This week’s episode is a special replay of a 2021 conversation between Harmony Slater and Kelsey Murphy, originally aired on the Whiskey & Work podcast. At the height of pandemic-era stress and life juggling, Harmony joined Kelsey to talk about the power of breathwork—why it works, how it affects the nervous system, and simple practices you can start using today. Whether you’re a high performer, busy parent, or someone simply trying to navigate daily overwhelm, Harmony offers gentle, science-backed breathing techniques that make a real difference.

  • Why breathwork is the simplest, most powerful productivity hack
  • The connection between irregular breathing patterns and chronic stress
  • How the vagus nerve plays a key role in your emotional and physical health
  • Micro-practices for busy mornings, chaotic afternoons, and restless evenings

  • The unexpected benefits of humming and gratitude
  • Why not all breathwork is created equal—and how to avoid making things worse
  • The brainwave states that affect creativity, focus, and sleep
  • Harmony’s journey from yoga studio owner to global teacher to online coach
  • Easy ways to bring your kids into your practice
