109. Joseph Fauria | From NFL to Breathwork, Navigating Death, and Taking the Reins to Our Life
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.
Om Podcasten
We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story.
On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.
