What actually works on social media right now? Kobe Bryant was David Brickley’s first client. Before building one of the leading social-first agencies in sports + entertainment, David got his reps in college radio, worked his way to executive producer at Fox Sports Radio + created his own opportunities when the doors weren’t opening.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Fourteen years later, he’s the founder + CEO of STN Digital, an award-winning agency working with the NFL, Olympics, TikTok + some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. In this episode, David breaks down what’s working on social today: why overly polished content is losing, why people want the human behind the brand, quality vs. quantity, what works differently across platforms + why organic social is a trust-building tool — not a conversion tool. He also shares how he’s approaching AI: automate the mundane, not the creativity. Then we get into the lessons behind 14 years of entrepreneurship — getting your reps in, having the audacity to ask, leading like a head coach, regulating through setbacks + learning to sprint toward uncomfortable conversations. Plus, David + Francesca unpack the other side of high performance: getting out of your ego, making space for friendship + fun, and why you shouldn’t wait until you’ve “made it” to enjoy the life you’re working so hard to build. And he flips the conversation on her at the end.

Money, titles, promotions, followers, and sales are easy to track. But they can’t tell you whether you’re becoming someone you respect, protecting your health, showing up for the people you love, or enjoying the life you’re building. In this solo episode of the Mastry Experience, Francesca challenges the culture that teaches high performers to postpone living until the company grows, the deal closes, or the next milestone arrives. If freedom, connection, and meaningful experiences are what you want, why wait years to experience them? The defining insight: growth is not always more discipline, resilience, or output. Your growth edge may be the quality you resist most — patience, empathy, boundaries, vulnerability, or, for Francesca, love. After recognizing how uncomfortable love felt in business and leadership, she made the change practical: choose one person each day and make them feel supported, seen, or believed in. Small actions became a way to rewire an identity and practice open-hearted peak performance. You’ll learn how to: • Stop tying your self-worth to visible results • Identify the growth edge your strengths cannot solve • Build ambition without sacrificing health or relationships • Turn an uncomfortable quality into a daily practice • Measure progress through character and alignment TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Redefining success 01:07 Stop postponing your life 03:57 Find your real growth edge 05:00 Why love belongs in leadership 06:32 Rewiring identity through action 08:13 Better metrics for progress CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE: Instagram: @francescasipma (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) &@mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience)Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com 👍 Like if this proved that the inner work produces real, measurable results 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell — new episodes every week 📲 Share with a high-performer who's strong everywhere except where it actually counts Recommended Session: Dissolving Ego (http://app.mastry.me/s/YPsewZ) under Growth Category  in the Mastry App (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mastry-app/id1604578159)  Subscribe and follow for more!

From foster care, addiction and abusive relationships to building a conscious marriage and helping millions of women heal, Sheleana shows what’s possible when you stop trying to find the one — and start becoming the one.  What you’ll learn: Why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns How abandonment wounds affect attraction and conflict Why healthy love can feel boring after chaotic relationships How anxious and avoidant attachment feed each other Why a secure partner won’t heal you How to stop chasing, rescuing and self-abandoning What it actually means to “become the one” How Sheleana transformed her relationship with her mother wound Why female friendship and sisterhood are essential to healthy love How somatic healing, hypnobreathwork and nervous system work can change who you’re attracted to TIMESTAMPS: 07:30 How early wounds shape attraction 14:40 Abandonment and anxious attachment 20:54 Why familiarity feels like chemistry 32:10 What makes a relationship conscious 36:00 Healing changes who attracts you 38:42 Partnership unlocks deeper healing 48:54 Generosity as relationship medicine CONNECT WITH SHELEANA AIYANA: Website: RisingWoman.com & SheleanaAiyana.com Instagram: @RisingWoman (https://www.instagram.com/risingwoman/) @SheleanaAiyana (https://www.instagram.com/sheleanaaiyana/) Youtube:@RisingWoman (https://www.youtube.com/@RisingWoman) Facebook: @RisingWomanOfficial @SheleanaAiyana Books: Becoming The One Book (https://courses.risingwoman.com/btobook) Becoming The One Journal (https://sheleanaaiyana.com/becoming-the-one-book-journal/)Thank You For This Day (https://a.co/d/0b0bOQxw) The Four Seasons of Heartbreak (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/804180/the-four-seasons-of-heartbreak-by-sheleana-aiyana/) Connect with Francesca Sipma & The Mastry Experience: Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com Instagram:@francescasipma (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) &@mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience)Recommended Mastry app session:HEALING HEARTBREAK (http://app.mastry.me/s/jfGlaS).

