Episode description
Joe Fauria is a former NFL athlete, current breathwork facilitator, and co-founder of Hello Wellness Retreats. After wrapping up his time in the NFL, he found himself in similar shoes to many ex-athletes as he struggled to navigate his identity off the field—a common place to those who have transitioned away from a job that they identified so deeply with.
Along the journey to discover what else lights him up, he found himself in the depths of self-work and establishing a stronger sense of self as he now leads groups and retreats in breathwork practices to drop deeper into self-realization.
Joe and I dive into…
⟶ His journey from the NFL into breathwork facilitation
⟶ How he went against the grain to stay true to who he is
⟶ Leaning into creativity after emotionally, physically, and spiritually hitting rock bottom post-football career
⟶ The blessing of a psychedelic experience that preceded a life-altering familial loss
⟶ Growing up without a father present and how that has impacted his relationship to the masculine
⟶ And more!
