Hey guys hey! In this powerful episode of Adulting with Autism, I’m joined by Tim Thomas—former Special Forces operator turned breathwork expert, sleep coach, and veteran mental health advocate. Tim takes us on a journey into the science (and soul) of transformational breathing techniques, showing how your lungs might just be the best pharmacy you never knew you had.
From overcoming PTSD and helping his autistic daughter find calm, to teaching elite athletes and exhausted parents how to reset their nervous systems—Tim shares how breathwork can dramatically improve your sleep, stress levels, focus, and emotional health.
💡 What you’ll learn:
How to use breath to reduce anxiety and increase energy
Tim’s personal story of healing from trauma and insomnia
“Turbo breathing” for daily stress relief
Sunrise light, grounding, and free daily rituals to regulate your circadian rhythm
Why better sleep = better life (and how to start tonight)
How to breathe into your full body for calm, clarity, and connection
✨ Whether you're neurodivergent, a caregiver, a veteran, or just tired of being tired, this episode is packed with techniques you can try immediately—and they won’t cost a thing.
