In this powerful episode, Daniel sits down with Steven Jaggers (@jaggersjr) from somaticbreathwork.com (https://www.somaticbreathwork.com) to dive deep into the raw, often misunderstood world of breathwork. They kick off with a wild synchronicity around Vivo Barefoot and skateboarding tricks at Outside Festival, then dive headfirst into Steven’s journey from being home-free to discovering his dharma through a death-and-rebirth experience under the guidance of psychedelic pioneer Stan Grof.


They explore:

    •    The metaphorical death that realigned Steven’s life

    •    Why healing is a byproduct of connection

    •    The parasympathetic (exhale) vs. sympathetic (inhale) relationship to survival and thriving

    •    How breathwork mirrors the chakra and nervous systems

    •    Somatic breathwork’s untapped potential — from trauma release to even orgasmic states without touch

    •    Living in Big Island, Sedona, Boulder, Austin, Ashland —  true hotspots for self-evolution

    •    Dolphins at Two-Step Beach and synchronicities that can’t be explained

    •    Teaching as the highest form of learning


Steven opens up about growing up with parents who struggled with addiction, and how breathwork became a lifeline — not just to survive, but to thrive.


One of the simplest — yet most powerful — conversations ever recorded on Breaking Normal.
