Hi Reader, Did you know the average person breathes about 25,000 times per day? Yet most of us don't realize that how we breathe can greatly impact our quality of life. This week, Leanne Weaver, a Certified Nutritional Professional, Human Potential Coach, and Trauma-Informed Breathwork Coach with over 25 years of experience, is taking over my email to help us all breath better and easier. By integrating breathwork with nutrition and lifestyle changes, Leanne helps countless clients achieve remarkable results in stress reduction, confidence, and overall health. As business leaders and entrepreneurs, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed, which can cloud our judgment and affect our decision-making and overall well-being. But what if the key to managing stress and enhancing decision-making is as simple as the way we breathe? Really, breathwork! By mastering our breath, we can achieve a balanced state between calm and focus that not only helps us manage stress, but quiets our minds from the daily distractions that trigger our sympathetic nervous systems, or "fight or flight" response. Here are 3 techniques to help you leverage the power of breathwork throughout your day:

Honestly, why go it alone when help is an email away?
I was planning to write one of those typical messages about getting back into a business mindset now that Labor Day is in the rearview and we’re heading into the busiest time of year for many of us. But, when I sit down to write, I don’t feel the usual back-to-school energy that’s typical for me during the first week of September. Instead, I’m reflecting on my mixed bag of a summer and wishing it weren’t, in everything but name, over. I had such momentum coming into the season and then life...
