“Breathwork is a really powerful tool to come back to your body”

This episode sheds light on the darker side of modern life, discussing the impact of porn addiction and the manipulative tactics employed by the industry to perpetuate addictive behaviors. The discussion also touches on the psychological impact of seemingly innocuous stimuli, such as cross-dressing imagery in media, and how these elements can plant lasting seeds of obsession.

Shane Cole is the founder of Inspiratus Breathwork. Inspiratus creates collective spaces for humans to forge purpose, build resilience, and reclaim attention through their researched-backed approach to breathwork. After overcoming gender dysphoria and a crippling pornography addiction, he is on a mission to help others overcome this age of meaninglessness. His purpose is to help others find their purpose.

“What I found in my healing experience, having meaningful relationships, my girlfriend, my parents, my friends at school, having a way to give back to the world, were truly the healing things.”

Shane's journey offers a powerful narrative of recovery, highlighting the unpredictable pathways of healing and the integration of both masculine and feminine aspects of identity. This important conversation uncovers the intricate and often misunderstood layers of male gender dysphoria and the complex psychological impact of unhealthy porn use.
