What does the phrase Waiting to Exhale mean?

We’re waiting to exhale rather than giving ourselves permission to breathe and (at the risk of getting a little hippy-dippy) – permission to be. Life and certainly the way we breathe our way through it, should not be about waiting for ideal combinations but simply navigating it, as is, in all its ups and downs.

What is the movie Waiting to Exhale about?
