486: Why Breathwork is the Missing Piece in Your Midlife Wellness Journey with Samantha Skelly

What if the secret to calming your nervous system, improving your sleep, and even slowing down aging was as simple as changing how you breathe? Today's conversation with breath work expert Samantha Skelly reveals why most of us are only using 30% of our lung capacity and how this impacts everything from our stress levels to our cellular health. Learn the exact technique that can shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-repair in just 3-5 minutes. Samantha shares her personal transformation story and breaks down the science of why breath work works where other practices fail - especially for Type-A personalities and women navigating midlife changes. We explore the connection between chronic stress and physical symptoms, address spiritual concerns about the practice, and Sam provides a simple technique you can start using tomorrow morning.
