Breath-work might sound simple, but in this episode with Jon Paul Crimi, it proves to be life changing.

Jon shares his raw journey from addiction and chaos to building a life of sobriety, service, and purpose. We talk about the messy reality of hitting bottom, what it really takes to stay sober, and why laughter and honesty in recovery rooms can be lifesaving.

His story shows that real transformation doesn’t happen by accident, it comes from showing up and doing the work.

We also explore how breath-work became his greatest tool for healing and helping others, why community is the cornerstone of recovery, and how purpose grows when you give back. Jon’s mix of brutal honesty, humour, and heart makes this conversation as inspiring as it is practical.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re capable of change, this episode is proof that you are.
