In this powerful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with transformative coach Chris Marhefka to explore his radical journey from burnout to embodiment. Chris opens up about the breaking point that forced him to re-evaluate a life of unchecked ambition, revealing how a stress-induced brain injury sparked a deeper quest for presence, stillness, and truth. He shares how breathwork, nature, and conscious letting go became central tools in rebuilding his life—and how real healing doesn't erase ambition but roots it in authenticity. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone chasing success but feeling empty inside.
About the Guest: Chris Marhefka is a transformational coach and breathwork facilitator who helps individuals reconnect with their truth, regulate their nervous systems, and rediscover peace through presence.
