The Breathwork Reset for Stress, Shame, and Anxiety w/ Jon Paul Crimi

Jon Paul Crimi is a former celebrity trainer and sober coach turned breathwork teacher who has worked with CEOs, Olympians, and Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners. In this episode, Jon Paul shares how his own struggles with addiction, identity, anger, and shame led him to breathwork, and why that first experience changed everything. He and Mike talk about emotional detox, the feelings we push down, and why so many of our habits, including drinking, can become ways to escape what we haven’t fully processed. Jon Paul also explains circular breathwork, why it can feel so powerful, and how breathwork can help release stress, anxiety, shame, and emotional buildup in a way that talking alone sometimes can’t reach.RELATED ARTICLES FROM THE SUNNYSIDE BLOG: Anxiety and Alcohol: Why Drinking Feels Like It Helps, Then Makes Things Worse Alcohol and Cortisol: Why Drinking Raises Your Stress Hormone (And What to Do About It) Feeling Down?
