What if the key to performing at your highest level isn’t doing more but learning how to slow down?
During my conversation with Kristin Weitzel, Founder of Sherpa Breath & Cold, we talked about cold exposure, breathwork, nervous system regulation, biohacking, and what it really takes to perform under pressure.
Kristin explains how cold plunging can become a training ground for stress, helping people learn to stay present, regulate themselves, and build a greater capacity for difficult situations. We also talk about her journey from launching Red Bull in the U.S. to building Sherpa and training hundreds of coaches.
This highlight is a powerful reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t separate from success. It can be part of what makes success sustainable.
