Hi there!
In this video, I discuss the dark side of goal setting and why it may be time for you to stop setting goals. While setting goals can be a powerful tool for personal development and achievement, it can also lead to a spiral of negative self-talk and self-doubt. Many of us set goals based on past trauma and feelings of lacking or self-hate, which can ultimately lead to a never-ending cycle of reward addiction and external validation.
I share insights from my experience working with...

In this episode, I share some insights on the common mistake of chasing numbers when practicing and teaching breath work. While there are measurements that can be used to quantify breath, such as retention time and CO2 tolerance, the downside is that people often turn these numbers into goals and start chasing them. This can lead to neglecting the present moment experience and focusing solely on reaching a certain number, which is not the point of a breathing practice.
I explain the...

In this episode, I discuss one of my favorite practices for self-evolution, which I call "microdosing death."

Do you struggle with stress and anxiety? In this video, I'll show you how to use your breath to lower your levels of stress and anxiety.