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!  In this episode, Naz pulls back the curtain on what it actually took to get there. She and Francesca go deep on the bold moves made with no guarantee, the financial uncertainty behind a career that looks effortless, and the identity shifts required to keep choosing her calling again and again. This is a conversation about radical specificity, trusting your intuition, creativity, money, and what it really means to go after the life you want. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH: → The Soak Method: Naz's two-phase creative process—deep research followed by deliberate silence—for channeling original ideas → How to recognize and trust intuitive hits, and how they shaped Naz's biggest career pivots → The financial reality of choosing your calling and the mindset that makes uncertainty survivable → The Kabbalah principle "What a Pleasure"—finding your power in the pause between trigger and reaction → Giving vs. taking energy: the framework behind meaningful interviews, relationships, and connections → Why individuation—becoming your own source of wisdom—is essential for building something that lasts TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 — Mastry card + the Fast & Furious dream and the power of specificity 1:11 — Naz's career: UCF journalism → Ellen → E! → Oscars, Met Gala & Dodgers 3:48 — Why Naz calls her career a calling 4:25 — The Naz Perez Playbook: turning a real cultural problem into a course 9:30 — The creator economy: making content work for you 11:19 — Ayahuasca, phone hygiene & channeling without the noise 12:46 — The Soak Method: research, silence & creativity 17:48 — "We don't own anything": letting go of ego and scarcity 20:02 — How intuition drove Naz's biggest career moves 27:28 — The Space Jam audition that changed everything 29:30 — The financial reality of leaving security for a calling 35:00 — "The longer it takes, the more fun I'll have" 40:49 — Kabbalah, the WOP bracelet & the What a Pleasure practice 46:01 — Giving vs. taking energy 49:38 — Being Latina in Hollywood 1:04:51 — Individuation: stop looking outside yourself for your source of wisdom 1:07:30 — The Naz Perez Playbook + working with Naz 1:09:24 — Mastry App recommendation: Releasing Performance Anxiety CONNECT WITH NAZ PEREZ: Course: How to Curate a Killer Interview → nazperez.com Instagram: @nazperez CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE: Instagram:  @francescasipma & @mastryexperience Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com If this conversation gave you permission to trust your own intuition, share it with someone navigating a leap of their own. 👍 Like if this shifted how you think about intuition, money, or pursuing your calling. 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell for new episodes every week. 📲 Share with someone in the middle of reinventing themselves.

Michelle Cooksey and Francesca Sipma unpack what it actually takes to leave the security of corporate life, trust your intuition, and redefine success on your own terms. Michelle shares how burnout transformed her leadership style from ego-driven and validation-seeking to relationship-driven leadership built on trust, psychological safety, and self-awareness. They explore why building strong relationships with your team directly impacts performance, how to hire self-starters and critical thinkers, and why the way you lead others starts with the way you lead yourself. They also get personal about grief, losing a parent, Michelle and her husband arriving at a Bali HypnoBreathwork® retreat broken up and leaving together, and how breathwork helped her develop the self-trust to make one of the biggest decisions of her life. In this episode: Why ego-driven leadership leads to burnout, and what conscious leadership looks like instead How to build real trust, loyalty, and psychological safety with your team What quitting a six-figure job actually feels like — the fear, the self-doubt, and the intuition you can't ignore Using breathwork to trust yourself when everyone around you wants an explanation How grief changes your relationship to work, ambition, and time Leading through loss without abandoning yourself in the process TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Emotional safety vs. chemistry 01:40 Leaving a 23-year career 07:20 Ego-driven vs. heart-led leadership 08:20 Self-trust, fear and the leap 12:38 Purpose requires patience 21:14 Building high-performing teams 30:31 How grief changes ambition 43:42 Living fully, leading consciously CONNECT WITH MICHELLE COOKSEY: Website: jmichellecooksey.com Instagram: @jmichellecooksey Newsletter Subscribe Link: https://jmichellecooksey.myflodesk.com/subscribe Sunday Leadership Email: subscribe via her Instagram bio  Connect with Francesca Sipma & The Mastry Experience: Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com Instagram: @francescasipma (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) &@mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience) This episode’s Mastry App recommendation is Belief (http://app.mastry.me/s/eC8wAT) under Peak Performance Category.

