Episode notes

Plunging into freezing cold water, like a cold shower or a swim in icy waters, can be a shocking yet transformative experience. Initially, there's fear and discomfort, but as you sit with the sensations, they become easier to bear. It's a way to dissociate from fear and challenge mental stories. Even though it can be done in fancy gyms, it's not necessary. Cold showers are a budget-friendly option. It wakes you up and energizes you, reminding you that you can handle discomfort. As we age, we tend to prioritize comfort, but stepping out of our comfort zones can bring profound joy and ecstasy.

Jonny Miller is best known for hosting the Curious Humans Podcast and for his TEDx talk on “The Gifts of Grief” Jonny coaches ambitious founders to scale themselves and runs an online cohort-based training called Nervous System Mastery. He is also the co-founder of Maptia, a global visual storytelling platform.
