In this powerful episode of The Best You Podcast, Nick sits down with MJ Renshaw, breathwork guide and best-selling author of How to Cry: Release Stuck Emotions and Find Freedom. MJ’s story is one of deep transformation—leaving a nearly-completed degree in osteopathy, starting her own business, and stepping into her calling while raising two young kids.
