## Resource

Jon Paul Crimi is a former celebrity trainer and sober coach turned breathwork teacher who has worked with CEOs, Olympians, and Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners. In this episode, Jon Paul shares how his own struggles with addiction, identity, anger, and shame led him to breathwork, and why that first experience changed everything. He and Mike talk about emotional detox, the feelings we push down, and why so many of our habits, including drinking, can become ways to escape what we haven’t fully processed. Jon Paul also explains circular breathwork, why it can feel so powerful, and how breathwork can help release stress, anxiety, shame, and emotional buildup in a way that talking alone sometimes can’t reach.
