339: The 30-Second Reset: How to Calm Your Mind and Body Anytime, Anywhere

I’m here with a solo episode that honestly feels long overdue. I know we’ve done solo episodes before, but this time I’m diving into something I use every single day—a powerful tool that I’ve never actually dedicated a whole episode to until now: The 30 Second Reset.

Inspired by a heartfelt email from one of our listeners, Emily (thank you, love!), I’m sharing what to do when life feels overwhelming and emotions start to take over. Whether you find yourself losing your cool with your kids, getting caught in frustration, or just need a quick energetic reboot, this episode will walk you through how to shift your state quickly, reset your nervous system, and come back home to yourself in the span of just 30 seconds.

Inside, I cover:

➤ Why unfelt emotions don’t just disappear (and how they can snowball if we’re not mindful)

➤ How to check in with your energy before things spin out of control

➤ A step-by-step breakdown of my go-to 30 Second Reset breathwork practice—super simple, super effective

➤ How to use this practice anytime, anywhere (even if you’re handling a million things)

➤ Real-life examples from parenting, relationships, and everyday triggers, and how this tool helps me show up with more presence and power

You’ll also hear a bit about what’s new in the Pause Breathwork app, including our newest music and the most-loved sleep tracks, plus how you can get an exclusive extended trial as a listener.

If you try the 30 Second Reset, I’d absolutely love to hear from you—send me a DM or tag me and let me know how it impacted your day. And if this episode brought you value, please subscribe, rate, and share with someone who could use a little more calm and joy in their world.

Thanks for listening and for being such a big part of this community. I can’t wait for you to experience the power of the 30 Second Reset for yourself. Let’s keep breathing, resetting, and living fully—together.
