In this episode, me and Anna kick off our podcast! After lots of planning and requests, we decided to go live together for the first time, answering some of your questions. We cover a range of topics – from how to keep a sexy marriage alive while managing kids and two businesses, to deep dives on relationships and personal growth. We explore whether people are "meant to be" together, talk about the importance of aligning values, and share our thoughts on love, life purpose, and personal evolution. Plus, we're taking live questions while streaming, so join the conversation!
Welcome to Walking Our Path, the podcast where we explore meaningful topics while going on a walk together. In this episode we’ll be diving into an important subject - using breathwork to navigate heavy emotional states like depression, burnout, and grief. This episode is a little different from the typical quick-fix advice you might hear in wellness circles. Through my own experiences with these struggles, I’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all breathwork technique to "fix" these feelings. Instead, breathwork can serve as a tool to help us connect with, and move through, these emotions rather than avoid them. Together, we'll explore how simple breathing practices can help you find calm and safety in challenging moments, without expecting immediate solutions. Let's walk through this journey of healing, breath by breath.
In this episode of Walking Our Path, I'm reflecting on embracing life's challenges while walking in Nuuksio National Park, Finland. Amid nature, I'm sharing an analogy: the beauty of the lotus flower, which requires the mud to grow, symbolizing that our most beautiful traits often arise from our darkest moments. I recall a visit to a burnt forest where new life flourished, emphasizing nature's constant transformation. This insight applies to human experiences, where hardships foster personal growth and resilience. I'm encouraging you to appreciate both the beauty and the struggle, acknowledging their interconnectedness and the cyclical nature of life.

In this video, I talk about how you don't necessarily need a formal breathwork practice to reap the benefits of breathwork. As a breathwork teacher, I know the importance of a formal practice, but I've found that an informal practice can be just as effective in everyday life.
I discuss how informal breathwork practice involves understanding how your breath can influence your state in the moment and using specific breathing techniques to navigate through life's challenges. I also share some examples of how I've used breathing techniques to improve my sleep, digestion, and focus throughout the day. Whether you're new to breathwork or a seasoned practitioner, this video offers practical tips on how to incorporate breathwork into your daily life.
Hi there!
In this video, I discuss the dark side of goal setting and why it may be time for you to stop setting goals. While setting goals can be a powerful tool for personal development and achievement, it can also lead to a spiral of negative self-talk and self-doubt. Many of us set goals based on past trauma and feelings of lacking or self-hate, which can ultimately lead to a never-ending cycle of reward addiction and external validation.
I share insights from my experience working with high achievers, including CEOs and Olympic athletes, who often struggle with this same pattern of motivation. By examining the true motivations behind our goals, we can start to set goals from a place of self-love and enjoyment, leading to a more fulfilling journey towards personal growth and achievement. So, if you're a motivation junkie or self-help enthusiast, this video is for you.
In this episode, I'm going to share with you the difference between functional and dysfunctional breathing. As a breathwork biohacker, I often get asked what is the right way to breathe and what is the wrong way to breathe. But the truth is, there is not a one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on the situation and what your body needs in that moment.
I'll explain why mouth breathing, fast breathing, and chest breathing can be both functional and dysfunctional depending on the context, and how to recognize signs of dysfunctional breathing in yourself. By understanding functional breathing and dysfunctional breathing, you can learn to build a better relationship with your breath and use it as a tool to manage stress and improve your overall well-being.
Hey there!
In this episode, I discuss a commonly made mistake in breathwork that both teachers and practitioners often fall into - relying too heavily on techniques and methods. While I do teach breathing techniques and methods, I stress the importance of understanding the core principles that underlie them. Often, people find a technique that works for them and stick to it, thinking it's the best one. However, this can lead to disappointment when the technique stops working or becomes unpleasant over time.
I explain how following techniques and chasing methods can be a downside in breathwork as it can limit your understanding of the practice. Instead, I encourage viewers to take a technique, break it down, and use it to gain a deeper understanding of the core principles of breath. By doing so, you'll be able to learn how breath works, why techniques work in certain situations and not in others, and gain a deeper understanding of breath physiology and anatomy.
In this episode, I'm sharing some essential tips for choosing the right breath coach for you. As the Breathwork Biohacker, I've seen countless breath coaches out there, but not all are created equal. With the rise of quick-fix certification programs, it's more important than ever to know what to look for in a competent, knowledgeable, and safe breathwork instructor. I'll dive into the red flags to watch out for, the questions you should ask potential coaches, and why understanding the physiological principles, trauma-informed practices, and contraindications are crucial for your breathwork journey.
Join me as I guide you through this vital information to ensure you find a breath coach who can safely and effectively help you experience the powerful benefits of breathwork.

In this episode, I share some insights on the common mistake of chasing numbers when practicing and teaching breath work. While there are measurements that can be used to quantify breath, such as retention time and CO2 tolerance, the downside is that people often turn these numbers into goals and start chasing them. This can lead to neglecting the present moment experience and focusing solely on reaching a certain number, which is not the point of a breathing practice.
I explain the difference between goal orientation and process orientation and how it relates to breath work. Instead of using these numbers as goals, they can be used as in-the-moment measurements to help build a stronger relationship with the body and understand how various lifestyle factors can influence breath. By following the numbers inside the body, we can gain a deeper understanding of how breath influences every part of our life and start to move towards mastery.
In this episode, I talk about the most common mistakes people make in breathwork, specifically focusing on the dangerous habit of chasing the high. I share my experience and knowledge on how practicing breathwork solely to achieve this intense state can actually be detrimental to your health in the long run. I explain how hyperventilation and intense breathing can be a shortcut to experiencing a mind-blowing sensation, but it can dysregulate your breathing, weaken your resilience to stress, and cause negative effects. Instead, I suggest seeking out calmer, more subtle breathing practices that allow you to get deeper into your body and reach even more profound states.
Join me in this episode to learn about the downsides of chasing the high and discover other ways to achieve strong and intense breathwork experiences.
