What happens when you leave a secure career because staying feels like the bigger risk? In this episode of Tackling it Together, “Back to the Breath” we sit down with Evan McKinney-Robinson, who spent five years feeling that the corporate life he was living "wasn't me", before quitting to build an authentic Finnish-style sauna business, Suda Sauna in Chester.An incredibly candid, thought provoking and inspiring listen, Evan shares his path through therapy, from CBT and counselling to finding EMDR. He describes how cold water swimming turned a lake in Wales into a real-life safe space, and made winter something to look forward to, rather than dread. We get into Evan’s creation of Suda Sauna itself, and how heat and shared space "bring walls down". We chat about how the cold pulls you back to your breath and the present moment, and provides huge benefits in terms of nervous system regulation and positive connection.A real family man, Evan describes his children as his anchor, and we talk through the importance of balancing parenting and self-care.Reflecting on a period of significant difficulty in his life, Evan shares how pivotal it was for him to have friends around him who noticed how low he was and actually said something. As such, Evan is a huge advocate for speaking openly about mental health, and we know that his open and genuine approach to this conversation is going to have a really big impact on those who listen. A huge thank you to Evan for taking part.As always, a big thank you to NTS and AW Shipping for sponsoring this episode of Tackling it Together.
