173: Will the Pursuit of Longevity Make the Loneliness Epidemic Worse? With Documentary Filmmaker David Donnelly

175: Breathe Away Trauma, with A-List Breathwork Coach Jon Paul Crimi

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519718/fan_mail/new] What if the most powerful healing tool available to you requires nothing more than your own breath? Jon Paul Crimi is one of the most sought-after breathwork coaches in the world — working with celebrities, Fortune 500 companies, and Tony Robbins events — and his story begins not in a wellness studio, but in the depths of addiction and trauma. What brought him out was breathwork. And he has spent the last two decades helping others experience the same transformation. In this episode of The Game Changer Podcast, Jon Paul joins Michelle Dutro to break down the science behind conscious breathing, why circular breathwork can feel like 20 years of therapy in a single session, and how anyone — regardless of background, beliefs, or experience level — can use breath to heal, perform, and live more fully. In this episode: * Jon Paul's journey from addiction and trauma to becoming a world-class breathwork facilitator * The science of breathwork and how conscious breathing impacts the brain, nervous system, and emotional health * The difference between circular breathwork and techniques like Wim Hof or box breathing * How breathwork accelerates healing in recovery, trauma release, and mental clarity * Why breathwork is now being used in high-performance environments including Hollywood and corporate settings * How to choose quality breathwork training and what makes a safe and effective teacher * Quick breath practices for stress, emotional triggers, and social media conflicts * Why every breathwork session is unique and how layers of healing unfold over time 🌐 Website: https://breathewithjp.com [https://breathewithjp.com] 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonpaulcrimi [https://www.instagram.com/jonpaulcrimi] 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/breathewithjp [https://www.facebook.com/breathewithjp] 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-paul-crimi-967b80208 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-paul-crimi-967b80208] 🐦 X: https://x.com/jonpaulcrimi [https://x.com/jonpaulcrimi] 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jonpaulcrimi [https://www.tiktok.com/@jonpaulcrimi] Follow Michelle & The Game Changer Podcast: 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-game-changer-podcast/id1045184666 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-game-changer-podcast/id1045184666] 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/21rBkLNp8cNO34ZbVwEjpC [https://open.spotify.com/show/21rBkLNp8cNO34ZbVwEjpC]  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@michelledutro [https://www.youtube.com/@michelledutro]  🔗 Everything else: https://linktr.ee/michelledutro [https://linktr.ee/michelledutro] This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for the advice of a physician, therapist, or other qualified health professional.

173: Will the Pursuit of Longevity Make the Loneliness Epidemic Worse? With Documentary Filmmaker David Donnelly

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519718/fan_mail/new] What if the very science promising to extend your life is quietly stealing the one thing that makes it worth living? Documentary filmmaker David Donnelly joins Michelle Dutro to pull back the curtain on the longevity revolution — and the loneliness crisis hiding inside it. Donnelly's upcoming documentary Forever Young, out this summer, takes an unflinching look at what happens when we optimize for lifespan while neglecting the human connections that actually make life meaningful. In this conversation, he shares what years of filming inside the world of longevity science taught him about purpose, community, AI, and what it really means to age well. In this episode: * Why health span and lifespan are not the same thing — and why that gap is costing us * What the science of aging reveals about purpose and community as longevity tools * How AI is accelerating the loneliness epidemic inside the very industry promising longer life * What conscious longevity actually looks like when human connection is part of the equation 🎬 Watch the Forever Young Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT2V-USKm6g [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT2V-USKm6g]  🌐 Website: https://www.foreveryoung.film/ [https://www.foreveryoung.film/]  📩 Substack: https://foreveryoungfilm.substack.com/ [https://foreveryoungfilm.substack.com/]  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreveryoungdoc [https://www.instagram.com/foreveryoungdoc]  🐦 X: https://x.com/theagingdoc [https://x.com/theagingdoc]  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Forever-Young-Film/61572955294447/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Forever-Young-Film/61572955294447/]  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ForeverYoung-Film [https://www.youtube.com/@ForeverYoung-Film] To Stay Current with Michelle Dutro:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@michelledutro [https://www.youtube.com/@michelledutro]  🔗 Everything else: https://linktr.ee/michelledutro [https://linktr.ee/michelledutro] This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for the advice of a physician, therapist, or other qualified health professional.

172: Why Team Culture Is Your Biggest Advantage with Emile Studham

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519718/fan_mail/new] What if your team's performance problem isn't a strategy problem — it's a trust problem? Emile Studham has spent his career studying why some teams thrive under pressure while others fall apart — and his answer is consistent across every industry he's worked in. Before you fix the mechanics, you have to unlock the human dynamics. Trust, safety, and belonging aren't nice-to-haves. They are the engine. In this conversation, Michelle and Emile explore why so many leaders unknowingly create environments of fear and protection rather than openness and cooperation, what the "player-coach syndrome" is and how it silently undermines team culture, how storytelling builds the kind of trust that no performance review ever will, why your reward systems may be driving the exact opposite of the cooperation you're trying to create, and how the principles of high-performing teams apply just as powerfully to your personal relationships and family. Emile also shares his own journey from burnout to purpose-driven coaching — and what that turning point revealed about the environments we create for ourselves and others. If you lead people — at work, at home, or in your community — this conversation will change the questions you ask.

171: Is Your Home Holding You Back? Conscious Design with Architect, Talor Stewart

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519718/fan_mail/new] What if the reason you can't focus, your relationships feel strained, or your motivation keeps stalling has nothing to do with your mindset — and everything to do with your kitchen table? Architect and Conscious Home Design founder Talor Stewart has spent his career studying the relationship between the spaces we live in and the lives we're trying to build. His conclusion is both simple and startling: your environment is either supporting your growth or quietly undermining it — and most people never stop to look. In this conversation, Michelle and Talor explore why clutter is never just about messiness, how dedicated spaces rewire the subconscious for success, what Winston Churchill understood about buildings and human behavior that most people still haven't caught up to, why your bedroom, workspace, and kitchen table may be working against you, and how Conscious Home Design works alongside Feng Shui and intentional living to create spaces that actually support who you're becoming. You don't need a renovation. You need a new way of seeing the space you're already in.
