1-Minute Breathwork That Transforms Stress Into Calm for Women 40+

One-Minute Breathwork That Transforms Stress Into Calm for Women 40+

Hello sunshine, 

If you're over 40 and feeling like stress, exhaustion, or overwhelm are the new norm—welcome to  the club!

Maybe your brain feels foggy. Your sleep's gone out the window. Or your emotions are unpredictable and intense (hello rage tears on a Tuesday). This isn’t just “life”—this is perimenopause. And it's a wild ride for your nervous system.

But here's what I want you to know:
You don’t have to wait it out or push through.
You can reset your body and mind  just one minute at a time—starting today.

Why Breathwork Works for Perimenopausal Women

During perimenopause, your hormones (especially estrogen and progesterone) are all over the place. That affects everything from your nervous system to your emotional regulation.

What does that mean?

🧠 More stress
💤 Less sleep
😤 More irritability
💓 Faster heart rate
😩 And a whole lot of “why am I crying again?”

Breathwork helps reverse all of that.
Not through wishful thinking—but by sending signals to your brain that it’s safe to slow down, rest, and reset.

These 3 Breaths Changed My Clients’ Lives (And Can Do the Same for You)

Each one of these takes  60 seconds and speaks directly to your symptoms:

1️⃣ The “I Need to Let Go” Breath (for Stress & Overwhelm)

Ever feel like everything is too much? Like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? That’s a sign you need a release breath.

✨ How to do it:

• Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your belly.
• Exhale with a long “Ssssss” sound, like a hissing snake
• Pro-tip: breathe out the "Sssssss" sound, till there's no more air in your lungs, then, inhale and repeat. 
• Repeat 3-6 times
• 🔹 Result: Instantly feel like a heavy weight lifted!

🔥 Best time to use it:

• When your to-do list feels impossible.
• When you’re feeling tight in your chest or shoulders.
• Before bed, to clear out the mental clutter from the day.

“Thank GOD for your breathwork! I went from ‘about to have a meltdown’ to ‘pshh, I got this.’” — Meg

2️⃣ The “Instant Calm” Breath (for Anxiety & Overthinking)

If your brain is racing a mile a minute and you can’t seem to slow it down, this is for you. This breath helps tell your nervous system: “It’s safe to relax.”

✨ How to do it:

• Inhale through your nose filling your belly.
• As you exhale, whisper  " Choooooo” like you’re gently blowing out a candle.
• Pro tip: make sure your lungs are completely empty of air, before you breathe in again.
• Feel your heart rate slow, your thoughts soften, and your body relax.

       🔹 Result: Your mind stops racing, your heart stops pounding

🔥 Best time to use it:

• When anxiety starts creeping in.
• When you’re feeling overstimulated and need a moment of quiet.
• Before a big meeting, conversation, or event where you need to stay cool, calm & collected.
• Before bed to unload the negative and have a deep restful sleep.

“I did the breathwork evening routine and I felt mellow like a marshmallow… First time in weeks I slept like a baby.” — Celine

3️⃣ The “Goodbye, Frustration” Breath (for Anger & Irritation)

Sometimes, things get under your skin—and pretending you’re fine, doesn’t help. This breath is like a pressure release valve, helping you let go of that heat without snapping at anyone.

✨ How to do it:

• Take a deep inhale through your nose.
• Exhale with a forceful “SHHHHHH” sound, like you’re shushing someone who's annoying you.
• Pro tip: ensure you've completely let out the air in your lungs on the exhale before taking another breath in.
• Repeat 6 times until you feel the fire inside start to cool down, but always in 3s. So 3-6-9-12 times.

        🔹Result: Stops you losing from losing it!

🔥 Best time to use it:

• After a frustrating conversation.
• When your patience is running on empty.
• When you feel snappy, irritable, or on edge. Hello pms!
• Before bed, to release your anger & frustration and have a truly restful sleep.
