Episode 41: Breathe Like Your Life Depends On It (Because It Does) with Anthony Abbagnano

Jul 14

In this powerful episode, Dr. Katie sits down with Anthony Abbagnano, founder of Alchemy of Breath and author of Outer Chaos, Inner Calm, for a soul-shifting conversation about reclaiming peace, power, and presence in a world that often feels like it’s spinning out of control.

From navigating trauma to cultivating emotional resilience, Anthony shares how breathwork is not just a wellness trend—it’s a path back home to yourself. Together, they explore why so many of us unconsciously hold our breath in moments of stress, how Western culture teaches us to seek answers outside ourselves, and what it truly means to live authentically.

Whether you're in the middle of your own storm or simply craving more space, stillness, and clarity in your life, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
