In this episode, Estelle is joined by Laura Hof and Isabelle Hof to explore the profound impact of the cold on our bodies and minds.
Together, they dive into how the cold can positively impact mental health, consciousness, and female hormones, and how practices like the Wim Hof Method can bring us back to sovereignty, balance, and deeper connection.
