"Breathe, Babe": The Breath Behind My Blogging Journey
Hi friends! Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I'm taking a deep breath and diving into the world of blogging with all the enthusiasm of a 2000s teen making cringy music videos. Yep, you read that right – from viral challenges to conquering cancer, life's journey has led me here, and I'm ready to share it all through the lens of "Breathe, Babe."
Let's rewind a bit. For years, starting a blog has been a shimmering dream on my bucket list. This year, I decided to throw caution to the wind and just fully send it. Because why not, right? It feels like coming full circle from those carefree days of making silly videos, like the infamous baby food challenge with my cousin and friends. We never actually posted them, but the laughter and joy we shared were priceless. Life happened, responsibilities grew, but the spirit of those carefree moments lingered.
Now, let's talk about the title – "Breathe, Babe." It's not just a catchy phrase; it's a mantra, a reminder, and the heartbeat of this blog. I've been on a journey of self-discovery and healing, dealing with anxiety that's been a constant companion since forever. And then, the big C word entered my life, bringing with it a whirlwind of emotions and challenges.
Cancer heightened my anxiety, and panic attacks became a part of my adolescent years. Seeking support, I started therapy, delving into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and stumbled upon the magic of mindfulness. The simple act of focusing on my breath became a game-changer. It's been almost a decade since, and I've realized how profound the impact of mindful breathing can be – a biohack for the soul.
Fast forward through a tapestry of challenges, lessons, growth, and healing – Instagram gave me a glimpse into the world of sharing, but I craved a space where I could document more, create more, share more, and connect more deeply. That's when "Breathe, Babe" was born. The name itself went through countless iterations between me, my best friend, and my boyfriend.
Finally, the lightbulb moment happened when my boyfriend proposed "Breathe, Babe." Instantly, it felt like a warm embrace, a reminder to take a moment, inhale deeply, and exhale with intention. It encapsulates the essence of my journey – from the playful carefree days to the transformative power of mindfulness.
So, here we are, embarking on this adventure together. "Breathe, Babe" is more than a blog title; it's an invitation to join me in the dance of life, to inhale the joy and exhale the challenges. It's a space where we can share, learn, and grow together. So, take a deep breath, babe, and let's dive into the magic that unfolds when we embrace every moment.
Cheers to new beginnings, mindful breaths, and the vibrant journey ahead!
With love and gratitude always,
Britt
