Exploring the Depths of Human Potential through the cold

In this episode, Lisa Dawn interviews Rachel Babaganov, a passionate practitioner of the Wim Hof Method and a Women's Empowerment facilitator.

Rachel shares her journey from a traditional upbringing in an Uzbekistan tribe to her path of empowerment and self-discovery through the Wim Hof Method, an approach that involves cold therapy, breathing techniques and embodiment

We discuss the importance of somatic work, self-awareness, and the transformative power of healing, relationships and community. Rachel also touches on the imperative of listening to our body and respecting our individual rhythms and natural cycles.

In addition, she sheds light on the influence of the Wim Hof method in her life and coaching practice, and emphasizes the significant impact of being present, connecting with our bodies, and reframing our experiences.
