E 217 Desk-Side Calm: Simple Stress Relief You Can Do Anywhere

Send us a text

I'm so excited to share this week's episode with you! I had an amazing conversation with Marie Young, who taught me some incredible techniques for finding calm and peace - even when you're stuck at your desk all day.
You know those moments when anxiety starts creeping in, but you can't exactly drop everything and do a full yoga session? Marie shows us some genius "any chair, anywhere" exercises that literally changed how I feel. During our chat, I was getting those wonderful relaxation tingles (fellow ASMR fans, you know what I'm talking about! 😊).
Here's a peek at what you'll learn:

A super simple "seated cat-cow" movement that helps flush your brain with good stuff (who knew?)
Face massage techniques that tap into your body's natural relaxation system
A totally different way to breathe that I've never tried before (hint: it's not just about the belly!)

Marie explains everything in such an accessible way - no weird poses or complicated techniques. Just practical tools you can use whether you're:

Sitting in class
Working at your desk
Feeling overwhelmed and need a quick reset
Looking for ways to help your kids manage school stress

I literally felt more relaxed just recording this episode, and I know you'll get so much value from these techniques. They're perfect for those busy days when you need a moment of calm but don't have time for a full meditation session.
Ready to learn these game-changing techniques? Tune in to hear the full episode - your nervous system will thank you!

If you try any of these techniques, I'd love to hear how they work for you! And for my fellow ASMR enthusiasts - we have a fun discussion about that too! 🎧✨
