Kandice Reconnects To Her Breath Through TaskHuman

Focusing on your breath is a powerful tool for grounding yourself. By leaning into your breath and taking big, cleansing breaths, you can slow your heart rate and increase the “feel-good” chemicals in your brain.
For TaskHuman user Kandice, an illness left her with long-term breathing difficulties. After years of medication and difficult breathing episodes, Kandice found relief by working with her TaskHuman coach Lila Bergroth on respiración. Here’s how 1:1 coaching helped Kandice reconnect with herself.
1. Instant Connection
When Kandice’s company added TaskHuman to their wellness offerings, Kandice immediately knew she wanted to work on her breathing challenges. And fortunately, she found her match right away.
“I happened to message one that I currently meet with every week,” Kandice says, “ she has been helping me immensely deal with my breathing issues.”
While some users know the exact coach they’re looking for, it’s also common to chat with a few before finding one who resonates with you. Reach out to any or all of the coaches who appeal to you! To break the ice, you can always send an in-app chat to any coach that catches your eye before making a call. In no time, you’ll find your match.
2. Wide Variety
Kandice’s company announced the new partnership with TaskHuman, and at the next meeting, Kandice’s team shared their unique coaching experiences. When that happened, it became clear that there are coaches for everyone’s goals and every area of self-care.
“It was also awesome to be able to share with my teammates,” Kandice says. “They had different experiences. They used different types of coaches, and it was cool to see the wide range of options you have.”
3. Individualized Coaching
Kandice credits TaskHuman’s personalized 1:1 live coaching for the progress she’s been able to make.
“1:1 video coaching has been awesome for me,” she says. “Each week is different, and she (the coach) is able to help me figure out ways to help myself specific to my needs that day or that week. It’s just been really the best experience that I’ve had with coaching because it meets a specific need in my life and the expertise of the coach is really awesome,” Kandice shares.
Consistent results and trust in your coach are major contributors to helping you meet your goals.
4. Quality Sessions
Having a private coaching session is only as good as the coach you work with. For Kandice, finding a breathing coach who is an expert and with whom she had a strong connection means the difference between making progress or not.
“I currently work exclusively with Lila Bergroth, and I love her,” Kandice says. “And she’s awesome. And she knows it. I tell her every week.”
Working with a coach regularly is important. It helps build on the foundation and allows you to make progress. For Kandice, that means using TaskHuman “at least once a week for a 60-minute session with my coach.”
5. Big Progress
Lila’s expertise and Kandice’s regular practice have paid off—Kandice is reaching her goals and breathing more easily. When Kandice first started using TaskHuman, she was suffering from the long-term effects of a bout of pneumonia. Her lungs were weakened, and she regularly needed her emergency inhalers.
“TaskHuman has really helped me come up with a plan for stress-related breathing issues and to help my body regulate the build-up of fluid in my lungs to make it so my day-to-day tasks are easier to accomplish,” Kandice says.
The strong trust that Kandice has in her coach allows her to do the hard work and follow through with their agreed-upon plan in order to make progress and hopefully find a solution.
“I really trust her to help me get to the next level,” she says. “My current goal is to not use my inhalers as much as I have in the past, and working with her, that has been accomplished. I have reduced the use of my inhalers significantly, and I have a plan of attack to naturally breathe through future stress experiences.”
6. Worth the Call
For some people, the idea of hopping on a video call with a stranger may feel scary or uncomfortable. But the discomfort is worth it, Kandice says.
“In my experience, the TaskHuman coaches are awesome and down-to-earth and able to work through that initial awkwardness and help fulfill a need that you have in your life. I feel like my life is definitely better because of my coaching experience on TaskHuman, and so for that reason, I would highly recommend getting yourself a coach to help you” she encourages.
7. Go For It
Trying new things takes a certain level of bravery. You can increase your likelihood of taking the chance if you think through what you have to gain. When you use TaskHuman to connect with an expert coach who is dedicated to helping you reach your goals, there is little risk in the investment.
“In this situation, it’s easy to chat with a coach before you set up your initial meeting or just get some background information on their coaching style before you set up a face-to-face,” Kandice says. “I would highly recommend giving it a shot- what is there to lose?”
