Duane is joined by Beau Williams, the author of "One Year With My Soulmate." We discuss the deeply personal and emotional process of navigating life after such profound loss. Beau courageously opens up about his late partner Melanie's struggles with unresolved trauma and dependency on Adderall, and her search for healing through breathwork and self-discovery. This conversation sheds light on the complexities of love and loss and the resilience required to find purpose amidst the chaos.

Through sleepless nights in America and a transformative move to Bali, we explore how practices like HIIT fitness, ice baths, and journaling became crucial components of self-healing. Beau's story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to transform pain into purpose, as he embraced a new mission to help others struggling with trauma and addiction. Our dialogue touches on the emotional toll of grief, the struggle to maintain personal growth, and the importance of self-care, highlighting the impact of eliminating alcohol and the power of breathwork in clearing negative energies.
