About this episode
Kristin Weitzel guides listeners through a 90-second cold plunge practice to build resilience through breath and mindset.
In this guided ice bath facilitation, Kristin leads listeners through a simple but powerful 90-second cold plunge practice designed to build resilience through breath and mindset. With nearly a decade of experience guiding thousands of people into cold water, Kristin walks you step-by-step through preparation, the moment of entering the cold, and how to steady your nervous system using long, controlled exhales. Framed through her signature “good news” mindset, the practice transforms the shock of cold water into an opportunity for growth, strength, and presence. Whether you’re plunging in your bathtub, an ice barrel, or wild water, this track offers a supportive voice to guide you through the experience and remind you that discomfort can be a doorway to greater capacity in life.
