Midlife Burnout Nearly Broke Her—How Transformative Breathwork Set Her Free

She was a nurse, a stepmom, a caregiver, and an overachiever—until midlife burnout brought her to her knees.

In this transformative episode, Angela Slade talks with D’Layne Benson, a holistic coach and breathwork facilitator, who shares her powerful story of unraveling during a perfect storm of caregiving, career pressure, perimenopause, and people-pleasing.

What saved her? A single, radical act: asking for help—followed by setting fierce boundaries, regulating her nervous system, and discovering breathwork as a spiritual gateway to healing.

D’Layne reveals how breathwork took her into altered states of consciousness, connected her to higher guidance, and helped her release years of stored trauma and control.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from your joy and purpose—this episode will meet you where you are and show you a new path forward.

✨ Ready to reclaim your power and rise? This one’s for you.
