I Went Ice Diving, Turned 50, Got the Flu and Came Back Rewired

I’m back. After a six-week break from the podcast, I’m kicking off Season Two with one of the most honest and transformative updates I’ve ever shared.In the past few weeks, I went ice diving in Finland, turned 50, and got completely wiped out by the flu. I never usually get sick, so this stopped me in my tracks. But instead of pushing through like I would have in the past, I did something different. I paused. I listened. I let my body guide me. And what came from that space has changed everything.In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what the last few weeks have really been like. I talk about what the ice dive taught me, how facing something extreme unlocked something powerful, and why slowing down was actually a catalyst for me. I dive into how our nervous systems, our habits, and the spaces we create for ourselves shape the way we build our business and live our lives.In this episode, I also talk about my next Biohack Your Business Retreat, happening in June. And I’m sharing exactly why I believe the best biohack isn’t a supplement or a red light panel, it’s getting in a room with the right people. This retreat is for entrepreneurs who are done with hustle, ready to lead with energy, and want to scale in a way that feels beautiful, sustainable and alive. If that sounds like you, let’s chat.If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just know something needs to shift, this episode is for you. It’s about choosing expansion. It’s about reconnecting with what really matters. And it’s about building a business that doesn’t burn you out, but lights you up.___________________Episode Highlights:00:00 I share why I’ve been offline for 6 weeks03:22 The life-changing moment standing at the edge of an ice hole in Finland06:03 The Power of Goal Setting08:34 Slowing Down to Scale Up11:01 What the dive taught me about pushing limits and trusting myself18:28 Creating Space for Expansion22:30 Surrounding Yourself with the Right People25:37 The surprising power of retreats and where the real breakthroughs happen---------------------Ready to join me in June?Biohack Your Business® Retreat – June 25-26VIP & Day Tickets available now.www.biohack-your-business.com/retreatCan’t make the date?
