In this episode, I catch up with renowned big wave surfer Jamie Mitchell. He shares his journey from nearly hitting rock bottom to absolutely charging in life!
We delve into the parallels between navigating towering waves and managing intense emotions.
Jamie chats about the transformative effect of sauna sessions, ice baths, Wim Hof breathing techniques, and exercise, all contribute to creating a good life.
He reflects on the transformative power of surrounding oneself with positive influences.
Jamie recounts a pivotal moment when an intervention staged by his wife and family fell short in his battle with addiction.
It was only after breaking his back and going on a massive bender that Jamie acknowledged the need for a drastic life change.
He stresses the importance of learning from others who have faced similar struggles as a strategy for laying the groundwork for personal triumph.
