Listen "From Royal Marine to Rebirth | Chris Davies on Breathwork, Masculinity & Healing the Modern Man"
Episode Synopsis
What if the real fear isn’t failure, but becoming the man you could be?In this raw episode of The Dad Project Podcast, host Naroop Jhooti sits down with Chris Davies, a former Royal Marine Commando turned breathwork facilitator, to explore what it really means to heal as a man. From childhood pain and family trauma to combat experience and the pressure to always be “strong,” Chris unpacks the deep emotional burdens many men silently carry and how breathwork helped him finally release them.This conversation goes deep; father wounds, toxic masculinity, spiritual awakenings, and the terrifying freedom that comes when you finally let go of the story you’ve told yourself your whole life.Whether you're a father, son, veteran, or someone seeking purpose—this episode will challenge you, move you, and maybe even change you.(00:00:00) The Burden of Becoming Your Best Self
