Motherhood is Chaos: How to Find Calm | Grace Chinn

Motherhood is Chaos: How to Find Calm | Grace Chinn

What if the quickest way to feel calmer, steadier, and more present is something you already have with you all day?

Grace Chinn helps women, especially moms, use breathwork to regulate stress, reconnect with themselves, and move through motherhood with more resilience, and in this episode we talk about simple breathing tools, emotional regulation, and what it looks like to build a business in the messy reality of early motherhood.

What Grace shares:

  • How breathwork became a lifeline when motherhood, exhaustion, and zero village left her overstimulated and overwhelmed
  • The difference between simple everyday breathwork for stress relief and deeper breathwork that helps you process what is sitting underneath the stress
  • How she uses breathwork with her own daughter to support big emotions, regulation, and reconnection

This stuck with me:

When Grace says, “change how you breathe, change how you feel.” That is such a powerful reminder for mompreneurs because when everything feels intense, breathwork gives you a way to interrupt the stress response and come back to yourself before the day completely runs away with you.

👋 WHO AM I?

Hey, I'm Manouchka Elefant, a business coach for mompreneurs with 15+ years in marketing and a specialization in positive psychology. After becoming a mom, I quickly realized that building a business with kids in the mix takes more than ambition. It takes clear strategy, honest support, and the kind of accountability that helps you actually follow through.

That's what led me to create Hey Boss Mama, a space where we talk honestly about business, motherhood, mindset, and what it really takes to stop doubting and start executing. If you're into real talk, smarter marketing, and support that helps you keep moving forward, hit follow for the latest Hey Boss Mama episodes.

I'm based in Switzerland, coaching mompreneurs everywhere English is spoken.
