What if the path to healing meant letting go of who you’ve always been—and learning to breathe your way back to who you really are?

In this episode of Reignite with Reet, Reet welcomes Andrea Migliore, a retired military officer, mother, coach, and breathwork facilitator whose journey has spanned war zones, divorce, motherhood through IVF, and a powerful return to self.

Together, they explore the unraveling that happens when we shed roles we’ve long held—soldier, wife, perfectionist—and reflect on profound questions about who we truly are. Andrea shares how the military saved her life, how motherhood reshaped her values, and how breathwork became the tool that cracked her open.

They dive into parenting with presence, navigating pressure and people-pleasing, and learning to trust their inner knowing instead of chasing approval. From sending shoes to children in Iraq to quiet, intuitive moments with her son, Andrea’s story is a testament to resilience and personal development.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to “hold it all together” or wondered what’s left when old identities fall away, this episode is an invitation to breathe deeper, soften the grip, and reconnect to your inner badass (we know she’s in there). Let’s reignite!
