In this episode of We CU Stories Unbound, CU Students Safiro and Eliezer Velez reflect on how an honest conversation between Daughter and Father, led to an unexpected collaboration—and a deeper understanding of stress, care, and connection. As they talk openly about hustle culture, burnout, and mental health, a simple but powerful realization emerges: slowing down can be life-changing. Their core project, Breathe, grew out of honest conversations, moments of pause, and a desire to create space for others to step out of constant urgency. This episode explores how choosing to breathe can restore balance, strengthen relationships, and ripple outward into families and communities. Ending with an invitation to join in on their weekly podcast Breathe.
