As space-holders, we’re often taught to care—but never taught how to protect our own energy. In this episode, Lisa McNett explores the roots of empathic over-responsibility and how to set clear, grounded, trauma-informed boundaries.

You’ll learn:

• Why many empaths are made, not born

• How to regulate your nervous system while supporting others

• How to stay neutral, embodied, and present in any interaction

• What it means to lead from vertical alignment

This is your reminder: you don’t have to carry it all to care deeply. You can serve from presence—not depletion.

Take a breath. Reclaim your energy. Let’s begin.

Welcome to One Breath Wisdom—a podcast for therapists, healers, and soul-led space-holders ready to lead from wholeness, not burnout.

In this opening episode, Lisa McNett shares the personal story behind the breath that changed everything—and how it led to the creation of the One Breath Method™, a trauma-informed, client-led, somatic approach to healing.

You’ll explore:

• The hidden cost of over-responsibility and burnout

• Why so many empaths and practitioners feel depleted

• What makes the One Breath Method™ different

• What to expect from future episodes

Whether you're a licensed therapist or an intuitive healer, this is a space to reconnect with yourself while supporting others. Because real care doesn’t require self-sacrifice—it starts with presence.

Take a breath. Trust your path. Let’s begin—together.

Are you a helper or healer who feels physically or emotionally overwhelmed? Do you wish others would take care of you the way you take care of them?

If so, this message is for you.

Episode 15: Learn about the work Dr. Steve Pratscher is doing to help people heal low back pain with Breathwork. Dr. Pratscher is a postdoctoral fellow in an NIH-funded Integrative and Multidisciplinary Pain and Aging Research Training program at the University of Florida. Steve received a B.S./degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois in 2015 and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Missouri in 2020 with emphases in social-personality and positive psychology. His research there focused on the interpersonal and relational aspects of mindfulness and meditation.

The three primary areas of interest that he is actively working on are breathing self-management practices, multicomponent breathwork interventions, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
