Why Cold Showers Might Be the Most Empowering Hard Thing You Ever Do

Because doing one hard thing might make everything else easier

What if the most empowering thing you do today only took 90 seconds - and made you more resilient to everything else?

In this episode, we explore the science and psychology behind cold showers: why they don’t stop you getting sick, but might help you bounce back faster; how they train your stress response and sharpen your mood; and why doing one hard thing each day might just make life feel a little easier.

From ancient rituals to Dutch research to personal hesitation, we cover the grit, the gain - and how to actually start (without hating it).
