Let’s get real: Stress isn’t going anywhere. Life is full of deadlines, difficult conversations, and moments that make our hearts race.

That’s normal.

But chronic stress—the kind that never quite shuts off—can slowly chip away at your physical health, your mental clarity, and your relationships.

In this episode, I'll share with you a powerful 60-second breathing technique that can be used in the middle of a stressful situation to calm your nervous system—without having to step away from life.

Because you can’t escape stress—but you can stop it from running your life.

 In this short and practical episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why stress isn't the enemy (but chronic stress is)
  • The science behind your body’s incomplete stress response
  • What wild animals can teach us about emotional recovery
  • A quick, research-backed breathing technique called the physiological sigh that helps release trapped tension—instantly

Whether you're in a meeting, stuck in traffic, or having a hard conversation—you can do this technique right then and there. It’s simple, science-backed, and surprisingly effective.

 Ready to feel more calm and in control—without needing to meditate for 20 minutes?
