

then to really trust myself and be like,

even if there isn't anything better,

like I need to honor the fact that I'm not happy right now and I need to move on.

So there's been times where I have felt stuck in relationships.

Before I was doing breath work, I was working as an actor.

And that industry, you feel not in control at all. Like, you don't choose when you get an audition,

when you work, or anything. And even though I was successful in that, there was a point in that career where I just

did feel stuck. And I'm like, okay, there has to be more. I want to be more in control of my life.
