Sleep, Stress and Small Business: Sarah Laurie on Breathing Better during the Day

In this episode of Open for Small Business, Bridget Snelling is joined by Sarah Laurie, founder of Take a Breath, for a conversation about sleep, stress, and why the way we breathe during the day can shape how we switch off at night.

With many small business owners carrying heavy workloads and constant pressure, Sarah explains why sleep is not just something that happens when the day ends. It is something the brain and body need to be prepared for, and breathing plays an important role in that process.

Together, Bridget and Sarah explore why so many of us hold our breath or breathe shallowly without realising it, how that affects the nervous system, and what can change when people start building better breathing patterns into their working day.

The episode also introduces Take a Breath Week and the free 7-Day Sleep Challenge, which gives people a simple way to test the impact of breathing properly on their sleep, energy, and stress. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
