How Elite Athletes Use Breathwork for Peak Performance | Frank Roser

“Life is short — most people live like they’ll never die, then die like they never truly lived.” In this high-impact episode, host Francesca Sipma sits down with one of the most revered breathwork coaches in the world, Frank Roser. Frank’s journey is the ultimate testament to the power of Intuitive Action. A former American football coach who has led teams across three continents — from the US to Japan and Europe — Frank shares how a single, vulnerable Instagram video led him to walk away from his ego-driven identity and into his true purpose.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Frank pulls back the curtain on the professional sports world and the "monkey mind" triggers that many high achievers face: the feeling of not being enough and the pressure to perform. You will hear the incredible story of how Frank brought HypnoBreathwork® into professional sports teams, helping elite athletes navigate difficult emotions, family grief, and championship-winning visualizations. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: * Breathwork for Sports: How athletes use somatic tools for focus, recovery, and releasing the "losses" of the game. * The Ego's Last Stand: Recognizing when you are clinging to an old identity (like Frank’s football career) that no longer serves your soul's growth. * The Power of Vulnerability: Why sharing "weakness" is the highest form of masculine strength. * Intuitive Action vs. Hustle: Understanding that an action taken from alignment hits differently than an action taken from desperation. * Overcoming Scarcity: Tools to reframe your nervous system when it defaults to "not enough," regardless of your bank account. * The "France Session": A glimpse into the most intense 60-minute HypnoBreathwork journey and the layers of healing it uncovers.

Robert Greene: On Mastery, Power & The Sublime | Ep. 32

NYT bestselling author Robert Greene (@RobertGreeneOfficial (https://www.youtube.com/@RobertGreeneOfficial [https://www.youtube.com/@RobertGreeneOfficial]))  — the mind behind The 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, and The Laws of Human Nature — sits down with Francesca Sipma for a conversation that is a deep, honest excavation of what it actually takes to master yourself.

Robert pulls back the curtain on his writing process post-stroke, his meditation practice, and the intuitive decisions that built one of the most influential bodies of work. He also goes deep on the psychology of irrationality, narcissism, and why most successful people are still quietly unsatisfied.
