In this episode, we get the low-down on Madison's first experience in a sensory deprivation float tank (hint: it was really cool & we should all try it). We talk about what floating is & the health benefits that accompany it, the importance of taking time to explore beyond your physical body, what 75 minutes of being in the tank was like, and the mental hurdles you experience while you're in there.

We hope this episode inspires you to try something new on your wellness journey! There's so much out there to help you expand your being, you just have to lean into it a little.

In this episode, we dive into a topic that many people seem to experience in one way or another—a quarter-life crisis. Whether it's a career, relationship, home-buying, family-starting, or self-identity related, the feeling of needing to have it figured out but not sure how to get there is certainly heightened during the early adulthood phase of life. We discuss how we personally have experienced the quarter-life crisis sensation, the ways we've found to navigate it, and advice for our younger selves.
