The Power of Oxygen 1st

Ep 115: The Oxygen First Approach to Healing with Lynn Joselyn

Healing hasn’t been one big fix for me. It’s been layer after layer of finally understanding what my body has been trying to say for years. In this episode, I’m talking with Lynn Joselyn about my own health journey — from liver failure and autoimmune symptoms to realizing mold exposure, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation were playing a much bigger role than I understood at the time. We get into what healing actually looked like for me in midlife, especially during the moments when I felt frustrated, exhausted, and confused about why I still didn’t feel good despite trying so many things. Lynn shares how functional and integrative medicine takes a different approach by looking at the whole body instead of chasing individual symptoms. We also talk about sleep, hormones, inflammation, stress, light exposure, circadian rhythm, and why healing is never as simple as a checklist. This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed by wellness advice, or stuck wondering why their body still feels off. And most importantly, it’s a reminder that healing doesn’t have to come from doing more.   In This Episode: * Why healing chronic illness is rarely about one root cause  * How mold toxicity can impact hormones, inflammation, and autoimmune symptoms  * The role circadian rhythm plays in energy, sleep, and vitality  * Why nervous system stress affects physical health more than we realize  * What biofilms are and how they impact chronic health conditions  * The importance of building a personalized health support team  * How curiosity can shift your relationship with your body and healing    Connect with Lynn: Website: https://www.integratedspectrumofhealth.com/ [https://www.integratedspectrumofhealth.com/]   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynn-joselyn-0a832135b/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynn-joselyn-0a832135b/] Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/integrated_spectrum_of_health/ [https://www.instagram.com/integrated_spectrum_of_health/]   Special offer:   Lynn would like to offer listeners $100 off our Functional Lab program - this is a great entry point to membership or if someone is just wanting to get a deeper look but not commit to full membership.  Initial visit history and exam, comprehensive lab panel and a follow up visiit to review labs and targeted treatment plan to get started.  Hailey will create a code and send it to you.   For the Functional Lab Package, listeners can use code OXYGEN at checkout for $100 off * Learn about the Functional Lab Package IntegratedspectrumofhealthFunctional Lab Package | ISH [https://www.integratedspectrumofhealth.com/functional-lab-package] * Patients that enroll in the Functional Lab Package typically have a discovery call first.

EP 114: The Hidden Energy Leaks Costing Your Business Thousands

Sometimes the biggest shift in a business doesn’t come from adding more. It comes from finally being honest about what’s no longer working. In this episode, I’m talking about one of the hardest leadership questions I see business owners struggle with: should you hire or should you fire? I share a personal moment from a difficult week in my own life and how it brought me right back to the conversations I often help leaders navigate inside their businesses. I’m walking through the hidden weight of dysfunctional team dynamics, the exhaustion that comes from constantly managing chaos, and why so many leaders normalize environments that quietly drain everyone involved. I also share how I approach what I call “Grow or Go” conversations—honest, grounded leadership conversations that create clarity instead of shame. This episode is for leaders who feel stretched thin, emotionally heavy, or stuck carrying dynamics that no longer feel sustainable. Sometimes restoring oxygen starts with one difficult but necessary conversation. In this episode, you’ll discover: * How energy leaks quietly impact a business * Why leaders often avoid hard conversations * What happens when teams normalize dysfunction * A more grounded approach to accountability * Why clarity creates more oxygen than over-functioning Book a Consultation Call: https://www.dotrockconsulting.com/fire-with-grace Ready to Breathe Easier?

