When everything around you feels loud, fast, and overwhelming, sometimes the best thing you can do is stop, and get in cold water. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Kris Rice for a conversation about nervous system healing, resilience, and how cold therapy became a lifeline for navigating chaos.

Kris shares her journey of creating the ChillPod—a luxury cold immersion system designed to make cold plunging feel empowering, accessible, and deeply restorative, especially for women. She and Lyndsay unpack how cold exposure doesn’t just reduce inflammation or nerve pain, it rewires how you respond to stress, helps you come back to your body, and reminds you that you're stronger than your worst days.

They talk about setting intentions, listening to your body, and creating space for stillness when the world keeps pushing you to hustle. Whether it’s cold plunging, breathwork, or simply being honest about what you need, this episode is a nudge toward choosing calm, even when everything feels like chaos.

Tune in if you’re ready to reset your system, reclaim your calm, and start building a wellness practice that actually works for you.
