Presence Begins With Self-Care | One Breath Wisdom with Lisa McNett
In this episode of One Breath Wisdom, Lisa McNett explores the powerful connection between self-care and presence, especially for therapists, coaches, healers, and anyone who holds space for others.
Presence isn’t something we can force. It arises naturally when the nervous system is regulated and the body feels supported.
Lisa shares insights from nearly two decades in the healing field and discusses how simple daily practices like movement, nourishment, and breath support clarity, energy, and our ability to truly meet others.
If you support others professionally — or simply want to feel more grounded and present in your life — this episode offers practical wisdom you can begin applying immediately.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why self-care is essential for those who hold space for others
• What true presence actually means
• How the nervous system influences presence
• Why movement is critical for mental and emotional clarity
• How breath directly impacts energy and focus
• Small habits that can dramatically improve presence
Key Takeaway
Self-care is not a luxury — it is a responsibility for anyone supporting others. When we care for our bodies and nervous systems, presence becomes natural.
And presence is one of the most powerful forms of support we can offer another human being.
