At a time when many of life's little luxuries have been taken away or at least put on hold,

our sponsor Ole is here to ensure we can all still indulge in some of the finer things in life.

I am in love with their retinal collection. I have tried all the creams, lads, and I mean all of them.

And this makes my skin feel incredible. Really glowy, really strong, really bright, which in winter is a tricksy old thing. With Olae, I can face anything. Seriously, anything. And there's a lot going on. Let's be honest.

Fried turkey balls with cranberry sauce, days watching movies under a scratchy blanket. 2021 just over the horizon. There are a million things I'm thankful for today, but what is my guest thankful for? Where breathing steps in is it gives us something to do.

The pure act of breathing is then a safe place for the mind to park itself, that we go, right, okay, I'm here right now and I'm just breathing.

I'm Angela Scanlan and welcome to Thanks a Million, where we explore our guest's personal gratitude lists to find out the things that have shaped their lives.

Let's face it, 2020 has been quite a year, and one thing that we've all had to remember consciously to do from time to time is breathe, deeply, and hang in there.

Now, as you digest Christmas and get ready for 2021,

a brand new year, which has got to be better,

which has got to be brighter,

I come bearing a gift from me to you,

the perfect companion who could actually change your life. His name is Stuart Sanderman, the founder

of BreathPod. Stuart harnesses the power of our breathing in a very, very accessible way to

improve our physical, mental and emotional health, promising to alleviate stress and anxiety, reducing

negative emotions and instead making us feel more confident

and focused. He has featured on a ton of platforms and even has the Gwyneth Paltrow.

I can never really say that Paltrow. Stamper of approval. During lockdown, he helped a huge

amount of people giving free Instagram breath work sessions

all saved on his IGTV, just follow at BreathPod, and I for one was incredibly thankful for

them. Before we hop into the episode, a few of your thanks a million trios. I say trios,

you know, we're getting a little looser, but some of them are.
