    Breathe and Think Better Episode 57: Cold Exposure

    Welcome back to another episode of the Breathe and Think Better Podcast!
    Today we explore the benefits of cold water exposure and discuss our personal experience of entering into the unknown and the uncomfortable.
    We also discuss the immense value of time and attention and explore ways to increase the quality of both — among other related topics.
    The barrel we use for our in-house cold exposure therapy is called The Ice Barrel ™ and just for being one of our amazing listeners, you can get $150 off your very own Ice Barrel. We highly recommend it!
    Thank you for being here, and thank you for your continued support.
