Catching Your Breath

“Midlife has a way of dismantling the stories we once lived by. In Catching Your Breath, Lynne Goldberg blends mindfulness, humor, and hard-earned wisdom into a compassionate guide for anyone facing divorce, loss, illness, uncertainty, or reinvention. This book feels like a wise and reassuring companion for life’s most difficult passages.”
—Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of the Omega Institute and New York Times bestselling author of Broken Open

“Lynne Goldberg’s book illustrates the power of love to heal. She shows us how we can consciously move into wholeness by embracing all of who we have been and who we are now becoming. Using sexual energy with awareness, sensitivity, and humor, she helps us throw off the shackles of our limiting beliefs and habits so we can experience bliss. As she says, ‘Just because your body gets old, doesn’t mean your sex has to, too!’”
—Barbara Carrellas, author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century

With unflinching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Goldberg lays it all bare—no sugarcoating, no shortcuts … If you’re ready to make meaning of midlife—and maybe even measure it in moments of peace and pleasure—Catching Your Breath is the guide you’ll be grateful to have by your side.”
—Terri Cole, psychotherapist, author of Boundary Boss, and podcast host

“In Catching Your Breath, Lynne Goldberg offers a lifeline to anyone who has had the wind knocked out of them. Whether it’s heartbreak, illness, or unexpected life changes, this book provides you with the tools you need to calm the chaos, heal from within, and move into the life you truly desire.”

Lynne Goldberg is a meditation teacher, author, speaker and cofounder of the Breethe meditation app. Breethe is one of the most widely-used mindfulness platforms in the world, supporting more than 20 million people across 90 countries. Named one of the top meditation teachers in North America by Forbes, her work has been featured by TIME, the Associated Press, NPR, People, Cosmopolitan, The Cut, ABC, NBC, and more. InStyle magazine described Breethe as “so simple even my ten-year-old can do it,” reflecting Lynne’s warm, relatable style—the kind of teaching that feels less like instruction and more like getting a hug when you need it most.

Lynne’s approach is shaped by both spiritual practice and real life. She has experienced the death of her two-day-old twin daughters, the loss of her 54-year-old mother to cancer, divorce after decades, her own cancer diagnosis, empty nesting, and financial upheaval. These pivotal turning points brought her to meditation when the identity she held onto so tightly dissolved. With humor, honesty, and a grounded, wry voice, Lynne helps others learn to practice choicefulness, cultivate compassion, and make soul-aligned decisions in the face of change.
