Have you ever noticed how your breath changes when you’re stressed, anxious, or triggered?
In this episode, I guide you through a powerful yet simple breathing technique to help you shift from protection mode to safety mode—right here, right now.

Take this as your reminder: You don’t need to fight your way to peace. You can breathe your way there.
