It's Just Stress with Catie Perkins

15. GUEST EPISODE: Embodiment Through Breathwork with Emily Dewberry

What if the doorway back into your body was as simple (and profound) as your own breath? In this episode, our guest Emily Dewberry- founder of the Embody Edit and Breath Sessions podcast- explores how breathwork can gently pull us out of our ungrounded, anxious, overthinking state and guide us back into presence, safety, and embodied confidence. We dive into the physiological magic of breathwork- how it reshapes stress resilience, calms anxiety, nourishes hormone health, and improves sleep- while also exploring its deeper gifts: sovereignty, creativity, feminine intuition, and the feeling of coming home to yourself.

14. The Healing Power of Belonging: Why Community Is Medicine for Women

What if the community you crave isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” but a biological, spiritual, and emotional requirement for your healing? In this episode, we explore how intentional connection, co-regulation, and the sacred bond of belonging can transform women’s hormone, gut, and nervous system health. Community isn’t just people around you — it’s a feeling of being held, witnessed, and understood without having to perform. It’s the medicine our bodies evolved for and the safety our nervous systems are constantly seeking. When we stop isolating our healing and start rooting ourselves in meaningful, in-person connection, everything softens: stress lowers, digestion improves, cycles regulate, and we come home to ourselves.

13. The Medicine of Grief: Rituals for Remembering and Navigating Sorrow

What if we allowed grief to become a source of depth, creativity, and connection instead of pushing it away at all costs? In this episode, we'll explore how grief, remembrance, and ancestral wisdom can help us reconnect to what truly matters. Grief is more than just uncomfortable sadness- it’s a sacred bridge between loss and love. Connecting with all parts of ourselves invites others to do the same. It brings our body, mind, and spirit back to vibrant, full life. Integrating grief and gratitude cracks us open in unexpectedly beautiful ways and teaches us balance.
