About this episode

#634 This week on The Anxiety Slayer podcast, Shann has the pleasure of speaking with Chad Lawson - pianist, composer, podcaster, yogi, and breathing coach from Charlotte, NC. We discuss his new album, Breathe recorded at Abbey Road, and his experience with the intersection of music and wellness. Be sure to listen in for his relaxing guided breathing practice, a taste of what he shares with his LIVE audiences at home and abroad.

Chad’s goal is to provide listeners with an emotional embrace and “hold their hand through everything life throws at them.” 

His music has already been streamed 500 million times!

Chad is also the creator/host of the  Calm It Down podcast whose intention is to “navigate the negative currents as we search to anchor ourselves in calmer waters.”
