In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jamie Clements, founder of The Breath Space, to explore one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—tools we all have at our disposal: the breath.

In a world that moves at lightning speed, where burnout and chronic stress have become the norm, breathwork offers a much-needed anchor. Jamie shares how reconnecting with your breath can help regulate your nervous system, support emotional resilience, and bring you back into your body—out of autopilot and into the present.

We dive into the different forms breathwork can take—from dedicated breathwork sessions to simply taking a mindful breath while waiting for your morning coffee. This isn’t about adding another complicated wellness ritual to your life; it’s about remembering to breathe, with awareness and intention.
