Breathing to Reset Your Nervous System

We often move through the day in a state of stress without even realizing it. Our minds are busy, our bodies are tense, and we forget to slow down. But the way we breathe can actually shift how we feel mentally, emotionally, and physically. Join Dr. Melissa Mahon and Emily Evans Russell for a conversation all about using your breath as a tool to reset. They'll talk about what’s really happening in your body when you’re stressed, how breathing plays a key role in regulating your nervous system, and why something as simple as slowing down your exhale can make a big difference. Whether you're feeling anxious, burned out, or just want to feel more present, this episode will provide a gentle and accessible starting point. No equipment, no big routine; just your breath and a few minutes of your time. Tune in, take a breath with us, and see how something so simple can help you feel a little more like yourself again.
