Weaving Wim Hof into your life for a calmer mind
"It's connection - you're just connected on so many levels"
This week’s episode is with Angela Bentley, The Ice Warrior, who has made it her mission to help people incorporate the Wim Hof method into their everyday lives. As a qualified Wim Hof instructor, Angela has practised and studied the method to truly understand its potential and the health benefits we can all enjoy. From improving her own mental and physical health, where anxiety was a key player and almost losing her life 4 years ago, she takes daily ice baths and practices powerful breathwork to make her stronger, happier and healthier, feeling like a complete warrior.
During the episode, Kate and Angela spoke about:
- Finding resilience through facing the fear of the cold water
- The calming effects of cold water on the vagus nerve and nervous system
- How cold water exposure helps to calm and regulate the ADHD brain
- The power of the Wim Hof breathwork alongside the coldwater exposure
- How to bring cold water exposure practice into everyday life
- How cold water swimming helps to connect and boost communities of women

Become an Active Operator of Your Nervous System | Deb Dana
We don’t think about it this way, but as we move through the day, the various moods we inhabit — excitement, engagement, aggression, fear, dejection — they’re all dictated by, or correlated with, our nervous system, or to be specific, our autonomic nervous system. The guest for this episode explains how you can become an active operator of your own nervous system.
Deb Dana is a licensed clinical social worker, clinician, and consultant who specializes in working with complex trauma — although the advice in this episode can apply to everyone. She is also the author of Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory.
This episode explores:
- What polyvagal theory is.
- The case for understanding our nervous system.
- The practical tools and exercises for changing our nervous system and learning to become more regulated.
- The fact that our nervous systems aren’t simply isolated, self-contained phenomena – they are social structures.
- Our responsibilities for our own nervous system and the nervous systems of others.
