🎙️The History of A former British Royal Marine Commando turned Founder of The Breath Connection, Stress Reset & Nervous System Mastery with Sam Murray | Real English Conversations for Global Professionals

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, host Curtis Davies speaks with Sam Murray, founder of The Breath Connection, a former British Royal Marine Commando, and an expert in breath retraining, nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and stress resilience.

After years of struggling with alcohol & drug addiction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, panic symptoms, poor sleep, and energy crashes, Sam discovered that dysfunctional breathing was at the core of his entire health cycle. By retraining his breath, he transformed his body, his mind, and his life — and now he teaches others to do the same.

Sam has worked with law enforcement teams, firefighters, military personnel, NHS staff, high-performance athletes, and people in high-pressure roles who need to stay calm, focused, and emotionally steady under stress. His program, Back to Balance, helps people reset their breathing, quiet their mind, and regain control over their nervous system.

This conversation will fundamentally change how you think about stress, confidence, and your breathing.

✨ In this episode, you'll learn:
🫁 The hidden signs of dysfunctional breathing
🔥 Why anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout often start with the breath
🧠 How to reset your nervous system through breath retraining
🎤 How breathing impacts confidence, communication, and speaking under pressure
🌙 The link between breath and sleep, focus, performance, and emotional control
🌬️ Techniques you can use instantly before meetings, presentations, and interviews
💪 How breathwork supports trauma recovery and long-term resilience

This episode is ideal for international professionals, leaders, speakers, or anyone seeking to manage stress, enhance communication, or boost confidence in high-pressure situations.
