Unleashing Vitality: My Conversation with Aundrea Sides on Breath Work, Creativity, and Self-Discovery
On this episode of The Prestigious Initiative, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Aundrea Sides, a coach and founder of Vitality Unleashed. Aundrea’s approach to self-discovery and personal growth is rooted in one powerful tool we all have access to: the breath.
Our conversation explored how reconnecting with our breath can lead to clarity, creativity, and a deeper understanding of ourselves. Aundrea’s passion for helping others unleash their vitality and live authentically left me inspired, and I’m excited to share some of the key takeaways from this transformative discussion.
Returning to Basics: The Power of Breath
Aundrea opened our conversation with a simple yet profound truth: everything starts with the breath. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us have forgotten how to connect with ourselves through something as basic as breathing.
“Breath is the foundation of everything,” Aundrea said. “When we master our breath, we start to master ourselves.” She guided us through a powerful visualization exercise, demonstrating how intentional breathing can energize the body, calm the mind, and bring clarity to even the most chaotic moments.
Host Insight: I’ve often overlooked how something as simple as deep breathing can have such a profound impact. Aundrea’s perspective reminded me that the tools we need for self-discovery are often right in front of us.
Creativity and Imagination: Keys to Unlocking Potential
For Aundrea, creativity and imagination are not just traits—they’re essential tools for growth. She explained how embracing our intuition and imagination allows us to access a deeper part of ourselves, where authentic ideas and solutions reside.
“Intuition brings you back home to creativity and imagination,” she said. “That’s where everything starts and is created.” Aundrea challenged the notion that imagination is childish or impractical, encouraging us to embrace it as a source of limitless potential.
My Takeaway: This struck a chord with me. As a coach and creator, I’ve seen how tapping into creativity can unlock new ways of thinking and being. Aundrea’s approach offers a fresh lens on how to integrate this into our daily lives.
Authenticity: The Gateway to True Power
One of the most compelling parts of our conversation was Aundrea’s perspective on authenticity. She believes that stepping into our true selves is not only empowering but also transformative.
“When you are in your authenticity, you access your superpowers,” she shared. Aundrea emphasized that the more we connect with who we truly are, the more we can impact the world around us. But this process begins with asking honest questions about our beliefs, behaviors, and desires.
Host Insight: Authenticity has always been a cornerstone of my own journey. Aundrea’s words reinforced the idea that embracing our true selves isn’t just beneficial for us—it’s a gift to everyone around us.
Healing Through Awareness and Self-Inquiry
Aundrea shared how self-awareness and intentional breathwork can help us address emotional and physical blocks. She described how tuning into sensations in the body can reveal deeper truths about what we’re holding onto and what needs to be released.
“It’s about asking yourself questions with curiosity,” Aundrea explained. “When you feel something in your body, get curious. What is this? What does it mean? How can I release it?”
Her program, Vitality Unleashed, provides tools and techniques to help individuals navigate these feelings and uncover the root causes of their blocks. By addressing these issues at their core, Aundrea helps her clients achieve lasting transformation.
Takeaway: Healing isn’t about avoiding discomfort—it’s about leaning into it with curiosity and compassion. This perspective can help us move through challenges with grace and purpose.
Breathwork in Action: A Guided Exercise
Aundrea didn’t just talk about breathwork—she demonstrated it. During our conversation, she led us through a quick yet powerful exercise designed to bring clarity and energy to the body.
Here’s a simplified version of the exercise:
1. Breathe In Deeply: Inhale through your nose, filling your lungs completely. Visualize light entering your body.
2. Focus on the Sensation: Notice how the breath feels as it moves through your body, and imagine it illuminating any areas of tension or heaviness.
3. Exhale Fully: Release the breath through your mouth, imagining the light expanding around you.
This exercise is just one of many tools Aundrea uses to help her clients reconnect with themselves and their power.
Host Insight: Experiencing this exercise firsthand was a reminder of how small, intentional actions can create profound shifts in how we feel and think.

1. Trust in Your Own Beauty: Embrace the unique qualities that make you who you are.
2. Stay Curious: Approach life with a sense of wonder and a willingness to explore your inner world.
3. Return to the Breath: Use intentional breathing as a tool for clarity, creativity, and healing.
These simple yet powerful principles are at the heart of Aundrea’s work and offer a roadmap for anyone looking to live a more vibrant, authentic life.
