There’s something wild that happens when you hit rock bottom and don’t quit.
Tim Thomas has been there—Australian Special Forces veteran, pro fighter, shark attack survivor, divorced, broke, and nearly suicidal at 3 a.m. on a couch in his parents’ house. That’s when he realized something had to change, and it wasn’t going to come from the outside.
It started with a breath.
That breath turned into a practice, a path, and a life-saving reset button that would not only change his sleep, his stress, and his health but help thousands of veterans and civilians do the same. Today, Tim is the founder of Breathwork in Bed, a program built to help people reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and restore what modern life takes away: peace, clarity, and rest.
In this episode, Tim walks us through near-death moments, years of trauma and pressure, and how learning to breathe intentionally, if only for a few minutes, can radically change your sleep, your power, and your future.
"Everything we really want, everything we really need, is right here underneath our own skin. Accessed through our delightful breath." ~ Tim Thomas
