  Aug 15, 202632 minS1

  When you’re running a small business and wearing every single hat, feeling overwhelmed isn't just exhausting—it directly damages your decision-making. In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business, Mitchell sits down with Shalin Desai, Senior Programme Director at the Art of Living Foundation. Shalin breaks down why busyness often leads to a downward spiral of low energy, and how simple daily breathwork operates like essential "mental hygiene." Backed by science—including a landmark Yale University study—Shalin explains how tools like SKY breathing reduce stress hormones, keep leaders grounded in the present moment, and restore strategic clarity. Plus, Mitchell puts Shalin to the test with a live "intuitive life scan."