Francesca sits down with combat veteran, entrepreneur, fly-fishing guide, and certified HypnoBreathwork® coach Marcus “Doc” Haralson. Marcus reveals why veterans can feel behind after service, how unprocessed trauma follows them home, and how he rebuilt his identity through responsibility, entrepreneurship, community, and breathwork. The defining insight: your identity does not end when a chapter closes. The discipline, grit, leadership, and resilience you built can become the foundation of a new mission. You’ll learn how to: • Rebuild purpose after losing a role that defined you • Use hypnobreathwork to quiet mental noise and hear your next action • Create emotional safety so men can process instead of isolate • Turn military skills and hardship into entrepreneurial strength • Act on intuition before doubt becomes procrastination Put it into practice: List five strengths your hardest chapter gave you. Ask: “What new mission needs these strengths now?” Regulate your nervous system, take the clearest next step within 24 hours, and contact someone you trust instead of carrying everything alone.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!  In this personal Solo Episode of The Mastry Experience, Francesca honors Bryan Marville — someone she once loved, and whose passing led her to revisit a wild, complicated, formative chapter of her twenties. She speaks honestly about grief, shared memories, regret, forgiveness, and the letter that helped bring peace before it was too late. Bryan Marville was a founder, brand strategist, and entrepreneur known for combining creative thinking with a deep commitment to performance, sustainability, and the outdoors. He founded WORN, an apparel company created to challenge commodity cotton basics and fast fashion through high-performance, lower-impact materials, including its technically enhanced Merino wool platform. Before building WORN, Bryan held senior strategy and innovation roles at leading agencies including Berlin Cameron, Jack Morton Worldwide, Droga5, and Grey Group. With a master's degree in Advertising Strategy from Virginia Commonwealth University, he brought a sharp understanding of brand, user experience, and culture to every project he touched. That perspective was hard-earned. An Eagle Scout and lifelong adventurer, Bryan bow-hunted in the backcountry of Idaho, sailed waters from the Hudson to the Andaman Sea off Thailand, and surfed, snowboarded, and traveled his way around the world — always returning with a sharper sense of what gear actually needs to do in the field. Remembered as a creative storyteller, outdoorsman, and generous friend, Bryan approached life with equal parts ambition, curiosity, and humor. He passed away in May 2026 at age 43, leaving a lasting impact on the people, ideas, and ventures he inspired. This is an episode about aliveness. Bryan built, traveled, created, loved, and lived boldly. His life is a reminder that fulfillment is not measured only in years, but in how completely we use the time we have. Honor Bryan's work: Explore WORN, the sustainable performance-apparel company Bryan built from the ground up — technical Merino wool, built to last: wornofftheradar.com You'll learn: Why grief can feel intense even after years without contact How unresolved emotions live beneath loss Why apology and forgiveness matter before closure is possible How breathwork can help you access what words cannot How mortality can sharpen your purpose and move you to live bigger Timestamps: 01:11 — Losing someone who once knew you deeply 03:00 — The life Bryan built, and how fully he lived 07:11 — A complicated love, healing, and forgiveness 09:30 — The words left unsaid 11:14 — What grief teaches us about living boldly 13:25 — Honoring Bryan and choosing surrender CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE: Instagram: @francescasipma (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) &@mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience)Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com 👍 Like if this proved that the inner work produces real, measurable results 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell — new episodes every week 📲 Share with a high-performer who's strong everywhere except where it actually counts This episode’s Mastry App recommendation is Surrender (http://app.mastry.me/s/ACoBr1) under Growth Category.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Francesca Sipma sits down with Bree Johnson — former employment attorney, law firm managing partner, founder of Executive Unschool and the Work Recovery System, host of How Good Can It Get, and certified HypnoBreathwork® coach — to unpack the hidden cost of ambition, how to heal your work wounds, and what becomes possible when your identity is no longer defined by productivity. After thousands of conversations with executives at their lowest, Bree coined the term “work wounds” to describe the invisible damage people carry from job to job without language for what happened — or a way to move through it. Her framework identifies the 4 B’s: bullying, burnout, bad behavior, and betrayal. This conversation goes beyond identifying the wound. Bree and Francesca explore performative ambition, separating self-worth from