What if you could rewire stress from the inside out?

In this episode of Bold Journeys, host Rob Spee explores how surrender, resilience, and a science‑backed practice called Physical Intelligence can transform the way you move through adversity.

After losing his wife to a sudden brain aneurysm, resilience coach and speaker Rob Swymer found himself rebuilding his life from the ground up. What helped him rise wasn't willpower alone — it was learning how to surrender to adversity and work with his body's chemistry instead of fighting against it.

Rob shares how adversity shaped his mission, how surrender became a turning point, and how Physical Intelligence can help you regulate stress, shift your emotional state, and reconnect with purpose. You'll even learn a simple PI exercise you can try today.

If you're navigating stress, grief, or a major life transition, this conversation offers grounded, practical tools for finding strength, clarity, and hope.

• A simple Physical Intelligence practice to help regulate stress
