Episode Description from the Publisher

Kristin Weitzel is a force of nature: a master of both strategic brilliance and soulful transformation. With two decades of experience building Fortune 500 brands—she's helmed multi-million-dollar campaigns and orchestrated world-class consumer experiences. But her deepest work began when she turned her experiential mastery inward, applying the same curiosity, drive, and devotion to the human experience. Now, as an expert who speaks on global stages, the founder of SHERPA Breath & Cold, and host of the WELLPOWER Podcast, Kristin has become a trusted leader in health optimization, nervous system regulation, and biohacking. She's certified hundreds of coaches and wellness professionals across North America through the SHERPA instructor program, while also coaching professional athletes, high-performers, and those seeking to reclaim power, peace, and physiological resilience. What makes her rare is the fusion: science-backed expertise and somatic depth, tactical strategy and ritual, high-performance rigor and heart-centered presence. From boardrooms to saunas, sacred spaces to podcast studios, Kristin invites people to remember who they are and rise into the leader they came here to be. In this episode, nervous system coach Kristen Whitsell joins to share how breathwork, cold exposure, psychedelic‑assisted therapy, and IFS/shadow work helped her transmute deep anxiety, grief, and trauma into resilience, self-love, and powerful tools for midlife women to regulate their nervous systems and reclaim their full, authentic power.   RESOURCES: Learn more about Kristin Weitzel here: http://sherpabreathandcold.com and here: https://www.wellpower.life/  Instagram: @kristinweitzelofficial Get 10% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS:  00:00 – Kristen Whitsell intro & bio highlight 02:09 – Sponsor: Peluva barefoot shoe ad 03:55 – Kristen's work & nervous system focus 06:02 – From dancer to nervous system coach & deep breakup grief 09:57 – Shadow work, IFS parts, and hypervigilance superpowers 16:00 – Psychedelic-assisted therapy, MDMA, and integration training 39:48 – Cold exposure, depression, and building resilience through discomfort 49:50 – IFS teaching, inner parts, and practical client exercises 60:53 – Practical cold plunge guidelines, temps, timing, and tools 01:02:00 – Sherpa Breath & Cold offerings, client success, and host sign‑off   WORK WITH TARA: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?
