In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, host Curtis Davies speaks with Sam Murray, founder of The Breath Connection, a former British Royal Marine Commando, and an expert in breath retraining, nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and stress resilience. After years of struggling with alcohol & drug addiction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, panic symptoms, poor sleep, and energy crashes, Sam discovered that dysfunctional breathing was at the core of his entire health cycle.

Sam has worked with law enforcement teams, firefighters, military personnel, NHS staff, high-performance athletes, and people in high-pressure roles who need to stay calm, focused, and emotionally steady under stress. His program, Back to Balance, helps people reset their breathing, quiet their mind, and regain control over their nervous system.
