Lauren Stewart, Darlin’ Breathe
Tell us about your businesses, the inspiration behind it and when you launched it?
I decided to become a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator in 2021, after finding somatic therapy and experiencing the life changing effects in my own life. I spent 25 years of my life believing I wasn’t good enough, after getting sick when I was a young kid. I’m such a big feeler/ highly sensitive/empath and my wee brain absorbed the ‘not so nice’ side of the societal narrative around health conditions and/or disabilities, formed my core beliefs and kept my self-esteem level with the floor. After doing a LOT of psychological therapies, conscious unlearning, the books, the courses..my life completely flipped upside down (in the best possible way) when I found the world of Breathwork and now I get to guide others through their own journey!
Best piece of advice you were given at the start of your business journey?
There are people waiting for your voice!
What has been your biggest lesson/ challenge faced so far and how did you overcome it?
Admitting when things are hard or not going well – at first I was super embarrassed and would always say everything is great when anyone asked how business was going. When I allowed myself to be real and honest it took so much weight off my shoulders that I was able to join/reach out to communities like GGC 🙂
What is your number 1 business tip for success?
Believe in YOU – not what anyone else thinks 😉
What are the big business goals for the year?
Building 1:1 client base, regular group workshops, brand awareness, educating about breathwork, networking and collaboration
How can the GGC Business membership help?
I really liked the a&g Q2 event, i’ve never had realtime feedback from other business owners before! I don’t really have anything new to suggest yet but i’m just looking forward to having a space to work with others around who are doing a similar thing, gets me out my bedroom! I really hope to make some good friends here 🙂
What’s the dream?
Fully booked calendar and wait list with dream clients ready to reclaim their power
High profile/celebrity clients working on subconscious blocks/healing their past
Collaborative space offering breathwork, alt therapies, art, dance, co-working, trinket shop, all things fabulous
Financial freedom, abundantly paid for my skills

Fave mantra to get you buzzed up for business!
