Breathe In, Breathe Out with Krystal Jakosky

Krystal Jakosky

Breathe In, Breathe Out is a weekly mindfulness and meditation podcast hosted by yours truly, Krystal Jakosky. Each week, we'll release a brand new lesson or meditation focused on helping you navigate your life by giving YOU the tools to become your own healer. Through the topics we cover and the meditations we experience, we'll journey towards self-acceptance and ownership. Our meditations will cover a range of topics - from building your self-esteem and owning who you are to uncovering some of those not-so-pretty parts within us that hold us back from being our truest selves.  Together we can change the world by embracing ourselves, past, future, and most importantly, the present. We can't promise it'll be easy, but we can promise it'll be worth it.  Welcome to Breathe In, Breathe Out. read less

130: Embracing Change: The Power of Foresight Thinking
Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out podcast hosted by yours truly, Krystal Jakosky. This episode, I share my insights on the often-avoided topic of life, death, and deep-seated regrets. Drawing from personal experiences, from navigating my mom's end of life journey to counseling my son through his divorce, I'll take you through the transformative power of foresight thinking. We'll discuss how a simple question, "How will I feel about this in five years?" can provide clarity and guide us towards making decisions we won't regret. I'll share my thoughts on facing adverse situations, maintaining relationships, coping with change, taking care of our health, and living life to its fullest without regrets. By the end of this episode, my hope is that you’ll be able to carry these powerful self-reflection tools into your own life. Let's dive into our journey of self-empowerment and change.

129: Breaking the Habit: The Essential Role of Change in Personal Growth
Hi there, it's Krystal Jakosky, and in this week's episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out, we dive into the essential role of change in personal growth. Ever feel like changing habits is a Herculean task? Want to break free from the patterns that are holding you back but fear how people around you would react? We'll be exploring how sometimes, shifting our behaviors, even in small ways, can be a catalyst for transformation far greater than we'd ever imagined. Whether it's quitting drinking, saying no more often, or simply practicing mindfulness and self-care, change can be scary but is essential for growth. I'll share my personal journey of deciding to stop drinking and how, through that decision, I not only improved my physical well-being, but also found a deeper sense of self-awareness and inner peace. But remember - no change comes without challenges. We'll navigate together how our transformative journey can often take a toll on our relationships and why it's crucial to surround ourselves with people who stimulate our growth, not hinder it. Join me in this soul-enriching conversation, where together we will learn the power of self-care, discover the courage to break old cycles, and become the best versions of ourselves. So remember to listen to your heart, embrace change, and as always, don’t forget to Breathe In, and Breathe Out. _______________________ FIRST TIME HERE? Hey, there!

121: The Power of Choice: Victim Mentality vs Active Participation in Life

121: The Power of Choice: Victim Mentality vs Active Participation in Life
Welcome to another episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out. In today's episode, we delve into the empowering concept of choice and how it plays a pivotal role in our lives, whether we acknowledge it or not. We dive deep into understanding the dynamics of choice and its implications in shaping our lives. We unravel the cloak of victim mentality and learn how we are indeed the masters of our lives, not mere puppets to circumstance. Life continues to throw choices our way, and how we react to those crossroads defines our very existence. Throughout today's podcast, we explore the concept of active participation in our lives through the consistent choices we make - small or big. We were brought up to believe that the world happens to us, but the truth is, it happens for us, it happens through us because of the choices we make every day. Incorporating the concepts of mindful caregiving, I reflect on my personal experiences and share insights on the empowering aspects of embracing caregiving roles. Caregiving, like any other aspect of life, also involves making mindful choices. We also deeply discuss the crucial aspect of self-care and the beneficial impacts of choosing ourselves over others when necessary because no one else knows our stories, our pasts, and our traumas. _______________________ FIRST TIME HERE?

120: [NEW PODCAST] Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving
Welcome once again to this episode of "Breathe and Breathe Out". Our host, Krystal Jakosky is on a caregiving journey for her mother diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia. In a heartfelt narrative, she walks us through the complications and unique challenges that come in the form of handling medications, analyzing their side effects, and managing the stomach discomfort they force upon a lactose intolerant person. Krystal tells us about an experience that shook her resolve as a caregiver and pushed her to reach out for support. This phone call revelation acted as a lightning moment for her, shifting her entire perspective on caregiving, giving her a chance to understand that it's alright to ask for help and reassurance. Furthermore, she talks about her decision to shift the caregiving episodes to a new podcast, "Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving." This podcast aims to provide a platform to share the rollercoaster ride of ups and downs that come with being a caregiver, while keeping "Breathe and Breathe Out," a platform for uplifting and inspiring thoughts. _______________________ FIRST TIME HERE?
