The Deliberate Exchange - Navigating Stress, Sobriety & Self-Trust — One Deliberate Step at a Time

I Lost My Sh*t While Building Our House—and I Teach Breathwork... EP33

Chelsea Powell Season 1 Episode 33

You can meditate, journal, breathe, and still break down.

I open up about the behind-the-scenes of building our dream home—what it cost me emotionally, physically, and mentally. From screaming matches and bleeding knuckles to nervous system shutdown and shame spirals, I share how even with years of healing work under my belt, stress still pushed me to the edge.

This isn’t a story about burnout—it’s about survival. It’s about what happens when your practices aren’t enough, and why that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

We talk stress responses, somatic discharge, trauma patterns, and the real path to regulation—not perfection. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re “still losing it” even when you “do the work”—this one’s for you.

Plus, I share how this experience became the foundation for my Rooted & Rising breathwork series, where we don’t bypass pain—we hold it, breathe through it, and rise.

Feeling stuck—even though you’ve made big changes?
The Personal Power Map gives you a custom breakdown of your stress response, your hidden strengths, and your next aligned move. It’s clarity, direction, and validation in one potent package.

One client shared:

“It felt like someone finally handed me the roadmap I didn’t even realize I was searching for.”
