Don’t Forget to Breathe, Zara: When Calm Meets Chaos
Zara started her morning so peacefully — learning a new breathing technique with Papa to keep her calm.
But just minutes later?
She realizes she forgot her science project… and a wave of dread hits her belly.
In this same-morning sequel to our last Zara + Omie comic, we see what real life looks like: even the calmest moment can be followed by a mini-meltdown. And that’s okay.
As Zara panics, Omie gently reminds her what she already knows:

When the day shifts suddenly — from quiet to chaos — your gut feels it first. A racing mind often means a rumbling stomach.
This is where breath becomes powerful. Just a few slow breaths can help regulate the nervous system, which in turn creates more calm in your belly and clarity in your mind.
Zara didn’t stay calm all morning.
But she remembered her breath — and that changed everything.
From breath to bacteria — it’s all connected. Read the full comic below 👇
