Breathe, Feel, Heal: The Power of Breathwork & Cold Exposure with Niall O’Murchu #138

In this episode of The Inner Entrepreneur, Paul sits down with Niall O'Murchu , one of Ireland’s leading wellness and breathwork experts. With over 23 years’ experience in mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, Niall is a Level 3 Wim Hof Method Instructor and the first Irish person to teach at the Wim Hof Academy.

We explore how modern life keeps our nervous systems stuck in stress mode — and how simple practices like coherent breathing and cold exposure can reset your body and mind in minutes.

Niall explains:

• Why stress quietly rewires your breathing
• The “in for six, out for six” breathing pattern that instantly restores calm
• How kids learn to self-regulate through breathwork in schools
• Why short, 1–2-minute ice sessions are more powerful than long, punishing plunges
• How the cold becomes a teacher of resilience, focus, and emotional control

This conversation is for founders, leaders, and anyone who wants more calm, clarity, and control — without slowing down their ambition.

Quotes:

“How you breathe is how you feel.” “You don’t have to win the cold — you have to respect it.” “The calm is already in you. You’re just remembering it.”
