What if the cure to your burnout isn’t a beach in the Caribbean—but a breath?
 
In this raw and refreshingly real solo episode, host Will Rodriguez opens up about hitting rock bottom—mentally, emotionally, and energetically—and the unexpected thing that helped crack the pressure: his own outbreath.
 
No, not the calm, serene breath you take at a yoga retreat. We’re talking full-on, primal, “scare-the-neighbors” screaming into the void. And it turns out… it helped. A lot.
 
🎧 In this episode, Will shares:

• Why burnout had him dragging himself out of bed like a zombie in flip-flops
• How a spontaneous scream became his spiritual pressure valve
• The science and the soul behind why exhaling is so healing
• The link between breath and emotion in ancient cultures—and your daily life
• A gentle guided moment to reconnect with your breath (without needing a passport or a guru)

🧘‍♂️ Why You Should Listen:
If you’ve been running on fumes and craving relief, this episode offers a powerful, practical, and downright cathartic tool that’s completely free and always with you: your breath. You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll definitely want to try this surprisingly effective technique—though maybe not in your open-plan office.
