Release the Stories We Outgrew with this somatic breathwork journey

Overview Of Event:

We outgrow identities long before we outgrow the behaviors that kept them alive.

At some point, the coping mechanisms you built were brilliant.

They kept you safe.
They kept you small enough to not be rejected.
They kept you strong enough to survive things you shouldn’t have had to survive.

But survival behaviors aren’t meant to lead your life forever.

And every so often, the body presents an invitation:
to soften, to update, to release, to come back into alignment with who you’re becoming.

This breathwork journey is that invitation.

Why This Journey

This session is designed to gently unravel the old emotional stories that are no longer true, such as:

“I have to handle everything alone.”
“My needs don’t matter.”
“I can’t upset anyone.”
“If I fail, I lose love.”
“It’s safer to stay small.”

These stories live in more than the mind, they live in the nervous system, in the breath, in the body’s protective programming.

Breathwork creates the space to update the story.

Why Breathwork?

Because talking about it doesn’t always change it.

Breathwork works at the level where these patterns were formed:

✓ the nervous system
✓ the subconscious
✓ the emotional body
✓ the stress response
✓ the identity layer

Through the breath, the body learns:

✓ it’s safe to soften
✓ it’s safe to feel
✓ it’s safe to let go
✓ it’s safe to expand
✓ it’s safe to receive
✓ it’s safe to become

This is where change becomes felt, not forced.

What To Expect

Your evening will include:

• Opening grounding + intention setting
• Education on the nervous system + breath pattern
• Guided somatic breathwork journey (silent disco headphones)
• Emotional + energetic release
• Deep rest & integration
• Optional reflection + closing circle

No previous breathwork experience required.

Who This Is For

This journey is for anyone who is:

✓ in a season of transition
✓ letting go of outdated conditioning
✓ unlearning self-abandonment
✓ rebuilding self-worth
✓ feeling stuck or stagnant
✓ craving clarity or direction
✓ learning how to trust themselves again

And for those who simply feel like they are “between versions” of themselves — not who they were, not yet who they’re becoming.

About Me

Hi, I’m Shannon Rollins-Rodriguez, a Trauma-Certified Pause Breathwork Facilitator, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and founder of A Way Forward: Mind-Body Healing & Hypnosis.

My work blends subconscious transformation, breathwork, and somatic healing to create safe and powerful spaces for deep inner shifts. With years of experience guiding individuals and groups through transformational practices, I’ve seen firsthand how breathwork can break through barriers, release old stories, and reconnect people to their power.

I believe healing is not about “fixing” yourself, it’s about remembering who you already are: whole, worthy, and powerful. It’s my honor to guide you back to that truth.
