As you head into the weekend, this is an invitation to let go, be in the moment and pause as you transition.
Jean Mitchells greets viewers, explains the idea of a Friday exhale as a way to transition into the weekend, and invites everyone to let go of prior moments and stay present.
The host leads a few counted inhales and exhales, inviting listeners to feel the airflow through their bodies and notice how they feel after the practice.
Jean describes her whole human coaching approach—seeing multiple parts of a person, highlighting strengths—and outlines that future Friday sessions will introduce breath tools and transition questions to support release.
Viewers are asked to post comments about what they're letting go of, what they're looking forward to or dreading, and reminded that the only controllable thing is the present moment.
Jean presents 'The Whisper'—the small inner voice that reminds you you're enough and helps ground you—and encourages listeners to read it and notice how that inner knowing shows up.
The host asks for feedback on the post, reiterates that breath is a simple reset we can control, and wishes listeners a lovely weekend with more moments of pause.
Hello Friday. My name is Jean Mitchells. I'm really excited to be here with all of you today. It's been a hot minute, literally and figuratively. Here in Minneapolis right now, it is hot. It is hot. But I also love hot, so it's good. I'm happy for that. So thank you for joining me. Whether you're listening on a repeat or you are here live, for Friday exhale. I wanted to come out here on Friday afternoons as a way to move into the weekend. Whether you're on the East Coast, West Coast, or some other time zone, Fridays seem to indicate a transition.
Now there are many people like myself that also have to work on the weekends. However, I find that even if I have to work on the weekend, there is something about the transition from Friday to the next two days that still feels special. So on Fridays, we're going to come in here and we're going to literally let go of every moment before this one and just stay in this space. My first invitation to you is to say welcome and to take a breath. So let's do that. Let's take a breath. Take a big inhale, slow, long.
Three second count in maybe, three, two, one. Exhale out, three seconds, three, two, one. All things come in threes, right? So let's do two more. Inhale. Exhale. And on the next one I invite you to feel that air flow through your body as it comes in and on the exhale. And then my invitation to you is just to see how you feel now compared to when you joined into our conversation. So if we haven't met before, I am a whole human coach. What does that mean? It means that we wear many hats, many many hats in our lives, in our days.
And when I work with individuals, it's about seeing all of you or as much of you as you're willing to share. And really working with whatever your strengths are, wherever they play in your day, in your life, and maximizing those. Illuminating, putting a highlighter on or a flashlight onto what is already within you that is ready to come out and shine. So as we take a few moments to have a Friday exhale, a simple breath, a transitionary moment, We will work together week by week on what that exhale can really look like, what that exhale can really release, bringing in breath work tools, questions for transition, and any other thing that you might need in this moment.
If you come in live, post your comments in here, your questions. Tell me how you're feeling as you let go of the week. What are you really letting go of? And what you're excited about, what you're looking forward to, or even what you dread. Sometimes we are so jam-packed with things to do on the weekends. But it's taking that check-in, that moment to reflect, to say I'm here, I am here now, The only thing I can control right now in this moment is literally this moment. Everything else is a thought, a prediction, a concept of what's coming.
Where a week has been, where we've traveled from to get to here right now, this moment right now, the journey is different every single week. So each week we're going to jump in here and explore something new, and I'm excited to do that with you. So today, on this Friday, I'm going to post in the comment boards something that I put up on Substack yesterday. And it's just titled The Whisper. On this Friday, my invitation to you is to listen to that whisper. That tiny little voice that's inside. The voice that reminds you that you're enough.
The voice that reminds you that in this moment you can breathe. Where maybe this week you didn't feel that was possible. The whisper is that knowing inside that now's the time. It's that knowing inside that maybe that time isn't right just yet. It's that little voice inside of each of us that is only for ourselves, that allows us to be grounded and present, that allows us to feel into what's aligned in our heart. So I invite you to pop out into the comments and check out the whisper and let me know what you think.
Post your comments below in the Cadre app or on the write up. But let me know what resonates with you. And until then, until next Friday, I invite you to just breathe. It is the one thing that we can control. It is the one thing that will allow us to reset and just check in this moment, the only one that matters in the now. I hope you have a lovely weekend, whatever it is that lies ahead of you, and that you give yourself more moments of pause.