EP 113: Breathwork Changed the Way I Trusted Myself with Ashlee Livingstone

There are moments in life when you realize you can’t think your way forward anymore. You have to get quiet enough to finally hear yourself. In this episode, I’m sitting down with my breathwork coach and dear friend, Ashlee Livingstone, for a conversation that feels incredibly full circle for me. Ashlee has walked beside me through some of the hardest and most transformative seasons of my life, and this episode is a very real look at how breathwork, nervous system regulation, and self-trust helped me begin choosing myself in a completely different way. We talk about what breathwork actually feels like, why so many women struggle to trust themselves, and how getting out of our heads and into our bodies can create clarity we’ve been trying to force for years. We also dive into motherhood, raising teenage boys, manifestation, emotional regulation, and the power of having someone hold the vision for you when you can’t fully hold it yourself yet. This conversation is warm, honest, emotional, and deeply grounding. And if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or like there’s something inside you asking for more, I think this episode will really land. In this episode: * How breathwork helps quiet survival mode * Why self-trust is so hard for many women * The difference between reacting and responding * How nervous system regulation creates more capacity * Why healing often starts with slowing down Ashlee Livingstone is the founder of Ashlee Livingstone Coaching – a personal growth and breathwork coach supporting high performers who are reaching for their next level in life and business.

EP 112: Human Design for Business Owners: Stop Forcing, Start Flowing with Jackie Smythe

What if the reason your business feels heavy isn't because you're doing it wrong—but because you're doing it in a way that was never designed for you? I sit down with Human Design expert Jackie Smythe to explore how understanding your energetic blueprint can completely transform the way you work, lead, delegate, and show up in your business. We break down what Human Design actually is (hint: it's not just another personality test), explore the five energy types, and get real about what it means to build a business aligned with how you're naturally wired—not how hustle culture tells you to operate. Jackie does a live reading of my chart on the podcast, revealing why I've always felt "different," why I was told to be quiet my whole life as a Manifester, and how my psychic intuition and pattern-interrupting energy actually show up in my Human Design. We also talk about my son's Projector energy and how understanding his design has completely shifted how I parent.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: * What Human Design is and why it's the clearest picture of who you are at your core * The five energy types and how they operate * Why Manifesters like me are natural initiators and change-makers—but need rest and solitude to recharge * How to use your Human Design chart to refine your business messaging and offers * The "not-self theme" for each energy type and how to recognize when you're out of alignment * Why understanding your team's (and family's) Human Design can transform your relationships * How Jackie used Human Design to leave a toxic marriage and build a multi-six-figure business from authentic self-expression   Connect with Jackie:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjackiesmythe?igsh=MTVucDg1YWtraXllbw%3D%3D [https://www.instagram.com/iamjackiesmythe?igsh=MTVucDg1YWtraXllbw%3D%3D] Ready to Breathe Easier?

EP 111: When Your Body Keeps Score: Putting Your Oxygen Mask On First with Ruth Hirshberg

What happens when your body starts keeping score? When the life you've built, the career, the routines, the constant giving, suddenly doesn't fit anymore? It can happen to any of us. This week, I am sitting down with Ruth Hirshberg, MSW, RSW—registered social worker, certified meditation and breathwork teacher, and founder of Grounding with Ruth. Ruth shares her powerful journey from social work burnout and chronic illness to creating a life that actually feels like hers. This episode is a reminder that putting on your oxygen mask first isn't selfish. It's survival. And sometimes, it's the only way back to yourself.   In This Episode, You'll Hear: * How Ruth went from investigating child abuse as a social worker to walking dogs—and why that pivot saved her life * Why people-pleasing and overgiving often stem from childhood beliefs about not being enough * How meditation and breathwork became Ruth's pathway to healing and self-discovery * What it really means to give yourself compassion, empathy, and nurturing first—then show up for others * The Self-Worth Solution: Ruth's program helping women reconnect with their inherent worth * Why it's okay to change your mind, pivot a thousand times, and build a life that evolves with you * Ruth's daily oxygen-first practice (hint: it's not in the morning, and that's perfectly fine) * The power of community in healing and the gift of feeling less alone * Connect with Ruth:  Website: www.groundingwithruth.com [http://www.groundingwithruth.com/] Instagram: Instagraminstagram.com [https://www.instagram.com/] groundingwithruth/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ [https://www.facebook.com/]61579052467890/mentions/ [https://www.facebook.com/61579052467890/mentions/] Facebook group The Enough Project: www.facebook.com/groups/theenoughproject/ [http://www.facebook.com/groups/theenoughproject/] LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ruthhirshberg [http://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthhirshberg] Podcast Inspired Questions: https://www.groundingwithruth.com/podcast [https://www.groundingwithruth.com/podcast] Ready to Breathe Easier?
