Breathwork Broke Him Open: Burnout, Focus, and Letting Go | Jack Lesser
from The Stupid Gap · host Ryan Gray
Breathwork pulled Jack Lesser out of burnout and into a life he barely recognized — and this conversation is the whole arc of how it happened. Jack walked away from a "golden handcuffs" corporate job, got dragged to the floor by his first breathwork session, and went to a 5-day retreat in Costa Rica that took the person he used to be apart and rebuilt him. We get into identity change and the fear-based decisions that kept him stuck, what a real breathwork experience actually feels like, why focus is the superpower of 2026, proof of work as a way to live, and the strange moment he realized the intention he'd written for himself was almost word-for-word this show's tagline.The Stupid Gap is a podcast about identity change — the space between who you are and who you need to become to build a life you don't want to escape.Did you know I'm a personal skills & mindset coach?If you want to know more check out my personal website below.🌐 thatryangray.com🔗 Get in touch with Jack: https://jacklesser.me/
