Have you ever thought about what happens when you can't hold onto those magical flow states?

In this week’s episode, Aimee sits down with Leo Marrs, a breath advocate and entrepreneur, to explore why we slip out of creative flow and what both sides of this human spectrum teach us.

This conversation will definitely shift how you think about the inevitable ebb and flow of consciousness.

Leo takes us through:

- Why breath awareness works 100% of the time as a portal to presence

- The difference between active breathing sessions and everyday breath awareness

- How he went from running nightclubs to opening breath studios

- The "meta question" technique for making big decisions

- How to trust your body's natural intelligence for decision-making

- The relationship between expansion, contraction, and universal flow

And so much more!

Today's guest hails from the wilds of Alaska to the frontiers of consciousness. Leo Marrs shares a journey shaped by raw experience, entrepreneurial fire, and spontaneous awakening.

A high school dropout turned founder of America’s first breathwork studio, Leo brings a rare fusion of somatic intelligence, street-tested wisdom, and irreverent spiritual insight. Through stories, tools, and transmissions, we'll explore what it means to be fully alive in a rapidly evolving world.
