From Grumpy to Grateful
When I first began working with my own breath, it wasn’t about building a business or leading others. It was about just trying to get back to my happy old self and… to enjoy the life I had!
After my first child, I struggled with postnatal depression and found myself often grumpy, easily triggered, and short with the people I loved most.
I felt guilty for being angry, but I didn’t know how to change it.
What made the difference wasn’t the 10 years of self development seminars…
It was learning how to regulate my own breathing behaviors.
That shift, from being reactive to being regulated...
Saved my marriage.
It made me a better mom.
It gave me space to respond...
instead of snapping.
It turned grumpiness into gratitude.
And the ripple effects touched every part of my life: my health, my family, my relationships.
Naturally, we began sharing these practices with our clients.
What we witnessed was profound: they also experienced less stress, more balance, and a renewed sense of purpose.
They told us how it changed their relationships, their work, even their outlook on life!
That’s why our vision has become so clear: a well-regulated world.
A world where people breathe through challenges instead of breaking under them.
A world where better decisions can be made before stress takes over.
A well-regulated world starts one person at a time.
Every time someone learns to regulate instead of react...
It creates steadiness that ripples into families, workplaces, and communities.
If you want to be part of creating that well-regulated world, we'd love to have you join the waitlist for the release of our Behavioral Breathwork Facilitator Certification.
In Gratitude,
Angie (and Shane) Saunders

The Forgotten Skill of Breathing
The general population assumes that if they’re alive, they must be breathing fine.
But here’s the truth: how you breathe when you’re not thinking about it quietly shapes everything…
Your performance, your stress levels, your sleep, even your ability to regulate emotions.
Breathing isn’t just automatic. It’s a behavior.
And like any behavior, it can be learned… and mislearned.
Over time, dysfunctional habits, like overbreathing, settle in below awareness.
From that point on, every meeting, every workout, every stressful moment is influenced by patterns you don’t even realize you’re carrying.
The ripple effects are huge.
Dysfunctional breathing contributes to chronic anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, tension, and even emergency hospital visits.
Yet because these habits are unconscious, people spend years searching for solutions that never address the root cause.
Doctors often find nothing “wrong” and symptoms get labeled as stress, leaving millions of people to believe they just have to “live with it”.
The good news is this:
Dysfunctional patterns can be unlearned.
Through awareness and practice, healthier breathing behaviors become automatic again.
And when they do, symptoms subside, balance returns, and people feel stable, clear, and confident in their own body.
Breathing well, without having to control it all the time, isn’t always automatic.
It’s a foundational skill we’ve lost touch with… and one that can be restored.
It’s not about perfect control.
It’s about restoring a natural rhythm that supports you automatically,
in the background of every moment.
That’s why our work always comes back to this simple truth: breathing well is a basic human skill.
And it’s time we found our way back to it.
This is exactly why our training exists…
To help people use this skill in a way that’s grounded, practical, and lasting.

Facilitator Recap of the Week...
Building What I Wished We Had
When we first started our breathwork business (Breathe Me), I remember wishing there was a place where I could ask the real questions.
-
What do I do when a client has a big emotional release?
-
How do I explain this work in a way people actually understand?
-
Where do I even begin when it comes to finding clients?
Back then, we had to figure it all out ourselves…
Session by session, workshop by workshop.
That’s why our mission is two-fold:
-
To help individuals learn to regulate their own breathing behaviors,
-
And to train facilitators who can bring this to their families, clients, and communities... while building a sustainable business doing it.
Because this knowledge doesn’t just help one person...
It creates ripples that touch entire families and communities.
And that’s what brings us here today.
We’re now building what I wished we had when we started: the next evolution of the Behavioral Breathwork Facilitator Certification, followed by the Facilitator Studio Membership Community.
It’s the kind of support I longed for in the early days… a place where you don’t have to do this alone.
A space to learn at your own pace, connect with other certified facilitators, get feedback, and keep growing both your skills and your business.
This week marks the beginning of what’s next...
We’ll be launching the new certification in just a few weeks, and to tell you the truth…
I am really excited about this one.
