This Week on the Live Your Light Show:
Today on the Live Your Light Show we have Samantha Skelly who is a 7-figure entrepreneur, international speaker, best-selling author, wellness coaching expert, and breathwork facilitator. For years she struggled with disordered eating and body image issues. She was completely disconnected from her body and tried every method imaginable to "fix" herself. It wasn't until she discovered breathwork that I truly began to experience real growth, transformation, and recovery.
Since undergoing her own healing journey, she founded two companies: Pause Breathwork and Hungry for Happiness to help others overcome their own pain and struggles. It's her mission to unite humanity by teaching people to breathe, feel, and thrive.
