357 - Doing the Hard Thing First: How Breathwork Makes Life Easier

Today on Can’t Be Contained, Samantha Skelly is flying solo in a raw, unfiltered episode that goes wherever her intuition leads! Tune in as Samantha shares what it truly means to live a life that “can’t be contained”—one that’s ruthlessly soul-led, even when it’s messy, uncertain, and downright uncomfortable.

From her sunlit LA studio, Samantha opens up about breaking free from routine, stepping out of comfort zones, and her passion for all things breathwork. She dives deep into the magic of conscious breath, revealing how even just three minutes can shift you from brain fog and anxiety to clarity and connection with your soul. If you’ve ever wondered why following your truth feels so hard—and so essential—this episode is for you.

Samantha explores the power of putting yourself in rooms full of heart-centered, mission-driven people, and the transformational energy found in events like Women & Wealth. She shares how facing your “pain teachers”—those tough emotions and doubts—can actually amplify your influence, purpose, and happiness. And she’s dropping major wisdom on the difference between choosing the “hard” now for an easier, more joyful life later.

Within this episode’s juicy stream-of-consciousness, we’ll dive into:

➤ How intentional breathwork creates spiritual awakenings (without waiting for the hard stuff)

➤ The necessity of feeling your feelings to truly heal

➤ Why leaders and high achievers choose their “hard” up-front

➤ Embracing pain, doubt, and discomfort as allies on the path of self-growth
