[340] - The Pause That Changes Arguments, Eating and Stress

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Stress shuts down the thinking part of the brain and pushes us into automatic reactions. In this episode, I explain how nasal breathing helps bring the prefrontal cortex back online so you can pause, reset, and respond instead of reacting. I share simple scripts you can use in arguments, cravings, and work pressure so you can shift from overwhelm to clarity in real time.

What You Will Learn:

What stress does to heart rate, breathing, and focusWhy the prefrontal cortex goes offline when pressure risesHow nasal breathing signals safety through the vagus nerveA one breath reset you can use for arguments and cravingsHow 4-8 breathing slows reactions and widens perspectiveWhy you should practise in messy moments, not just calm onesSmall cues to build the habit across different shiftsThe core idea that stress narrows and breathing widens
