I'm hosting an Ice Bath experience with guided breathwork and calm support throughout.

You'll get real practice letting go of resistance, not by toughing it out but by noticing what happens when you slow down and trust the process. This is beginner-friendly. You step in and out when you feel ready.

We wrap up warm, grounded, clear—the kind of shift that lingers.

Ice Bath experience for Winning over discomforts of Life

I usually get questions about pressure to perform in the ice bath. There is none.

Every part of this session is slow and beginner-friendly. If you’ve never tried anything like this before, you’ll be supported the entire way.

No intensity. No expectations. Just guidance on breathing and learning how to relax in discomfort. You join the bath when you’re ready and you step out when it feels right to you.

We close with time to warm up and settle. You leave feeling more clear and grounded than when you walked in.

It's a community gathering where each attendee brings (or speaks about) one book that genuinely changed their life. Think of it as part book club, part storytelling night, part nostalgia trip — a slow, warm evening of stories and recommendations.

What is this event about?

Both GrowthX (Gx) members and non-members. You don't need to be part of the Gx community to join.

No. Speaking is encouraged but never required. If you'd rather just listen, sip coffee, and walk away with a new reading list, that's a perfectly fine way to spend the evening.

Do I have to speak?

Each person who wants to share gets a few minutes (final time slot will be confirmed on the day, depending on how many of you raise your hands). No slides, no prep needed — just talk about the book and what it did to you

How long do speakers get?

Anything. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, scripture, a business book, a children's book, a comic, a cookbook. If it changed something in you, it qualifies.

What kind of book counts?

Yes, if you can. Holding the book up while you talk about it is part of the magic. A Kindle, photo, or just the title written down works too.

Should I bring a physical copy?

We've made the event free for GX Members, those who have paid will get a refund - we want to make this super accessible to anyone who wants to come in!

Is the fee refundable?

Yes — coffee and light snacks are included in the ticket price.

Will there be food?

Drop us a note as soon as you know. The fee is non-refundable, but it helps us plan the room and the snack count

I'm running late / can't make it. What do I do?

We all have that one book that doesn't just sit on a shelf. It lingers, and sometimes it shifts the way you move through your day. 

Rahul and I are hosting an evening for people to share the books that changed them—recent reads, quiet influences, anything that left a mark. 

Every guest gets the floor. No pressure, no performance. Just honest conversation and good company.

You'll walk away with a bigger reading list and maybe see your own habits a little differently.

The Book that changed your life.

We all have a book that changed us. Sometimes it’s the words themselves, sometimes it’s what they help us see about our own lives.

This event is about trading those stories in a small, honest circle. Everyone gets the floor. No pressure, just honest conversation.

We’re holding space for only 8–12 people, so each conversation actually lands. If you want a spot, now’s a good time.
