In this powerful episode of A Voice and Beyond, we sit down with Matt Soule—survival self-defence expert, breathwork leader, one of the first certified Wim Hof Method instructors in the U.S., and now creator of his own unique training system, "The Cold Club."

Matt takes us on an extraordinary journey through the science of stress mastery. From teaching self-defence and martial arts to leading breathwork retreats around the world, Matt's mission is to empower people to take control of their stress response and unlock their highest potential.

Together, we explore:

• The healing power of cold exposure and breathwork
• What the Wim Hof Method really is—and how it’s been changing lives
• How Matt helps people manage trauma, autoimmune conditions, and anxiety
• The balance between discipline and surrender in building resilience
• How ancient survival skills meet modern-day science
• Why emotional mastery is the key to peak performance and joy

Matt also shares deeply personal stories—from his own challenges with childhood trauma to the breakthroughs he's witnessed in special forces veterans and everyday people alike. This is a must-listen episode for anyone ready to reclaim their power, cultivate clarity, and ignite their inner fire.