work, trusting intuition, redefining wealth, and using deep inner work to create success without sacrificing yourself to achieve it. They also explore soulmate-level partnership and what Bree calls beliefs-level intimacy — connecting through dreams, values, purpose, and the life you’re intentionally building together. WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH: → The Work Wounds framework and the 4 B’s — and why naming your wound can stop you from carrying it into your next chapter → How ambitious identity can become a ceiling, even when it was responsible for your success → What performative ambition looks like and how to release it without losing your edge → Why separating your worth from your work changes how you lead, perform, and make decisions → The unexpected fear beneath Bree’s desire for “more” uncovered during breathwork → What doing the inner work alongside your partner can create beyond surface-level intimacy → A different definition of wealth: relationships, health, creative freedom, purpose, and time TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Bree’s journey: attorney → law firm leader → Executive Unschool 06:03 Work Wounds explained: the 4 B’s 10:18 Francesca’s work wound & the need to overprove 13:51 Separating your worth from your work 18:20 Performative ambition & learning to rest 23:02 The TEDx opportunity that arrived when Bree stopped pushing 44:43 The hidden fear beneath wanting “more” 57:06 How healing creates a ripple effect through families 59:00 Partnership, Bali & beliefs-level intimacy 1:00:27 Redefining wealth beyond money 1:02:40 Breathwork debrief: “I decide” & reconnecting with her younger self 1:09:15 Where to find Bree + Mastry App recommendation CONNECT WITH BREE JOHNSON Instagram: @breejohnsonofficial | @executiveunschool Podcast: How Good Can It Get Retreat: Wisconsin — November (details on Bree’s socials) CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE Instagram: @francescasipma (https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) | @mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience) Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com If this episode gave language to something you’ve been carrying, share it with someone who needs to hear it. 👍 Like if this gave you permission to want something different from what you’ve been chasing 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell — new episodes every week 📲 Share with a high achiever building something big while feeling the weight of it MASTRY APP This episode’s recommended sessions are Getting Centered (http://app.mastry.me/s/eQViYD) under Flow Category.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!  In Part 2, Tyler Noyes shares how HypnoBreathwork® helped him map his romantic history, see what kept repeating, and ask a better question: not “Who do I want?” but “Who do I need to become?” That work changed how he showed up when he met Corliss. Instead of overanalyzing or protecting himself, Tyler trusted what he felt. He flew from Denver to Los Angeles for their first date, met her family on their second trip, and used vulnerability and breathwork to build emotional safety early. The defining insight: relationships are mirrors. You cannot control another person, but you can take responsibility for the beliefs, defenses, and energy you bring into love. Change your patterns, and you change who you are available to attract. You’ll learn how to: • Spot the pattern connecting your past relationships • Replace blame with honest self-responsibility • Separate intuition from fear and overthinking • Create emotional safety through vulnerability • Invest in growth from alignment—not inadequacy • Define success through time, health, relationships, and meaning TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Mapping relationship patterns 02:04 Become the partner you want 06:05 When intuition looks illogical 11:39 Vulnerability changes the relationship 14:22 Their second-date PowerPoint 18:04 Investing in your next level 27:21 Redefining wealth and success 34:11 Breaking imposter syndrome’s ceiling Watch Part 1: Breathwork for High Performance with Tyler Noyes | Ep. 45 Part 1 CONNECT WITH TYLER NOYES: Instagram: @tylersnoyes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersnoyes (https://www.instagram.com/tylersnoyes/#) CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE: Instagram: @francescasipma (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) &@mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience) Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com If this episode gives you clarity, like the video, subscribe or follow, and share it with someone ready for healthier love.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!  