The Breath Barista with Sandy Abrams
Sandy Abrams serves up shots of Breath & Mindfulness to help you tap into the power of your BREATH in small moments everyday. Just like you choose the kind of coffee or tea that you drink (from decaf/herbal to triple shot), you should choose how you breathe because mindful BREATH helps you create that specific energy from calm to balanced or boosted. You'll soon see that your first nourishing breath of the day can be just as coveted as that first sip of morning coffee. How do you take your breath? Sandy likes hers with a double shot of inspiration & empowerment. With each breath practice that Sandy serves up, you'll learn about the science of breath while FEELING how different breaths can immediately shift your mood, mindset and energy to relieve stress, empower your thoughts and maintain overall wellbeing.
Disclaimer: This podcast is raw and unedited in order to simply share mindful breath more often without having a production team--maybe someday. :)
I welcome your thoughts, feedback & questions!

The Breath Barista with Sandy Abrams
Mindful Tech: Staying Human in a Digital World
Mindful Tech: Staying Human in a Digital World
Technology isn’t the enemy—it’s an incredible tool. But as it evolves, so must we. The real opportunity now is to ensure we evolve with it in a more human-centric way. The goal isn’t to disconnect from tech, but to stay deeply connected to ourselves and others while using it.
Neuroscience shows that our brains are shaped by what we repeatedly do. Constant stimulation—scrolling, notifications, even reliance on AI for advice—keeps our nervous systems in a subtle state of stress and weakens the neural pathways for creativity, empathy and patience. Yet mindful self-awareness and human connection do the opposite: slow breathing activates your parasympathetic “rest and digest” response, boosting oxytocin when we connect with other, lowering cortisol and restoring emotional balance. Genuine connection—eye contact, laughter, conversation—literally strengthens your immune system and sense of belonging.
It’s time to double down on awareness—on how we balance the algorithm with the heart. Real progress isn’t about being more wired in; it’s about being more tuned in—to ourselves & each other.
Please share with someone who could use some mindful BREATH to feel better!
