Live Well Dream Big

Welcoming in 2022 has felt different than previous years. Maybe it’s a lack of clarity around what the year will bring, or perhaps we're simply off to a slower start than usual. The pressure of setting new year's resolutions is very real this time of year, but many are taking a different approach in 2022.

Manifesting, or using your thoughts, feelings, and intentions to bring something into reality, can be a great approach to experiment with this year. Slowing down and taking time to dream and reimagine your life can help you decide how you are best going to show up and grow in 2022 and beyond.

In this episode, we talk about how to reimagine and recreate the life you want through manifestation, the three ingredients to manifesting your dreams, the importance of total trust and unshakable commitment, the challenges of manifestation, and how to show up for yourself in 2022.

Topics Include:

- How slowing down provides an opportunity for clarity

- The power of letting go

- Looking inward vs outward

- Defining manifestation

- Does manifesting really work?

- Suzanne’s journey with meditation

- How to work through difficult thoughts and harness their potential

- How to dismantle past selves and why this is important

- The battle between fear and inner wisdom

- Allowing your authentic self to take action

- And other topics…

In our quick-fix, productivity obsessed culture, taking time to pause and be present with ourselves often feels uncomfortable or just plain wrong.

Our drive to do more and be more keeps us busy, but keeping busy isn’t enough if we want to live our best lives and make a big impact.

In fact, as many of us have learned the hard way, staying busy all the time can actually be an obstacle on our Live Well, Dream Big journey resulting in overwhelm, burnout, and a lack of meaning or purpose.

But there is a better way. And that’s what we are talking about on the podcast today!

In today’s episode, Suzanne discusses what’s possible for us when we can let go of our busyness, put down the to-do list, and embrace the no plan, plan.

Suzanne share’s why our biggest, most empowering insights come through when we create space for our inner wisdom to shine.

Listen in to learn what you can do to create this kind of space and presence in your life this season.

Topics Include:

• How Suzanne found meaning and purpose in her life
• The backstory of Live Well, Dream Big
• Personal growth and getting unstuck
• What’s next for Live Well, Dream Big

If you struggle to sleep, you know that a restless night can mean increased anxiety, lack of focus, and decreased memory. Patrick McKeown’s advice for better sleep and less anxiety? Functional breathing.

Patrick first started experimenting with breathwork while at university. He was suffering from an inability to sleep which resulted in high anxiety, increased stress, and failure to focus. Patrick found the solution to a good night’s sleep in functional breathing. He has since dedicated his life to studying breathing and sleep disorders.

Join Suzanne and Patrick as they talk about how breathing impacts your health and life, why nose breathing is the foundation of healthy breathing patterns, how to reduce the risk of sleep disorders, how to stimulate the vagus nerve, and more.

Topics Include:

Patrick McKeown's backstory. Understanding the fundamentals of breathing. Proper breathing technique. Simple tricks to fix snoring. The proper way to take a deep breath. Signs of dysfunctional breathing in infants and adults. A simple test to identify dysfunctional breathing. Breathing exercises for COVID and anxiety patients. How to decongest your nose in five minutes. And other topics...

Patrick McKeown is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. In 2002, Patrick completed his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko.

Having suffered from asthma, rhinitis, and sleep-disordered breathing for over 20 years, Patrick offers both theoretical knowledge and his own experiences to help clients to overcome similar challenges.

To date, Patrick has written seven books and produced four DVD sets about the Buteyko Method, including three Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk category bestsellers: Close Your Mouth, Asthma-Free Naturally, and Anxiety Free: Stop Worrying and Quieten your Mind.

The Oxygen Advantage

More than ever people are struggling with insomnia and other sleep issues. Some may consider themselves night owls because they’re tired all day but seem to wake up at night when they should be sleeping. It’s a vicious cycle.

Before electricity, our ancestors woke with the sun and went to bed with the moon. There was a natural rhythm to the days and nights with no interruptions. That all changed with the invention of the light bulb.

Today we have to be intentional about our habits connected with sleep. Sleep expert Mollie McGlocklin struggled with insomnia until she learned how to develop sleep as a skill.

In this episode, Suzanne and Mollie discuss how technology has interrupted our natural sleep patterns. They discuss how we can break these patterns and even leverage technology to improve our sleep.

Topics Include:

Training your Circadian rhythm. How sleep affects our health. Chronobiology. Zeitgebers. Light timing. How temperature affects your sleep. Why you need to stop eating before bed. Sleep trackers. Sleep supplements. Sleep for shift workers. And other topics...

Mollie McGlocklin is a sleep expert, creator of Sleep is a Skill, and the host of the Sleep is a Skill podcast. Mollie’s mission is to help people optimize their sleep through the use of technology, accountability, and behavioral change.
