Depth & Dignity
Depth & Dignity is about learning, unlearning, and becoming. It’s for curious people who want to understand themselves, improve their relationships, and live more fully.
Hosted by Jen Wilking—a pelvic health physical therapist and deep-feeling human—this podcast explores the things school skipped and life keeps asking us to figure out: bodies, relationships, emotions, values, rest, resilience, and new chapters.
Jen brings honest insights, practical tools, and a sense of humor to a wide range of topics with a direct connection to everyday life.
Learn something. Feel something. Do something.

How You Breathe Matters
You can influence your heart rate, respiratory rate, muscle tension, pain level, mood, digestion, brain function, and sleep quality with better breathing.
With an average breathing rate of 14 times per minute, 840 times per hour, and over 20,000 times per day, how you breathe matters.
Three tips for breathing well.
- Breathe through your nose whenever possible.
- Guide your inhalation to the bottom of your rib cage.
- Slow your breathing down.
Try it along with the cues, and find what works for you.