In Part 1, Francesca sits down with Huel GM, entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and HypnoBreathwork® coach Tyler Noyes. Fresh from climbing Everest’s elevation at 29029, Tyler shares what surfaced when his body was exhausted with nowhere left to hide. A year earlier, injury, heartbreak, friendship loss, and depression had collided. Tyler tried to solve it like many high performers do: work harder, analyze more, and push through. Even talk therapy became something his analytical mind could debate. Then one HypnoBreathwork® session after a Navy SEAL workout unlocked emotion and memories he had not touched in decades. Breathwork gave his “monkey mind” a job: follow the breathing pattern. As mental noise softened, Tyler could access the beliefs beneath his performance, process what he had compartmentalized, and hear a clear next step. That final intuitive action moved the work beyond insight and into change. The proof was not another achievement. It was the vulnerable conversation with his mom that he kept postponing—and later a shared breathwork session that replaced old pain with compassion and connection. You’ll learn how to: • Recognize when productivity is emotional avoidance • Use breathwork to access emotion beneath overthinking • Turn subconscious insight into courageous action Try this: Name what you keep trying to outwork. Ask, “What am I protecting myself from feeling?” Then take one honest action within 24 hours. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Friendship and honest truth 02:17 Everesting and the inner conversation 06:17 When high performance stops working 11:16 Emotional courage with his mom 19:03 Why breathwork works for high performers 22:16 When survival patterns overstay This is personal development, spirituality, and peak performance from the inside out: regulate your nervous system, release the pattern, and trust your inner guidance. Part 2 drops next week: Tyler confronts his repeating relationship patterns, asks who he must become to attract healthy love, and follows an “illogical” intuition across the country for a first date. What follows changes how he understands vulnerability, timing, and “when you know, you know.” CONNECT WITH TYLER NOYES: Instagram: @tylersnoyesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersnoyes (https://www.instagram.com/tylersnoyes/#) CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE: Instagram: @francescasipma (https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/francescasipma) &@mastryexperience (https://www.instagram.com/mastryexperience) Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com If this episode showed you what's possible — share it with one person who's been outworking a problem that needs a different approach. 👍 Like if this gave you permission to want something different than what you've been chasing 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell — new episodes every week 📲 Share with an entrepreneur who's building something big and feeling the weight of it This episode’s Mastry App recommendation is Think Bigger (http://app.mastry.me/s/KsAkYF) session under  Peak Performance .

In this solo episode, Francesca shares the deeply personal lessons from her 13th trip to Bali — where she arrived feeling frustrated, reactive, disconnected, and weighed down by resentment, and left with a profound return to compassion, intuition, acceptance, and service. From Ubud’s jungle stillness to breathwork, meditation, family constellations, sound healing, and difficult moments of sitting with grief and discomfort, this is an honest look at what real personal transformation can require. Not forcing positivity. Not bypassing the hard feelings. Not becoming someone else — but letting the protective layers, old stories, and pressure fall away so you can come back to yourself. Francesca also shares why Bali has become such an essential part of her own healing and growth journey — and why she curates the Bali HypnoBreathwork® Retreat for people who are ready to step away from the noise, release old patterns, access clarity, and experience a true reset in one of the most powerful places in the world. Explore the Bali HypnoBreathwork Retreat, July 11–17, 2027: Join Francesca for the Bali HypnoBreathwork® Retreat, a 7-day luxury immersion in Ubud created for deep personal transformation, nervous-system restoration, subconscious reprogramming, and meaningful connection.  Experience HypnoBreathwork® in nature,luxury accommodations, spa treatments, nourishing meals, sacred excursions, and a powerful community of people committed to becoming their most aligned selves.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!  Together, they unpack the psychology of entrepreneurship, the nervous system patterns that keep high performers stuck, and why embodiment beats strategy when building a business aligned with your purpose. The conversation moves through visibility, fear of failure, money wounds, social media burnout, and the frequency behind real success. Jason also undergoes a live HypnoBreathwork® session with Francesca — a breakthrough around masculinity, suppression, and reclaiming the parts of himself he'd buried. If you're an entrepreneur, coach, or creator navigating pressure and expansion, this one's for you. In This Episode: Why most entrepreneurs fail publicly before they win The psychology behind $35K, $50K, and $100K months Entrepreneurship as nervous system and identity work Why embodiment matters more than strategy The blocks that sabotage growth and visibility Building a coaching business without social media The danger of tying self-worth to business metrics How breathwork unlocks courage, intuition, and clarity Masculinity, suppression, and