In this episode, Rachel welcomes Heather Sumlin, a Mental Management Coach who has specialized in helping women master the mental game since 2006.

In this episode, Rachel teaches the technique of breath holding as a way to increase athleticism. Improving the body's tolerance to CO2 can lead to more efficient oxygen delivery to cells and muscles, thereby enhancing exercise performance. This walking exercise involving breath holds gradually helps to improve CO2 tolerance, and can be implemented into jogging, running and biking routines to increase intensity of workouts, without physical strain.
