Today's Podcast:

Today's guests are Jackie and Vikki, two breathwork educators who have both experienced the life-changing effects of Long COVID and now help others living with Long COVID, ME/CFS and chronic fatigue.

In this episode, we explore why so many people feel constantly exhausted, the connection between breathing and the nervous system, and why rest alone isn't always enough.

We also discuss their personal recovery journeys, the importance of listening to your body, and simple, practical strategies that may help support recovery.
