In this episode, we're joined by Marcus Bradley. Marcus is a holistic health coach and certified Wim Hof Method Instructor, specializing in breathwork, cold exposure, and mindset training. A teacher-in-training at the Hoffman Institute, he guides others through emotional healing and self-discovery. With a background as a Division One basketball player, Marcus blends discipline, mindfulness, and movement to help clients build resilience, clarity, and lasting transformation.

We dive into Marcus’ journey from using basketball as a way to connect with his father, to navigating the deep-rooted need to prove himself that underscored his entire life. He opens up about the importance of keeping certain joys offline and making intentional choices rather than giving into the pressures of doing something simply because everyone else is. We explore his transition from college athlete to a career in wellness, and how a toxic relationship led him to attend the Hoffman Process. Marcus shares what it means to truly “do the work” within himself, the healing power of community, and the beauty of feeling seen rather than looked at. We also talk about recognizing your distractions, challenging old thought patterns, and the mindfulness tools that help him return to the present moment.

Today I am joined by Dãmasa of DamaSoul Sacred. She is an embodied shamanic channel, sensual pleasure guide and ritualist offering transformational experiences rooted in ancestral ritual, elemental wisdom, and intimacy dynamics. Dãmasa helps individuals reconnect with self, spirit, and lineage—awakening joy, truth, and a deep sense of belonging.

In this episode, Dãmasa shares her experience as a cryptologist in the U.S. Navy, where she had to navigate a culture often unforgiving toward women, and how—after leaving the military—she unexpectedly launched a successful 20-year modeling career. She also opens up about how she built up walls and hid her pain behind her success, and how finally reaching a painful breaking point led to her finding her deeper purpose in life of helping people heal with intention.
