What if the way you breathe is quietly shaping your energy, sleep, and emotional resilience?
In this conversation with Perrin White — speech-language pathologist, myofunctional therapist, and breath coach — we explore the power of functional breathing in the most down-to-earth, human way. From tongue posture and nasal breathing to how your ribs move when you inhale, Perrin shares how small, anatomy-based shifts can completely change how you feel in your body. You’ll learn how to tell if your tongue is truly resting on the roof of your mouth, why nasal breathing is key for oxygen and nitric oxide, and how to bring ease back into your breath (and your nervous system).
We also go deeper — into grief, child loss, thriving as a single woman and becoming. Perrin opens up about how breath helped her move through loss and reconnect to life, and we talk about what it means to rebuild yourself one ritual at a time. You’ll hear us challenge the loud, forceful breath cues often taught in yoga and explore gentler, low-and-slow patterns that create calm from the inside out. This is a grounded, heartfelt reset for anyone craving more energy, better sleep, and a steadier sense of peace.
