This episode was one of our favourites. We received a masterclass on breathwork by physiotherapist breathwork practitioner (and all-round kind soul), Campbell Will. Now based in Hawaii, Campbell focuses on optimal movement and respiration, emphasizing the importance of breath control in daily life.

Through Breath Body Therapy, he teaches health practitioners and individuals how to harness the innate abilities of the body and shift energy from problems to solutions.

On today’s episode, we hear about:

• Climbing the mountain with legendary breathwork practitioner, Wim Hof
• The symptoms of dysfunctional breathing
• Becoming aware of how your breathing responds to differing emotional states
• Is breathwork “woo-woo”?
• Using breathwork to shift away from symptom management to health creation
• How to build a daily practice though “Read a page, write a page”
• Nasal breathing vs. Mouth Breathing

So so good!

In this episode of The Betterment Project podcast, we dive deeper into the life and lens of Cairns Photographer, Toby Stanley. His journey unfolds like a well-composed photograph, capturing moments of growth, inspiration, and resilience.

In this episode, we get to hear about:

From Gilligans to Golden Frames: Toby reminisces about his early days, cutting his teeth as a photographer at Gilligans nightclub.

Nature’s Embrace: Beyond the neon lights, Toby found solace in nature. His love for the outdoors became an integral part of his work/life balance.

Breaking the Routine: Toby’s secret to longevity? Variety. He avoids falling into a photography grind by embracing different themes each week.

Harmonizing Music and Photography: Music pulses through Toby’s veins. Gilligans not only supported his nightclub photography but also allowed him to shoot live music—a parallel passion.

Freelancer’s Struggles: Toby opens up about the stress of freelancing—the uncertainty, the hustle, and the delicate balance between art and commerce.

Editing with Feeling: Toby’s editing process is an art form. He listens to music—sometimes melancholic, other times upbeat—as he weaves stories through his edits.

Join us as we explore the heart behind the lens.