soul retrieval TIMESTAMPS: 0:46 — Mastry card: when did you last sabotage something good? 1:00 — Everything is neutral — the story we attach creates the experience 3:05 — From first call to first $35K month 6:37 — Every goal has a frequency: why strategy alone never closes the gap 7:30 — The "have, do, be" mistake — why embodiment comes first 9:39 — It's not the action, it's the "come from" behind it 14:07 — The biggest obstacle for young entrepreneurs: being seen failing 15:08 — Measuring success by integrity, not revenue 21:58 — Building a coaching business without social media 25:24 — Why "I help everyone" is the most expensive positioning mistake 25:35 — The Henry Ford / Steinmetz story: you're paid for the problem you solve 31:30 — Raising prices isn't about more — it's about solving more elegantly 34:04 — Advice for coaches starting in 2026: operator first, business second 38:34 — The highlight reel taught you to want a life you don't actually want 39:09 — Live HypnoBreathwork session begins 42:18 — Generational financial trauma surfacing in the breath 49:13 — "Sometimes success is the stillness, the pullback, the foundation" 51:36 — Where to find Jason + his Get More Clients newsletter 53:01 — Francesca's pick: Decision Making on the Mastry App CONNECT WITH JASON LEW: Newsletter: Get More Clients  Instagram: _jasonlew_ CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA SIPMA & THE MASTRY EXPERIENCE: Instagram:  @francescasipma & @mastryexperience Website: francescasipma.com | mastryexperience.com If this conversation gave you language for something you've been carrying in your business — share it with one entrepreneur who needs to hear it. 👍 Like if this shifted how you think about strategy vs. embodiment 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell — new episodes every week 📲 Share with a coach, founder, or entrepreneur ready to build from the inside out This episode’s Mastry App recommendation is Decision Making under Corporate Category.

Get Huel today with my exclusive offer of 15% OFF online with my code MASTRY at huel.com/MASTRY. New Customers Only. Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!   In this raw, honest, and deeply human episode, Francesca Sipma guides Abir Mandal — tax economist, meditator, and high-performer — through a live HypnoBreathwork session focused on one of the most universal struggles men face: the gap between who they know they are and how they show up when it counts. Abir is intelligent, self-aware, physically fit, and genuinely kind. On paper, he has every reason to walk into a room with total confidence. But something keeps him surface-level — in conversations, in dating, in vulnerability. This episode goes looking for the root. And it finds it. For any man who has ever felt the freeze — who knows what he wants to say but can't seem to get it out. It's not a character flaw. It's a subconscious pattern. And patterns can be rewired. This episode connects directly to The Mastry Experience's core belief: peak performance is not just physical or professional. It includes emotional presence, self-expression, and the courage to be fully seen. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH: → Why confidence isn't something you have — it's something you build, one kept promise at a time → How childhood rejection creates subconscious blueprints that silently run your adult behavior → Why the most attractive thing you can do in a conversation has nothing to do with what you say → What an alter ego actually does for your nervous system — and how to use one intentionally → The specific breathwork sequence Francesca used to surface and dissolve Abir's confidence blocks → A clear, actionable starting point: the 7-Day Reset on the Mastry App, beginning with self-worth TIMESTAMPS: 0:15 — Pre-session check-in: what breathwork has Abir tried? 2:10 — Abir's intention: difficulty expressing romantic interest and vulnerability 4:01 — Family dynamics and what was never modeled for him 9:08 — The pattern: things fall into his lap instead of being pursued 11:57 — Three paths: confidence in pursuit, emotional depth, or intellectual match 13:27 — How COVID eroded what social confidence he had left 14:37 — What women actually want in a conversation 18:14 — "You think you're good at your job, or you know you are?" 22:22 — Live HypnoBreathwork session begins 31:49 — Prompt: when did you lose your confidence? 38:40 — Prompt: what's your next action step toward your most confident self? 47:07 — Where the block began: rejection at 12 that wasn't even personal 50:17 — Why childhood rejection digs so deep — and how breath dissolves it 51:35 — "I could intellectualize my strengths, but I couldn't feel them" 51:58 — His action step: the James Bond alter ego that arrived 53:13 — Confidence is a muscle: built through promises you keep to yourself 53:23 — Francesca's recommendation: the 7-Day Reset on Mastry App  If this hits close to home — share it with a man in your life who needs to hear it. 👍 Like if this gave language to something you've been carrying quietly 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell — new episodes every week 📲 Share with someone ready to stop playing it safe This episode’s Mastry App recommendation is 7-Day Reset.

