When traditional therapy leaves you more hopeless than healed, where do you go next? In this episode, we’re breaking down the raw truth about therapy fails, discovering breathwork, and the brutal realities of building a business while the critics lurk.

We unpack the frustration, the rejection, and why lifestyle changes matter just as the work you do.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share:

02:05 - 07:54 Beau’s Therapy Fails: When a psychologist’s rejection stings harder than the problem itself. We break down how these moments mess with your self-esteem and what it teaches us about building resilient kids who can face life’s curveballs.

7:54 - 17:10 Discovering Breathwork: One transformative breathwork session cracked Beau open and set us on a completely new path. Emotional release, real healing, and the start of a whole new mission.

17:10 - 29:25 The Reason Behind Breathwork and Why It Works:  Bau dives deep into why he started breathwork: to release the hate for his ex, for women, and to let go of the victim mindset he was trapped in. Breathwork exposed the real roots of these issues and by processing suppressed emotions and ditching the victim mentality, it gave him the tools to regulate his nervous system, release trauma, and take back control of his life.

29:20 - 38:30 Why We Aren’t Healers and Why You Need to Be Selfish: We never call ourselves healers. Why? Because you are your own healer. We’re here to give you the tools, the knowledge, the guidance, and the support, but you do the work. We’ll hold your hand, give you that kick in the ass when you need it, but you’re the one who changes your life.

28:30 - 52:23 Starting Breath School and  Hosting First Sessions: After his initial breakthrough, Beau dove headfirst into breath school, and the obsession was real (like $10,000 real). He started holding breathwork sessions in our kitchen and people’s lives changed - something huge was set in motion. But breath school wasn’t perfect so we decided to do things our own way.

52:23 - 01:17:10 Our First Tour and Going Viral: When we decided to do an Australian tour, the goal was simple — if we got 10 people at each stop, we were doing it. The passion was there, the belief was there, but let’s be real - we were scared as fuck. What gave us the motivation? Two powerful videos of our breathwork sessions. We put them on TikTok — where none of our mates would see it. And boom — the video went viral. In one night, 80,000 followers. Hundreds of messages. By the time we hit a million views, Beau was ready to quit his job.

01:17:10 - 01:32:20 How and When Everything Went Downhill: The proudest moment of Beau’s life quickly spiraled into one of the most devastating experiences he has ever had. After an incredible event, we were back at the hotel, and Beau stood in the bathroom, filled with pride. He was in tears, overwhelmed with joy. But even then, Kirsty felt a sick gut feeling. Moments later, messages poured in from friends — people were talking about us, and not in a good way.

01:32:20 - 01:43:39 Where We Are Now: Our goal in life and business is to help everyone win, whether you're a breath worker, hairdresser, mechanic, or real estate investor. Breathwork for us is a tool—a tool for success, creativity, and emotional freedom. Over the past three years, we’ve worked with over 10,000 people, continuously refining our structure to create the best outcomes. We believe in collaboration over competition. If our methods resonate with you, use them. Reach out. We’ll help you. We love seeing others succeed because there’s room at the top for everyone. We stand our ground, own our truth, and remain compassionate. No matter the challenges, we’re stronger now, and we’re here to help you win too.
