What happens when a Special Forces operator, professional fighter, and lifelong warrior finally meets the one opponent he can’t out‑run: his own nervous system?

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Michael sits down with Tim Thomas, founder of Breathwork in Bed, former Australian Special Forces operator, PTSD survivor, and a man who rebuilt his life one breath at a time.

Tim shares how trauma rewired his body, how sleep became impossible, and how breathwork became the doorway back to peace, presence, and identity. Together, they explore:

• What combat and chronic stress do to the nervous system
• Why breathwork is one of the fastest ways to regulate the body
• How sleep, trauma, and breath are interconnected
• The moment Tim realized he was no longer okay
• How he rebuilt his life through breath, stillness, and self‑compassion
• What he teaches thousands of people today through Breathwork in Bed

This episode is a cinematic journey into healing, resilience, and the quiet power of coming home to yourself.
