Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Ashley Neese, here to anchor us into the present moment.    Ashley is a renowned breathwork teacher, writer, mother, land steward, host of the podcast ‘The Deeper Call’ and author of the book ‘Permission to Rest.’ Listen along as we dive into her world and begin to understand the journey it took for her to fully show up Here, Now.    This episode highlights Ashley’s lifelong quest to honor her truest self and shows how that commitment has shaped her own healing, career, creativity,  inner work,  evolution with sobriety, and the expansion of family with her partner, Nic. Our conversation  is here to serve anyone who is struggling at any level and may benefit from a gentle and loving reminder to  pause, rest, reflect and begin the courageous process of fully accepting themselves… starting with our breath!     From her trauma-informed, regenerative breathwork to  unpacking the roots of addiction, Ashley’s perspective is candid, kind and courageous. Thank you Ashley for joining us and lighting the way for 2024.    Join us for a Jam Session next Wednesday, January 17th at 1 pm PST on our host’s IG live– tune in for a Regenerative Breathwork demo  and a Q+A with Ashley and Nitsa  –  see you soon!    ** As a note for listeners, we  touch upon Alcoholics Anonymous, sobriety and trauma in this episode.