In this week’s episode, Francesca Sipma sits down with Jondrea Phelps, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, author, and certified HypnoBreathwork® coach.

Get Huel today with my exclusive offer of 15% OFF online with my code MASTRY at huel.com/MASTRY. New Customers Only. Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show!  Jondrea shares her journey of debilitating anxiety, depression, and eating disorders — and the pivotal moment when HypnoBreathwork® finally allowed her to identify the root causes of her trauma, providing a release that decades of traditional therapy couldn't reach. Just as she began her coaching journey, Jondrea received a life-altering diagnosis: breast cancer. Instead of halting her life, she used her breath to navigate the storm. While still in drainage tubes following a mastectomy, she joined the Unblock Your Purpose cohort, receiving an intuitive vision that birthed her clothing line, Flatties Wear, designed to empower women who have undergone mastectomies. You will hear how Jondrea transitioned from a "warrior" to a "thriver," choosing grace over resentment. We dive deep into her new book, Shit Happens, and the incredible story of leading a luxurious, transformative retreat in Iceland. This episode concludes with a live breakdown of a custom HypnoBreathwork® session where Jondrea sheds her old labels to steps into her highest self. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The Cost of Playing Small: Why suppressing your true potential leads to internal battle and anxiety. Response as Control: How to surrender to a "bigger plan" while reclaiming control over how you respond to illness and hardship. Creative Flow in the Trenches: The secret to accessing business ideas and writing a book in the middle of medical treatment. Healing the Root Cause: How somatic breathwork bypasses the analytical mind to resolve 30 years of repressed suffering. Post-Cancer Identity: Navigating the "unexpected" journey of rediscovering who you are after the clinical treatments end. Financial Freedom Through Service: Why leading with heart and pure intention is the fastest way to manifest abundance.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Brandie opens up about the "armor" formed — becoming less magnetic and more critical just to command a seat at the table. Brandie shares what  many successful women face: realizing that the very strength and hyper-independence used to build a career eventually becomes a ceiling for their next level of growth. She discusses a profound breakthrough from her HypnoBreathwork® practice, where she realized she had spent years viewing partnership as a form of "shrinking," only to discover that true connection is actually an invitation for expansion. The conversation dives deep into the specific challenges faced by Black women in the industry, the dehumanizing pressure of performance, and the "efficiency" of somatic work. You will witness a live breakdown of Brandie’s recent HypnoBreathwork® session, where she focuses on letting the guardedness fall away, integrating her roles as a mother and CEO, and stepping into the frequency of nurture as a business strategy. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The Cost of the Armor: How being "guarded" in professional spaces impacts your ability to be authentic with your children and partners. Redefining Partnership: Moving from the fear of being "too much" to realizing that a high-level connection accelerates your expansion. Creatives & Somatics: Why music industry professionals need HypnoBreathwork® to reconnect to their originality and drown out the "algorithm noise." Hyper-Independence as Protection: Identifying the "Island of One" mentality and learning how to let others access and support you. Wholeness vs. Compartmentalization: The exhaustion of switching identities between investors and family, and the power of radical integration.
