Try This Breathwork Method And Change Your Business Forever | Chris Payten


Listen Later

When you live in fight-or-flight long enough, stress becomes your personality… and that’s exactly what’s happening to most entrepreneurs.

Today we’re joined by Chris Payten, who’s unpacking how entrepreneurs can use breathwork, nervous system regulation techniques, and emotional regulation to win…

And why so many high performers stay stuck in fight-or-flight without realising it.

This conversation connects mental health, performance, leadership, and healing in a way that’s practical, grounded, and immediately usable for business owners.

We break down:

👉Why traditional talk therapy often doesn’t work for high performers

👉How chronic stress silently drives anxiety, burnout, and poor decisions

👉Why “working harder” often makes things worse

👉How breathing directly controls your nervous system, emotions, and focus

👉Why emotional regulation is one of the most important skills in business
