[XO] The breathing trick that changed my life

Ever wonder why you’re so exhausted after a full night’s sleep? Or why “just take a deep breath” sometimes doesn’t cut it? Here’s the kicker: we’ve been breathing our whole lives, but most of us are still doing it wrong.

In today’s episode, we’re taking a closer look at the one thing we’re doing all day, every day, without thinking—our breath. Inspired by James Nestor’s book Breath, someone's shocking sleep apnea diagnosis, and even my own asthma experience preparing to hike Machu Picchu, this episode breaks down why your breath matters way more than you think.

We'll explore a few easy (and research-backed!) techniques you can try right now to feel more energized, focused, and calm—without adding more to your to-do list. If you’re looking for a small shift that leads to a big impact, this episode will help you understand how the way you breathe can change everything.
