Hello, friends! And welcome to Breathe Darling, the podcast. I am your host, Emily Riggs and I am so excited to share this space with you.

Breathe, darling is about learning to live with the uncomfortable, the difficult, and the unimaginable— and what it takes to show up wholeheartedly along the way. It’s about crafting a meaningful life, one where we laugh, cry, process, mourn, hope, and heal. It’s about knowing that no matter what we face, there is room to inhale a little deeper, exhale a little longer, and honor what we were designed to feel in the midst of it all.

As a psychotherapist specializing in care for women, specifically in the areas of grief, loss, and trauma, I spend my days holding space for stories of pain, and have the honor of a front row seat to the healing that can come. As someone intimately acquainted with hardship, I know firsthand the journey of grief and growth after life-altering loss. It’s been the hardest, and most worthwhile, work of my life. And I know I’m not alone. Years of collective suffering have reiterated the truth that “everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle”.

In these conversations, we’ll explore what it looks like to hold space for that suffering, and cultivate more compassion, care, and understanding, for one another and ourselves. Because whether we like it or not, we’re in this thing, called life, together. I cannot wait to share these conversations and stories with you, starting on Wednesday, September 28th. So take a deep breath, pull up a seat, and let’s begin.
