How yoga can help you stay calm during divorce

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally reactive or simply worn out during divorce, this episode offers gentle, practical ways to feel calmer and more in control.

Kate is joined by certified yoga teacher Cathy Eads to explore how supportive practices like yoga, breathwork and mindfulness can help you navigate the emotional ups and downs of separation.

In this episode, we cover:

• Cathy’s separation story and how it led her to yoga
• How yoga and Ayurveda support emotional regulation
• Why learning to respond instead of react changes everything
• Simple self-care tools you can use anywhere - walking, breathwork and more
• How mindfulness helps you stay calm and present
• A short grounding breathwork practice you can try yourself

This episode is for anyone going through separation and looking for simple, expert-backed tools to feel steadier and calmer.
